Some photograph from euro roadtrip **56K warning**
hey guys
this summer i went on road trip to euro mainland from the coldest darkest part of northern sweden.
it was great fun driving from the artic circle to the E.U capital Brussels (belgium)
i did approx 6500km incl return trip in a week, driving through whole of sweden and denmark, arriving in germany and driving on the famous autobahn heading towards brussels via holland it was an amazing trip.
here are some the photos....
reindeers blocking my road in north of sweden

empty roads in sweden(hardly anybody lives up here) time to go fast...
[IMG]

nice roads....
[IMG]
[/IMG]
bridge to denmark..
[IMG]
[/IMG]
finally germany..

and the autobahn

berlin beautiful city have to come back to see around more...
[IMG]
[/IMG]
berlin rickshaw...pretty cool...and notice how bright and sunny it is it was 33C i was melting in the heat....
berlin wall on back of a rickshaw....
entering belgium... speed restrictions (it gets very hard to drive 120 when u have been averaging 170-180km/h)
[IMG]
[/IMG]
straight road to brussels (very tempting to drive fast but, the police in belgium are very strict)
[IMG]
[/IMG]
nice car wish i could afford one of those too...
[IMG]
[/IMG]
finally in belgium...
[IMG]
[/IMG]
crowded...
it was an amazing drive and my car was great it was comfortable for such a long distance drive i could not have asked more from it i loved it , honda builts the best 4cyl engines in the world...
it was very stable at 190 km/h with a lot of luggage and two bicycles at the back (not very intelligent of me) i could have gone more faster but was afraid of the bicycles falling off...
my ride honda accord 2004....or acura tsx depends where u live .... no mods everything stock...
[IMG]
[/IMG]
my car on a winter morning....

The last pics shows something you'll rarely see in the US - very few folks who drive in the northern climes ever bother to change out the all-seasons for proper winter tires. 
That shot of downtown Brussels looks awfully familiar.

Awesome pics!!! 
I'm planning on going to Europe next summer for a couple months. I doubt I'll be able to afford to rent a TSX... probably end up with a VW Polo, if even.

nokian makes tyres and nokia makes mobile phones they are same co.
they also make a whole lot of other things as well like, TV satllite recievers and etc...
btw nokia is a village in finland and and i think the nokia co.is located in espoo (city in finland)...
but as i said they make a lot of things over here in scandinavia that may not be available everywhere.
yeah nokia is one of very oldest co. to start in scandinavia it is only recentlythey took up manufacturing of mobile phones...
