Say hello to your pal, ( sorry, can't remember his name

)
for me

Yeah - fine, thanks for letting me have this car.
I was kind of excited climbing the mountains regarding the cooling capacity. A lot of cars' engines (tourists with trailers and campers, seen them ?) gets overheated while climbing the Norwegian mountains. No problem for the T/A, the gauge appeared as if riding on the highway. Now I'll check it in the hot summer nights later even at street cruising.
I've been listening to you, Mal, I haven't floored the pedal yet.

Yeah, boys - it's true!! As it was my first trip with the car, I even tried to check the fuel economy for it. I made it a 1,47 liter/10 kilometres. That's a lot better than expected, much better.

I would guess between 2,0 and 2,5 so I'm very satisfied on that. Sorry I don't know how to recalculate for MPG. Probably I won't go that low again... I'm getting more used to the enjoyable sides of the Challenger!

Brought home my Satellite today from winter storage. Christ, what a comfortable car to drive.
Shouldn't sell, had better kept it for driving around at car shows in a comfy car. Must admit the T/A is not for those long road trips at average or poor asphalt... Well whatever I enjoy it. Both!

Roar was kind enough to send me a copy of his club magazine article about his little adventure. I had to laugh at the bit about me feeding them and then taking them out for a little drive.

).

I'm not using my Mac at the moment and I can't read a word of that Norwegian mag...I suppose it's a PC thing...
Lovely matched pair Roar!

Cool!
Thanks for your nice comments, all of you.
And Dave: you make the situation sound like if you can read (AND understand) Norwegian, hehe.

There is
If you can read after (your!) sentense about "I really do not want to send this car back to the States! Please inquire.", it's written about Budgie: "Selgaren var imøtekomande, sympatisk og moparfreak på sin hals. Han sende bilete og dokumenter på e-post på alt eg ba om"
Would you like any translation? Will be your home work until next lesson, hehe.

Sure
It says "Seller was positive, sympathic and mopar freak. He forwarded by e-mail pictures and copies of all documents requested".
Only the best recommendation for the Muscle Car Technology. Sorry I forgot to mention your web site here.

I might not be able to speak or understand the language Roar but when i read it out loud the way it looks to sound it does sound a bit like really strong Geordie dialect.
That's GEORDIE Budgiebird. As in George (Stephenson).
So even though the words are not English I can understand (and laugh about) bits of it such as;
"Han tok oss gladeleg med pa ein sightseeing/raceseeing - det seinere ein e-post fra han som sa at kjell ikkje hadde trengt a halde fast i dashbordet nar han koyrte!"
Is that a slur on my driving Sir!
