As mentioned the other night, I was up in northern Sweden for a few hours over the weekend, a town called Skellefteå, just over 1,000kms from Trollhattan. I was there with a couple of friends, Rune and Anna. We drove up there on Sunday and drove back on Monday.
The reason? Well, it all started back in the Swedish winter with an icy road, a bend, and a telegraph pole…..
This photo was taken in the dark with a cell phone, so it’s a little blurry, but here’s a look at some of the damage. This sort of damage isn’t something you could repair overnight, but it’s not impossible. Usually googling ‘auto repair shop Lynchburg‘ or something similar could help you find reliable mechanics. For our car, the work needed was extensive, so it took some time.
After the repair was complete, the first opportunity to pick up the car was last weekend. I came along to share the driving responsibilities so this story is part vehicle comparison, part road trip, and part lessons learned (more on that later).
