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

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

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

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. / Johan

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.

Re: Any more Swedes / semiswedes out there ?
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.Quote:
