One for TommyDP

Ah, great! Thanks, Chris! Places like this are really exciting and I agree, it's sad in some way. Sadly, there are few of these places left. I used to enjoy going to breakers, but no more:-) Cars are crushed almost the moment they arrive, and by the way the cars arriving there these days don't interest me:-)

There used to be quite many "graveyards" like this in Sweden. Compared to Norway, there were lots of cars in Sweden in the 40s, 50s, 60s. Norway was really a poor, messy country after WW2 and there were few cars here. The Swedes were "neutral" during the war and were not that affected economically Actually you needed a license to buy a car in Norway until 1961, so until then at least, very few had a car. If they could buy a car it would be some east block car, due to some trade agreement with USSR, fish traded for cars! Otherwise there were prewar cars and quite a lot of cars put together by leftovers from the Germans.

My grandmother was Swedish and dad says going to Sweden in the 50s was like coming to another world in terms of all the cars, even lots of american cars owned by ordinairy people, modern stuff like plastic ,which they had never seen here, toys, clothes etc..

Anyway, that's before we discovered the oil, which the Swedes envy us massively:-) There is some kind of "friendly hostility" between our countries...

Thanks again, Chris! A great video:-)

Regards, Tommy!
