Gothenburg, Day 5

By Anonymous -
Up earlier then the last two days this morning, since my colleague needed to be in the office an hour earlier today. Meetings most of the day but this afternoon several of us went to the Volvo Museum and looked around a bit. It's a neat place with a bunch of concept vehicles in it.

The office.


Some of the vehicles in the museum:






Kinda looks like a Chrysler Airflow...


P1800ES, the sport wagon version of the P1800


Simon Templar's (The Saint) P1800


Concept vehicles


Concept vehicle for the C30


Concept vehicle for the XC90


A look at the truck gallery from above


Yes Volvo made tractors too


The Titan, one of the longest produced of Volvo's truck models


European cab-over tractors. And after seeing some of the windy, narrow streets in Gothenburg I can understand why they use cab-overs.


Latest version of the FH16


Interior of the cab-over

How come you never see cab-overs in the 'States anymore?

Evidently the overall length laws were relaxed. My father's company used to run cab-overs and meeting the length restrictions was the reason.

I just got an email from Bill and he's willing to provide the books at cost. So the total, including shipping, is only $125. So we have about $345 extra bucks. (I should have mentioned earlier that Paypal charges a 3.2% transaction fee, so our total is a bit less than $470) So, refunds? Or take kulak's idea and donate the balance to Soldiers' Angels or some other group? Just let me know.

Where is everybody?

That little button in the left column, above the Dougster will open a chat room. Right now it's a freebie and, to quote Otto, "Sucks eggs." It is functional however and has some fun features. I'll be upgrading it shortly so we can open separate rooms and see chat history. (And get rid of the ads) If there's enough interest it can be upgraded further to something like the Arena short form that we had envisioned. One window for the combatants and another for the crowd. If you're just stopping by, leave a comment so I can gauge the level of interest.
