North Norway November trip

[martin]

Hi

My NSX should be in the garage waiting for summer. But the last two weekends have been very good weatherwise.

Last weekend I did 400 miles and took no pictures. This weekend I also did 400 miles and took some pictures.

Me and Jon (Midnight Sun Express) met up at "Tjeldsund brua" (Tjeldsund Bridge).

There are one more NSX in north of Norway, but 2/3 of the NSX in North of Norway in one place is not bad

Here is a picture of Jon's car as he comes over the bridge

Here we are ready to drive to "Sortland" about 65 miles. Gheba if you are there..please look away the car is dirty I know. I got some rain when I set out from Narvik

You can see Jon and his son in the background

Roadpicture a little bit out of focus.

This is where Steven Spielberg clouds hang out when they are not "at work"

It is Jon in front there..

Over the bridge to Sortland. I am not sure what the chain of mountains are called..maybe Jon knows. But as you can see the weather was nice

Light was fading but we took some pictures along the road. All the other pictures I took was really out of focus for some reason. This is the best..

We drove home to Jon's and then after looking at some video of the trip I drove home in the dark. Today it was too cold to drive anywhere. The roads outside Narvik was iced and not nice.

I stayed in Narvik, washed the car and cleaned the inside. Took some pictures for fun. Turned out okey I think

I have much to learn about taking pictures. I have a Canon Powershot S40 with a lot of buttons and stuff.. On these shots I just turned off the flash and clicked away. I could probably have done better if I only knew how..

 

[martin]

This ain't bad, but I should have moved the concrete thingi in the background thoug

Last one for now.. Who knows when I get the chance to drive the NSX again.

I have no time during the week to drive the car. Therefor I have to be extremely lucky to have the weekend off _and_ nice weather at this time of the year.

I hope I will get more weekends like last weekend and this weekend during winter.

I will put on the summer wheels again in late april/early may.

I hope the pictures were enjoyable.

Wow, NICE!

I also never saw the silver with theoriginal wheels!

The last photos with the clean car saved you from my terrible wrath! I was upset seeing the car dirty!!!

The chain of mountains refferred to, is the northern rim of the famous Lofoten Islands.
Great trip, by the way. The roads do not get completely dry during the day, thats why our cars became extremely dirty.
Supercars like this is very rare in this area. Some Porches, some Supras, GT3000/Dodge Stealth etc. and the usual Corvettes.
One NSX get quite a lot of attention, two nearly quadruples that effect....

Hi

Relax it is only dirty at most 2 hours before I am home and can wash it again

why did you put the original wheels on that car? tragic... the 94+ looks SOOOO Much better..

It is the winter tyres for both of us. Condition allowed for "non-winter" last weekend, but for everyday driving there are possibilities for ice in some parts. Besides, we are expecting the snow to come permanently every day now. The snow stays until mid-April so the NSX will be put away for a few months soon.
