On Saturday, cars and motorbikes were celebrated at Årnes. There were vintage cars, supercars, fire engines and motorbikes on display and in free expression. Cars are not just evil. They have been a part of people's lives for many years and for many a nice hobby. Cars can also be culture.
From the train window I could already see beautiful old cars heading towards Årnes. From the station you stepped straight into a world of traffic and cars that could have been taken from the 1960s – a time when cars had a more dominant place in the cityscape. Back then you could both hear and smell the traffic – and the cars, they came in many colors.
Now it should be said that Årnes is not a car-unfriendly place. There are plenty of parking options here. People need a car to get around, for example to the nearest train station. Many people are also doing like me this Saturday – they are taking the train.
One of the things I like about events like this is that it's not just show cars and cars associated with car clubs that are on display. I occasionally catch a glimpse of nice old vehicles when I'm driving around Nes, but they're usually parked in private garages and yards. When the owners bring their cars to Motordilla, everyone can take a closer look. Several of the cars have local history.
