Pick a special day and just do it ... Obviously, it helps not to have the Atlantic Ocean between you and Sweden :) > The pics show no other people at the museum...were you the only one there at > the time? Are there really that few Saab fans? I'm guessing that > Trollhattan isn't a mecca for hordes of direction-enquiring, camera-toting > tourists. It's not especially a tourist town, since there are much nicer settlements around lake V”nern. It's more of a business town, promoting itself as a good place for conferences and the like. The locks and a stroll up the G–ta canal make a pleasant afternoon and we were lucky enough to be there for market day, but otherwise, there's not much to do. The road into the town makes for light amusement - there's a road sign pointing left to Volvo, right for SAAB and straight on for the town centre :) Like good SAAB fans, we were there early and first in, whereupon I got carried away and ran around the place photographing everything :) We spent about 4 hours there, but a couple of hours would still give to chance to look at everything in good detail. That summer was especially hot, with temperatures hitting highs of around 30 degC, so we found the place idyllic, although from talking to the hotel staff, it's quite a rainy place really. Great trip and well worth visiting some of the other towns and cities across that part of the world - we also visited Stockholm (which we've been back to since, last summer) and Oslo. I'd love to have had a little more time to visit some of the smaller towns that we passed through on our travels. Anyway ... Back to SAABs ... There's the annual SAAB festival coming up: <http://www.saabfestival.se/english/index_en.htm> Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
