M,

In the UK maybe 928's do most of their mileage on the back of recovery trucks these days?

How is the S4 doing? Can you afford to fill it up from time to time now you are back to paying Cameron and Company 40p on the pound? At least you have income to pay tax on [I trust]- more than I can say at the moment!

My S4 is doing fine now it has been prepared for UK weather. However, not used it much due to other matters but they seem to be an appreciating asset back here in the UK at the moment. Hope you get the job situation sorted.

My wife´s red Strosek Ultra used to be speed yellow before I restored it including a full paint job about fifteen years ago. It is now indian red - see avatar picture.

By the way in this country having the next highest rate of taxation in the world we see the UK as a tax haven.

Since the wing is painted, maybe the entire car was painted and it's not the original color?

Hard to believe that Sweden has one of the happiest populations in the world with the taxation there- just goes to show that in the UK we must be a sorry bunch -well the ones left there that is [Ha ha]!

If the red Strosek is what your better half drives then what do you drive?

Fred, I am driving the marine blue Strosek and the third prussian blue Strosek is sitting in the garage not being driveable for the moment.

Half of the Swedish population receiving handouts from the government is very happy. The other half paying for it is less happy.

Swedish billionaire buying an English village.

Ake,

Hmmm- big Strosek fans- well I would never have guessed that! Did Strosek do anything to the motors or was their effort limited to body work mods?

Looks like the Vikings are making a comeback in the UK- hopefully we will not get our butts kicked this time around!

Best wishes

Strosek only made body works, well I have heard they installed Supercharger Kits from an Austrian company on some cars.
Thought many of you are descended from the Vikings, no need for another invasion.

Some Strosek have received an Albrex compressor indeed.
If you are interested, I think I know one that will be removed from a 928 soon. And it's in Sweden.

Actually quite a bunch mongrels [bit of everything] in reality.

Not so sure I agree with you on the invasion bit- I rather think we need something to restore the discipline & respect that seems to be somewhat lacking these days. Maybe it is me just getting old, tired and decrepit!

Sure wish I had a Swedish [or anything else] billionaire Uncle!

Mongrels is a new word for me, had to look it up. Same over here, the population is getting more and more a mix of people from all over. Right now we have many refugees coming from the middle east, up to 90.000 are expected this year and that is to a country having a population of less than 10
millions.
An invasion nowadays will be tourists but as the British pound is quite strong
right now I think it will hold back the invasion a bit.
