Photo Sunday - Car meeting at Nebbenes

Last Sunday, the American Cruisers Club Eidsvoll and Romerike Gammelbilklubb organized a car meeting at the cafe on the north side of Nebbenes. There was a barbecue, music and nice cars, of course.

Nostalgia on E6

I stopped by Nebbenes on my way up the E6 for a necessary errand at the cabin. The cars from the 60s, 70s and 80s brought back memories of the holiday traffic as I remember it in the 70s. No one had air conditioning in the car. Slow-moving caravans could therefore make anyone and everyone see red in the summer heat, because there was a long way between safe overtaking hatches.

Think how much safer today's E6 has become! - the cars too.

As I hurtle away on autopilot at 110 I think about how much more entertaining driving was in the old days.

The good fortune was to know about a small stretch behind the bend, where it was possible to overtake - only if you had made the necessary preparations - set up an extra good distance to the train in front, downshifted and built up overtaking speed. So when the road opened up, you were faced with one of two choices - full braking and go in or "two inners and get rid of me" 😀

Stylish down to the last detail

Many people have done "a lot of strange things" with PVs over the years - but really they are best in their original condition. Nice with Volvo's wide rims then!

A few decades ago, they were seen everywhere. Today, they are almost gone - and a very welcome addition to matches like this.

Over 30 years old, but looks like a car that could have been built today

70s nostalgia. Volkswagen T2 Westafalia Camper and Volkswagen 1302 S.

Saab 96 long nose 1965-1966. They were solid cars. Next to a completely polished 1972 Datsun 1400 with only 40000 km on the odometer.

One of the most beautiful Americans ever built (in my own humble mind) is this 1963-1964 Buick Riviera.

Opel Kadett B parked next to great, classic Americans.

Who needs airbags when you are strong in faith?
