Changed to summer wheels after a 5 month no-light winter season.

Original car with original look except for the custom Nappa leathers.

Summer is nice. Helsinki in summer is nice as well! *sigh* I love the place.. It's soo lovely at night. I was with my mates at the Olympic Stadium listening to Metallica a few years back. We then walked back to bus station at night. I can't believe how tranquil and warm it was.

Gotta love Finland

There has to be some upside to your long dark winters? Otherwise why live so far north?

You got it right, the winters overhere are dark and cold, that cold that no one could survive
with a skirt and no underware.

But in the summertime, you my Scottish friend, are more than welcome to visit and see our lovely country with more than 60.000 lakes, spacious forests and fresh air.

I'm also sure, that you'll find the people friendly and the women pretty.

But bring you shades with you, the sun don't go down at night...
