Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Just cant afford to keep it, i own two motorcycles (both are 50cc mopeds) and i cant afford to insure the 240 on top of the cost of owning two mopeds. (My corvette  moped has been restricted to the stupid laws with veteran vehicles and i can only drive it to and from car shows)

And therefore i had to buy a cheap moped. (Nothing special, just a chinese 50cc Honda grom replica)

 

why do people love 50cc mopeds and motorcycles and scooter things xD

On a more serious note @Strando123 i'd probably have to pay to register it over here and probably pay some kind of import tax. 

Not really worth it. And it isn't an auto so i'm not interested

I just had an interesting call from my insurance company. They lowered my insurance by a bit :D

 

From 14,000 SEK a year, down to 10,800 a year.

900SEK a month is still a pretty penny. But thats nice of them^^

Yeah, i was just joking, that would be expensive as all hell... (plus, the car needs some atention before it would even be road legal so you would have to trailer it back to sweeden... an old Volvo is definitely NOT worth the effort)

Couldn't you get some kind of garage insurance and just park it for a while?

Nope, im under 18 so im very restricted in choices when it comes to insurance. (I thought about transferring the car to my dad and just pay him what it costs him to get garage insurance for the car but the benefit and rebates he has with his current insurance plan wont be aplicable to the 240 leaving us back at square one)

Could always go without insurance too. 

Storing a car over here without insurance costs about 58kr per year

I want to move to sweeden! (If you hand in your plates here you have to pay 20% of the value of your car to get your plates back within two years, after two years it increases to 40% (only once though) and you still need some form of insurance)

They say owning a car in norway is expensive.. But man that is surprising..
