Visit to Finland From US with C-2

[Finnshark]

Amazing trip Jack! I'm flying to Finland on 19th (will be in Helsinki 20th), post your detail schedule here, it would be great to see you live!

You should be good with the weather in Finland at that time, especially in southern parts.

I have the internet for a few hours and though I would catch up on posting pictures. I am in small town outside of Hamburg Germany.

As you may remember, I had noticed a rear wheel noise a few weeks ago.
The car was put on a lift in Paris and no damage was found, but the noise was still there. On to the Netherlands and an invite to a NCRS.NL chapter barn find show at Rob Muskquetier's workshop just north of Amsterdam in Akersloot.

I got to meet many Dutch corvette owners and we also put my car on a lift and checked again for the rear wheel noise.

Here are some pictures of the countryside from Amsterdam to Akersloot.

Looking for the reason for clicking and clanging and 63 SWC project car.

We did not find a direct reason for noise yet. More to come later.

Not too many days for beautiful city of Stockholm..

If we have decent wheather when you arrive here in Helsinki I will meet you at harbour with my vette.

Groovy / others : any plans for showing Helsinki for Jack yet ??

I'll be on holiday Wednesday to Sunday and planning to meet you either in Helsinki or if you'll make it to Tampere area. Bed and breakfast also available if needed.

We'll have to get you by a lake/see and heat up a sauna and have few beers. Weather should not be too cold and we still have some Corvettes that are not stored for the winter.

Have you guys in Helsinki planned something joined already?

Hello to all,

I would like to plan my visit to Finland and need your help so I can see and visit as many Corvette lovers as possible.

Here is a plan I have in mind your advice is welcome

Oct 20 I try to get from Stockholm to Turku. or directly to Helsinki. I want to take the ferry . What do you think , which city if possible

I want to go to Helsinki, Tampere and possible further north. Weather permitting.

I must be on the road to Oslo so I can drop car off in Oslo by the 25th of October.

I have offers of places to stay but would like to have you all look at the best way for me to cover the long distances in a logical way.

I have 4 days to meet as many Finns as possible. Can someone on this forum look at the map, and help coordinate some gathering or parties that I can attend and will give me a chance to meet many of the screen names in person.

Thanks for your help

Jack

I would say that taking the ferry over night would be the best choise. You would be moving along whole sleeping. Either Turku or Helsinki shall be ok. Or one one way and other on the way back if not northern route.

Next weekend should be ok even up to Oulu or Tornio level (with the current info).

I'll make few calls in the morning and we'll do some planning and suggestion to you tomorrow.

Would leaving Stockholm on the 19th in the evening be the most likely option?

You'll need one full day to drive from Stockholm to Oslo. So morning of the 24th in Stockholm (or Umeå) the latest.
