Anyway, you don't have the distances to drive like we have ine Europe. Just got back from my final trip with my old V8 M5 which with stop overs in Southern Sweden took me to Stockholm and back within 6 days. A total of 1,800km each way. Kind of interesting to see South Sweden right now, after a hurricane clipped the forests in a big way last winter, you have tourists all over to make pics of the lying down and missing forests in a big way. The perfect illustration of a windfall loss (not profit), where timber prices hit new lows. People were out of electricity and phones, thus heat as well for weeks at temperatures way below zero. With no burglar alarms working in summer home areas looting was extensive. Taro
