American asking dumb questions - gs6-37 or gs6-53 or ZF?

Hey guys, I know I am not asking questions here how you are usually used to it, but I am trying a setup in the US which nobody has really done before.

Re: The Americans invade.

Hi Asher, travel by train is an excellent choice, that should be an enjoyable trip. You don't have much time to spend in Stockholm, and hotels are fairly expensive. It's now 10 years since I moved from Stockholm, and I'm not really updated anymore, but there is some more affordable accomodation ava...

Re: The Americans invade.

I am probably going to stay with travel by train as it seems to be the most solid and cost effective method (I have some extra money to spend to go on this trip, my I am by no means rich). Thanks for the information about the taxis though as I am sure I will end up needing one at one time or another...

rvolvor (Asher) from the US

Alright guys, I have decided to post up a little intro since I have had an account here since 2011 and have not made any posts. I am also coming to Europe in the summer, so this place might be a resource for me. I am a Volvo guy, but appreciate and have worked on a lot of fast cars (American, Europe...

The Americans invade.

Hey guys, I have been poking around your forum for a bit now to get some inspiration and ideas for projects of my own. I have built some rather basic Volvo 240s compared to what a lot of you guys do, but rather fast for what we are used to in the US. I am currently a technician (mechanic) at one of ...
