Didn't find a thread for random pics (I might be blind) so I started my own topic. Some photos from past couple of years.

I was right, you're a fin. :p

I really like that catamaran, by the way.
 
Finnish folk race is world famous, for some reason. :lol:

You mean this one?

M/F Pielinen, forerly known as Holger Stjern from Trondheim, Norway.;)
 
That's very interesting, my last name, I won't disclose it, but let's just say it's the same as an island, and together with that island, my father and a car ferry, it's only used as a name brand cream in another Europan country. Said ferry spent its early life on Mj?sa, which is a lake, I'm guessing it's at least 300 kilometers from the Ocean. Chopped her to pieces, moved here by train and reasembeled her here.

Seems fitting.
 
So, what happened to the beetle!? or the driver for that matter.

Nice thread BTW
 
I don't remember accurately, Beetle might have flipped on it's side or maybe it was able to continue race normally. No one was hurt, don't worry.

A few additional pics from that local folk race event, since there were some interested people on the forum. All photos taken last August or September in my home town, Nurmes. Lots of pictures, hope you don't mind.

The dog didn't even try to escape from its prison. It is either dumb or very smart staying in it's own place.

My friend's gardening device. There seems to be no need for tractor when you have 4WD-Passat. ;)
