Any more Swedes / semiswedes out there ?
 

Probably wrong forum, but I thought I´d try anyway.

We do have a forum like this in Sweden. Sucks big time. Since the British and other US forums doesn´t quite have the quality and enthusiasm as this forum IMHO, I naturally turned a Pelicanhead.

Felling a bit off side though over here so just wondering if there are any Pelicans in the US that are originally from Sweden or have ancestors from back here.

Greetings SmileWavy

Sorry, not Swedish.....Risor, Norway. Some relatives still there, but my bunch left Norway about 150 years ago.

Livi,

My ancestors are from Norway, but that's as close as I can admit to.

Hi there Markus,

Well you already know about me, the Norwegian living in Stockholm :)
I know that there are a few other Pelicans here from the Nordic. I have already spoken to a Pelican from Helsinki, and I keep falling over some posts from a Pelican in Norway :D

Maybe we should try to make something more out of the Nordic Pelicans? Maybe try to meet up from time to time??

Well, Im still here. Trying to get my car started...

Where in Sweden are you Magnus?

Well maybe we can have a T shirt like the wave thing but more of a Hells Angels model, two semi circles:

Pelican Heads
Scandinavia :D

I've owned 7 Saabs over the years (2 now) - does that count?

Wavey,

I see you carry the DANSK muffler parts too, so yes I guess you would qualify as a Hang Around !:D

I'm still here!

I was just home on vacation for two weeks, and I couldn't help noticing a ton more 928s than 911s on the streets of Stockholm.

Am mostly Danish, family is from Soburg and I used to live in Roskilde...

My ancestors are from Sweden and my daily driver is a Volvo...

Kroggers: Im in Kalmar.

So Magnus, you are another Swedish Pelican in the South!!

Are there any other Pelicans in or close to Stockholm, or is it only me here :(

My name came to England and then Ireland with the Norman invasion. Weren't they a bunch of Swedes really?

What is up with the modern Nordics anyway? They seem to have given up on all that raping and pillaging..

gaijindabe,

The former fearful Nordic men has been subdued to mellow house tigers. I blame it on over 50 odd years of socialistic government ruling with the poor Royal family ripped of all power and perhaps a smidgen of womens lib..

BTW we do all our raping and pillaging in the Mediterranean nowadays. ;)

Hmmmmm, raping and pillaging http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/2ar15.gif http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/kwijl.gif

Indeed :cool:

My dad's family emigrated in the mid-1800's from Smaland. Still have family on Oland. I was an exchange student in high school to a small town in Skane and visited some of them (my father's mother's mother's father's sister's grandchildren :) ) during a school vacation.

Hello.
I live in sweden,västerås.

Does a Swedish ex-wife count?

I've got to move this thread out of the Tech Forum, in spite of the fact that my father is half Swedish (and half Norwegian), and in spite of the fact that my wife and I went to Stockholm for Christmas last year.

Here's a picture of us at the "Rat Pack Christmas" show at our hotel. I'd just made a trip to the Herring table, where one of the waiters was unable to keep himself from laughing out loud at my utter inability to serve myself in a way that even vaguely resepmbled an actual Swede. ;)

So I deduct that age is applicable - but not origin - in the Tech Forum ???

Jack, you traitor of the fatherland...;)

Hehe...Swedish X-mas table...did you taste all those funny saussages and "schaps"? :)

BTW, I'm a Swede and live in Uppsala, 50 miles north of Stockholm. If there are any Pelicanites visiting Stockholm or surroundings, feel free to drop me a note...it would be fun to have a beer or such ;)

Jack,

Do not feel bad, its something you were either brought up with or it just does not happen.

Eating Herring is an art in many cases but it can be assisted by several shots of Aquivit. Store it in the freezer and bring it out at EVERY meal. You see, the fish need something to swim in while going down and the Aquivit helps them in this journey.

Kippered Herring is also good if you have some friends/co-workers who bother you. Just open the tin and start eating it around them. You will be amazed how fast they find something else to do or another place in the world to visit. Just do not tell them about the Aquivit... :)

So far I count 10 members and 5 hang arounds.

Pelican Heads / Scandinavia is truly an exclusive club !

I've spent my last 4 summer vacations in Sweden. Last year and this year on Øland. What a wonderful place!

Hej Som.

Not Swede but spent alot of time in Stockholm and Gothenborg when i was working with Digital Illusions. I have spent both Mid-Summer and Mid-Winter there, the former is *MUCH* better.

Lovely people, great culture, superb food. Would not mind being Swede.

Right. Counting 11/6. If we reach a full 20 I can get a discount with the T-shirt guy. :D

I live in the city Kalmar, just by the Olands bridge, so from work I see Oland every day, its just a few miles.
This is a picture from my desk, it´s a very misty day in the picture so you can´t see Oland but otherwise, like today, its a great view.

I wondered if you were Scandinavian with that name. :)

Hay beepbeep, I am in Stockholm.... Will have my car in Sweden by mid September - how about a beer when I get back??

Markus, I am in for a T-shirt. The club is a go :D

Welcome guys! Actually I'm not Swedish but Finnish. However, I speak Swedish tough.
We have here "Nordic P-car Gruppe" with Mikko (Pelican-head also) at the moment recruiting some Catalans to join.

But honestly drop me a line/PM if some of you guys are coming here so I can organize some pillaging. :)

Claro, hombre ! :D

I'm in!

Just send me a PM. I work 9-17 but weekends are free ;)

Don't we all have to work 9 - 17 :) Looks like a P-car and Beer Saturday some time mid September!!

Hay, I have just had a look at your Web Pages, man that is a cool project. Look's like I have found my local Pelican P-car buddy for some assistance ;)

Pål,

You do the valves your self on your Porsche ?
