Hi Wizard,

Just logged here first time in months! Thanks for asking (surprised anyone noticed I was away, well maybe those guys who got sligthly beaten in the oil company topics still remember me  :bleh:), I've been working very hard since start of December, bought lot of used machinery etc. for getting into a new business sector - these days you have to be bit inventive you know

I'm still here in Germany, last week cancelled all my rental agreements (apartment, garage etc.) so now I've got to wait about 3 months before I can leave to UK, actually I'm going to do the actual moving with my own trucks which also need some finishing before they are ready for use (well, more than just a new layer of paint...). Like everyone, money is tight and especially moving to UK is very expensive... But I heard they have some good beer there, so maybe its worth the investment

Any new things here? I tried to find some photos of naked women, but what a disappointment... 

Wizard, I remember you were once visiting the area close to me - coming again some day when I'm still here?

Cedric

Hey sisu, how about a picture of the real reason for the lack of time and money - a picture of you standing next to your 5 cars, 2 motorcycles, 16 empty beer kegs, and your 30 or so trucks. oh, and your oil scavenging robot.

I can't believe someone was missing me, you guys need a life!

True, I've been wasting a lot of time/money/women on drinking beer - but I can't regret something I can't remember anymore 

In the meantime I made a new very long-term agreement with an oil company - that keeps me hanging from the dirty old oil money and guarantees I can at least pay some bills&beers in the UK.

You asked photos - you get them! Pics of current projects (some missing from here), to prove I'm not a lazy son-of-a-bitch! (Bitch maybe.. but not lazy!)

No-one ever made a crew cab from this model of Sisu-truck, so I wanted to give it a try.. (actually I have two of similar Sisu-projects going on). So far I've cut & welded about 5 miles of profile steel :

 

Another new invention was bullet proof glass and ventilated walls:

 

Spent some money on empty pizza boxes:

 

Rebuilding of my 1974 FBW Swiss-made truck, which I'm converting to a semi-truck. Together with low-loader (to-be-bought) I can hopefully start moving my stuff to the UK...Notice its already right hand drive :

 

I saw the weather conditions in UK from CNN, so I bought one of these, its a 1967 model (I know its too new!)...:

 

Gladly the Dodge's are still drivable and I haven't touched them!:

 

Except this one!:

...And finally the photo of the robot! I will redo the tits, and get her the Jennifer Lopez treatment. I'm sure she'll sell like hot cakes regardless of who's the president!:

 

Cedric

Look, only one man in the photo who's not gay! He must be a foreigner!

This is now my new desktop background...

Aaah - like a good aged vine it is - the Scandinavian socializing culture! Manners and style with good fashion. We have some beerbarges also in Sweden, but we are beaten by far with this Finnish daily driver.

I also found a cruising video from Sweden. The "raggare" from these days are much milder than they used to be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIlTbsQdrsM

No, Sisu - those guys are not "raggare" yet - they're prospects, AKA hang-arounds! They come from a "town" we call Peking here in Sweden and they goe by the name "El Coachy Patates". The next level will be "El Erecto Pommes" - they will get that grade when they actually laid some females in that coach. The still have a loooong way until the we get a vehicle

I watched those video you posted and there are really Kool.
Love the moving sofa. But I dig that 64 Chebby.
Man looks like I got to go to Finland soon. Germany first and after Finland for sure.
With Saku Koivu being the Montreal Canadian kapitan I will feel right at home.
Man, I guess we should meet sometime and do nothing but get wasted for a couple of days.

Robert - mein Führer,
That would be a great plan! Germany as a starting point is perfect, bar every kilometer - beer is good & cheap, sloooowwllly through Germany (we need to stop at every bar), Denmark (thank God only 1h 45 min through trip, the language breaks the ear drums!) and then visit Sven´s castle in his private island. He already told there's a ferry access and many nice (easy) women, all blonds and not too intelligent. But we shouldn't stay there for too long, yesterday Sweden announced gay marriage is legal (no kidding) so we are free prey for the Swedish sailors. So... Wizard joins us and then we drive through Lapland to Finland, never missing a car show or a chance to stop at a nice area where beautiful blonds are showing their tits tp us (who wouldn't do that?).

Finland - the last country in the trip is for cultural experience, its the most sophisticated country in the whole Europe where the most unsophisticated people in the world live. They know how to party, everyone is heterosexual (except the lesbian President) and drinking real beer (no wine or whine for the Finnish tough guys), the women are easy if you aren't drunken (impossible situation). We'll propably visit every Finnish forum member until their families kick us out, then we head back to the first forum member and start the round again:) The trip will last about 20-30 years, until your liver says *BANG*. Better die with smile on the face, surrounded by big tits and high octane fuel

Btw, Saku Koivu survived a cancer so I'm sure he's got a lot of "Sisu" to help you Canadians win! (Check "Sisu" from your dictionary and you'll see he's got loads of that!).

Here's an example of "Finnish Sisu", no need for dictionary - you'll propably understand what it means http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xuv9RVss_Y

EDIT: Jan (FinFury57) has some nice Jukeboxes, a great 57 Plymouth Fury we can trash and a big fridge, propably we stay the first year there.

Yeah man, sounds like a wunderbar plan. I like the beer and girl part. Let me check what I have to do before I take a 20-30 years break.
I hope Wizard is tough enough to follow.......
I get what Sisu means. I found this : http://poski8.tripod.com/SISU/index.html
You're right about Saku, he has lots of Sisu in him. Finland looks a lot like Quebec. We also have something in common: gorgeous women !!!!!

We can always make a practice round in Quebec or Montreal - but my French is quite limited... Actually my German is also limited but I still haven't had problems getting close to the opposite sex Sometimes even inside, LOL!

Btw, some weeks ago I met a Canadian girl in the local bar, no kidding! Nothing happened, which is good because she looked more like Romanian wrestler I'm sure she was extradited from Canada because she didn't meet the max weight specification.

I didn't know that you where into agricultural work Sisu, the soil looks the same as in Sweden and the cheery language helps also our farmers.
I hear that you ask for God's help - you shouldn't look how he kept that piece of land before you arrived! (You also ask the fellow below for help but he couldn't care less)

I have a feeling Wizard understands Finnish language perfectly, actually I have a question - do you have equivalent curse words for "perkele, "saatana", "jumalauta", "voivittujumalautasaatanaperkele" in Sweden? Btw, start packing - we're soon showing up in your island bar with Catman!

Catman, that's a Bauer hockey stick - I always had Montreal Hockey sticks when I was young (but a lousy "lefty" player). Oh, now I realize there's also a beautiful girl...! We call her when I'm at Montreal Airport and we're heading to first billiard bar! She can have my balls any time

Voivittujumalautasaatanaperkele was what I yelled when I found out about the chocolate train law, well not in Finnish but in Swedish!
