14.1.2019 – Day 7: Norwegian people just LOVE Subaru !!! I was taking pictures at ocean and a older man stopped to look and talked to me. He liked and was happy about STI. Even better was when i was driving slowly and approaching bus stop that had about 20 young kids… When they saw STI approaching they all started to yell and gave “DRIVE HARD” signs…. so i shifted down and put the hammer down accelerating past the kids as they were all yelling… ❤ I love these people 😀

Hello to you all…

13.1.2019 – Day 6: Today was not about drving, but about Snowshoe Hiking in Fløya mountain; Height: 671 meters above sea level. Was actually funny when bus full of Japanese tourists arrived to mountain parking as i was leaving… When i started my car they pointed fingers and smiled. Happy about Subaru STI being used i think 😀

1st thing in day: Wheel arches were full of ice… Had to use tools to take them out.

Mountains are waiting for me 😀
