Got some pictures from my friend Tommy he took at the midnight yesterday
Sun shines nicely almost 24 H/day in Finnish Lappland.

I would love to have daylight like that but could not stand the 5 minutes of daylight at noon 6 months from now - thanks for sharing the pictures.

Great pics Olli - reminds me of when I'm over in Sankt Petersburg to see the wife’s family ... Quite a surreal feeling

I see Tommy still hasn't painted his vents yet

Olli, I must correct you...it's N 7594446 E 3518334, way beyond the arctic circle, so the sun doesn't now set at all...actually the latest sunrise was on the 17th of May, and the next sunset will be at the 27th of July.

3,0l & Holset HX 40 super, I can recommend. But my engine was eventually sold in pieces...long story, won't get into it here. Another one is running strong too.

Tommy has similar LEDA coil-overs that I got. And my past howitzer exhaust ( 3" --> 3½" --> 4" ) is there too.

Pete & I are living about 100km's north from Estonian cost, just Gulf of Finland between our countries. Estonia is in "deep south"


Yes I remember seeing the pictures of you working in your white flight shirt and trousers
Mark, gentleman must have some style, even when installing D9 vents

Great pics Olli - reminds me of when I'm over in Sankt Petersburg to see the wife’s family ... Quite a surreal feeling
Mark, when you are next time over there, you should visit us, after all just about 350km's to west. Perhaps we can make a plan when we see in Zürich Switzerland in couple of weeks.

Pete, you are absolutely right. Lots of sun and billions of Mosquitos After all i prefer Lappland's winter when there is hardly no sun but no mosquitos either.Great place for winter activities.
