Wheels Nationals Classic MotorMeet 2017 Haparanda | Sweden

Last weekend was held Wheels Nationals Classic MotorMeet 2017 in Haparanda, Sweden. This year it was first time 3 days event. On Thursday the theme was Euro cars and rest of the days all kind of vintage and classic cars.

The event was success. Total about 1100 cars and 10,000 visitors. Good numbers for the small place like Haparanda.

Here is my video where you can see some of the best cars in the event. Enjoy!

So much more cars than last year. Great event!

Funny pedestrian traffic signs

Haparanda, Sweden. This time something totally different. What would you think if you see this kind of pedestrian traffic sign?

In fact this is in use in Haparanda City in North Sweden. Not alone, but under the real pedestrian traffic sign like this.

There are in use also few other funny pedestrian traffic signs around the city.

I like the idea. Humor can be used also to improve road safety.

Snowmobiling on water

I wrote earlier about Haparanda Classic MotorMeet. There was also something special program in the same event. Guys rode snowmobiles on water.

Place:  Haparanda river side, Sweden
Date:   15th of July, 2016

Two riders and two snowmobiles.

"Wheelie".

Riding looks so fun and easy, but is it easy?

Sightseeing on the front of Haparanda camping area.

Revs up and go!

Fast cornering.

Nice one.

This will happen, when play long enough. Rider is in the river and snowmobile under water. Steam is still coming from snowmobile under water.

Jetski picks up rider from the river.

Snowmobiling on water looks cool. Would be interesting to try even swimming would be more than possible.

Haparanda Classic MotorMeet 2016 in Sweden

Haparanda, Sweden. This weekend was held traditional Haparanda Classic MotorMeet. The event has been already many times in Haparanda, but for me this was first time.

Event: Haparanda Classic MotorMeet 2016
Venue: Haparanda river side, Sweden
Date: 15th of July, 2016

The event started on Friday 11AM local time. I came about 11:30AM and there was not so many cars yet. Anyway it didn't take long time when the field was already full of  cars.

One of my favorite in the event was this beautiful 1934 Ford. Color was just perfect for this car.

Ford Mustang, but not the basic Mustang. This is 1967 Shelby GT500 SuperSnake.

Specs.

This 1957 Chevrolet Pickup looks great.

Lowrider.

Kenworth trucks are not so common in Europe, but there is something cool.

 Combination ready for trip.

This was something very special. I have never seen Excalibur before.

Lot of interesting details.

With the roof on.

Ford Thunderbird.

Low Cadillac Coupe Deville.

Nice Buick.

Picknic with Chevy.

1958 Chevrolet Impala.

Classy Oldsmobile.

Close-up of the same Oldsmobile.

Very cool 1940 Ford.

Customized 1950 Chevrolet Fleetline.

This Buick looks perfect in this kind of color combination.

1937 Buick Special Business Coupe. This same car was also last summer in Tornio Traditional Motor Event.

Even most of the car were old American classics there were also European cars. This is old Volvo Duett. What is special in this Volvo it´s heavily modified and it´s registered to tractor. This means driver can be only 16 years old.

This was also something special and new for me. 1936 Volvo TR701. Never seen this kind of Volvo before.

Something small from Italy. Fiat 600.

VW Beetle Turbo Cabriolet. Look at the plate: TOPLEZ

Haparanda Classic MotorMeet was great event. Also weather was very nice on Friday, so it was nice to be outside and watch beautiful old classics.
