Sweden: From Stockholm to Kungälv
The weather report predicted for today's route a lot of rain, but 20 km/12 miles after a wet departure in Stockholm the rain stopped and after we drove the rest of our tour in dry conditions, sometime even the sun came out.
This morning we met Delorean owner Ints and his friend Armand from Latvia who arrived by overnight ferry. The two joined us for one and a half day on the tour and left on Monday halfway towards Latvia ferry, so there were now four DeLorean in the team.
First stop of the day was a photo shoot at the Scania truck plant in Södertälje, about 30 km / 20 miles outside Stockholm.
Once in Kungälv (near Gothenburg) Eva and Reine Gahnström from the Swedish Delorean Club already waiting for us, Andre and Ints know the two already of several DeLorean-meetings. After a short technical check of our World Tour cars we went to dinner.
Before we later got back to the hotel, we fulfilled the wish of a serious Back-To-The-Future fan to sit in a Delorean once ...

Sweden: From Sundsvall to Stockholm
On the about 380 km/240 miles to our day's destination Stockholm the sun shined and the time went by quickly. The DeLoreans running like a clockwork. According to the low speed limits in Scandinavia (max. 110 kmh/ 70 mph) our fuel consumption is 10 liters on 100 km (23,5 mpg.)
Due to the early arrival we still had the opportunity to make a tour around Stockholms City.
As accommodation we took the Längholmen Hostel, a former prison that has been converted into a hotel. Of course, the World Tour team had a lot of fun ...

Sweden: From Lulea to Sundsvall
Day number 8 of the tour took us quite unspectacular around 550 km/350 miles over Swedish roads and motorways to the port city of Sundsvall ...
... and always interrupted by photo shootings and delicious coffee from the G280-kitchen.
On our way we saw a lot of moose warning signs and countless speed cameras but unlike in Germany they were announced. So far, we were lucky and got no speed ticket.
While driving through the town Umea we received an email from Micke Liljeholm, a local Delorean owner who wanted to make an interview with us for his motor blog . As flexible as we are, we waited on a rest area and fulfilled his wish.
