Default Hi, from a new shark owner

Hi to you all, from a new member from Norway, I have been reading the posts here for a while, and I`m impressed, this must be one of the best sites on the net.
Here are a few photos of my shark.

Cheers HP

Welcome turbox19

I’m new to the forums as well! I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area, very cool to have 928 owners from around the globe sharing information & photos with us.

Beautiful Car

Hello HP:

Congratulations! That's a very nice shark you have there, with nice rims and a few GTS upgrades in the back. Hope you enjoy both the car and us here at sharkoholics anonymous... Stop by whenever you need to talk!

Now, I hear that speed limits in Norway are extremely low and strictly enforced. Is this true? Then how would you streatch the shark's legs?

Very nice, except for all that white stuff in the background. Welcome aboard one of the best groups around. This forum is the greatest resource if you are interested in doing your own wrenching as well as all of the inside information that you could ever need.

That's one might purdy vehicle. Welcome to a very wonderful online community; one that bails me out about once a week. My wife's family is originally from Norway and we plan to visit in the next couple of years.

Peace,
Tim

Hello!

I am from Norway too! Where do you live? Nice car! I guess it is a "Norwegian special" - that means a pre 1983 car rebuilt to newer spec?
