This is where all that raw power comes into its own, the chassis twisting as thousands of horsepower is pushed through the rubber propelling the cars forward to cover a quarter mile in as little as 6 seconds.

The strip at the Mälardalen Open.

We went to the Drag Racing event at Eskiltuna Flygplats.

The bridge between Hornstull and Liljeholmen was looking quite sinister.

…bad things will happen. Smaklust.

There were some animals at Smaklust.

Smaklust is all about the food. With many samples to try and buy if you like there were tastes from all over Sweden.

We went to the Smaklust Swedish food festival in Hornstull. The place was full of the wonderful smells of the best food from across the country, with each county being represented in an area of the festival.

There was a parade of winners at the end of the Barkarby Classic Car Show.

Futurliner #8 was on show, having recently arrived in Sweden for a ten year resoration project. Originally used as part of the Parade of Progress there were 12 of these futuristic buses made and driven across America during the 40s and 50s showing off developments being made in auto engineering.
