luigi bertolotti Posted March 30, 2010 Share #4022 Posted March 30, 2010 No, it is not Gothenburg nor Torslanda. (Funny: I had a picture of that plant that I thought of using here). I don't think its Ghent in Belgium (where my old V40 came from...)... or is it ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted March 30, 2010 Share #4023 Posted March 30, 2010 I don't think its Ghent in Belgium (where my old V40 came from...)... or is it ? No, but the other city was closer.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted March 30, 2010 Share #4024 Posted March 30, 2010 No, but the other city was closer.... Going to bed... ... many Italians know about the Uddevalla facility, who was managed together with Pininfarina... but I think it made only the cabrios, and do not think Jaap took such a car...

jaapv Posted March 31, 2010 Share #4025 Posted March 31, 2010 Oh no Luigi - it was the 745 Turbo without Kat, which pumped out 60 Kw more than the measly 155kW of the standard ones All other 740 series were indeed built in Belgium. So not Gothenburg then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockholm? -------------- Frans Frans, Stockholm is indeed correct! But since you are such a globetrotter, Frans, you have to tell me; 'where in Stockholm?' From which hotel is the picture taken?

vertekijker Posted April 5, 2010 Share #4036 Posted April 5, 2010 Last time I was in Stockholm was thirty years ago... I'll see what Google Images can do... ------------------ Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertekijker Posted April 5, 2010 Share #4037 Posted April 5, 2010 When I studied your photo more closely, I noticed a church spire on the left. I googled and found some pictures of a similar looking church in Stockholm - the 'Tyska Kyrka' or German Church. I then noticed that this is in the old part of town - the 'Gamla Stan'. How am I doing so far? Assuming all this is correct, I googled for hotels in that neighborhood and came up with a location that could give that view of the church: Hotel Sven Vintappare. Other possible candidates would be Vandrarhem Archipelago Hostel and the Rica Hotel. What do you think? If you asked me a similar question about my home town in Belgium, I would have trouble identifying a view from a hotel. A lot of fun playing this game. ----------------- Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted April 5, 2010 Share #4038 Posted April 5, 2010 Frans, You are a good observer! (Do you work for the CIA, or something?). Stockholm is an old Hansa city. Gamla Stan, Stockholms Old City, is very typical as such. The hotel was First Hotel Reisen (3). They have these nice rooms with a small veranda with a view over the Old City roofs (1). From the breakfast restaurant there is a nice view over the old harbour (2). ...and a picture of - well part of, the Volvo plant at Torslanda, Gothenburg. Your turn, Frans! Welcome, dear visitor!

vertekijker Posted April 5, 2010 Share #4039 Posted April 5, 2010 No I don't work for the CIA, but I'm starting to think that I should consider applying for a position. I got the part of the town right, but not the hotel - very generous of you to give me the credit anyway. I'll go through my archives looking for something new. ------------------ Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
