It looks like this is a nice forum, but I obviously don't understand anything, you guys speak Swedish and English frequently.

A couple of questions, just wondering, are there lots of f-bodies overthere? is it difficult to keep up with these cars since life is quite expensive in your country (parts, gas, maintenance, etc)?

lots of f-bodies here - not really. there are more Camros than Firebird since GM stopped selling Firebirds here -95. The LS1 WS6 are rare, iŽve only seen a handfull in real life, havnŽt seen another one before i bought mine.

Parts can be expensive since everything has to be ordered from USA, but when comparing with other sportscars not so expensive.

Gas costs more here, but i run my car on E85 and that saves me a couple of bucks.

I have been around for a while, mostly in the conversion section since that is what I am doing on my '69 Z/28.

There are plenty of Swedish lurkers here too.
