Default Haukeli - A8 - on my way from Bergen to Grimstad

I drove from Bergen to Grimstad, to my parents house the other day, and I shot some pics on the way. Still snow in the Norwegian mountains even though it is 25+ degrees celcius on the way up.

What a gorgeous country Norway is! Too bad it's quite expensive to fly&drive over there, as I still have to book a summerholiday and would love to visit Norway..... 8)

Skaala, your pictures are excellent! 8) Those pictures really give a feeling of being there, and your A8 looks reeally nice.

The wheels you have, are they part of a sport package, they don't seem to be the standard wheels if I remeber correctly (at least in USA), they really make the A8 look good!

Actually I planned on going to Bergen! A friends nephew lives over there with his Norwegian wife and owns a sports-store. But I think it's gonna be next year. :cry:

The guy who owned the car before us ordered sport suspention and '18 inch alloys instead of the regular '19 or '20's..... I personally like the '20 better because it's such a big car, but they cost about 10.000 dollars in Norway
