Talking it's good to be the king

Here are a couple of links:

Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet

and the Dagbladet from Norway

I can't really translate it, but the gist of it is that the Swedish King Carl Gustaf (and Mrs. King) in one p-car and prince Carl Philip in another went for a little ride at speeds of up to 100 mph... The fun moment is that even though Sweden has pretty Draconian speeding fines, the royal family is immune from those. yoohoo!

Hehe!

The funny thing is that they where totally escorted by agents in SAABs and VOLVOS and they couldn't keep up with them.

The royal family where on their way home after driving a track day at one of Swedens finest racing stadiums.

Ofcourse, no one else was alloved on the track while the royal family raced their Porsches around the circuit
