My neighbor had one of these old Volvos. I always though it was cool...

Tjenare Robert, o tack för välkomnandet! :)
I watched some of your videos (great stuff, BTW!) on youtube, followed the links and ended up here. Looked like a cool place, so I thought I'd might as well sign up and join the fun! I hang out on a few other forums as well, Strat- and Squier-talk and TDPRI, but this seems to be more of a "guitars-and-stuff-in-general" community, which can be nice for a change, and as a complement to the other, more brand specific ones. :)
Thanks for the warning about the SuperSwede, I'll watch my back! :D
Cheers
Johan

Welcome to The Fret, Telefinkin.
Ha ha, thanks Doug! :D
Yeah, those Volvo P1800's are really cool! The guy who designed it later became Swedens most well-known boat designer. Too bad he didn't stay with Volvo instead... http://ct5.pbase.com/o2/84/809884/1/127861540.tdlSEW4T.486.gif
Hey, nice guitars You have! http://ct5.pbase.com/o3/84/809884/1/116708745.qnd7h4S8.thumbsup.gif I love those Reverends, although I've never seen one "in person".

Yes! Thank Goodness for the power of IKEA! I can get me meatballs there anytime I'm Edmonton. Actually, it's crazy how cheap it is to eat there. You can get pasta lunch for $1.99, and meat balls and potatoes are $2.99. Talk about fast and good fast food!

Welcome!
You do know that hailing from the shredder nation of Sweden means that you'll be playing rings around us in no time. :thumbsup
Glad you're here, and post often!
On another note, I heard an IKEA advertisement on the radio yesterday. A bright and cheery Swedish accented, female voice said (and I'm paraphrasing):
"At IKEA, we have everything for the home. Cookware to prepare a family meal, servingware to serve it, and if they complain, we sell lots of big, sharp knives!"
After laughing heartily, I made a mental note. If I'm EVER in Sweden (or see an IKEA logo in the home), I've decided to eat whatever is offered, and like it, lest I leave with more holes in me than I arrived with. :D

I've had that meal at our Ikea, and it was pretty dang tasty.
Might need to go up to the store again...

Hey, it seems like nowadays it's not ABBA that most people associate with Sweden, but IKEA! :D
(Robert, I've heard that in the US You can buy Julmust at IKEA around Christmas time, have You seen that in Canada too? I know that is one thing I would really miss if I went to live abroad! http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/images/smilies/ph34r.gif )

Holy mother of... I'm moving to Sweden.
Reminds me of when I went to visit my sister who was on work assignment in Copenhagen. I was 14, and very impressionable back then...!
Sadly, I did not stay very long, and was too shy at the time to look for a like-minded soulmate.
