Yeah, I’m proud to have what’s probably one of the top (or bottom) 5 smallest engines in Europe. Can you go at 5000rpm and still keep speed within legal limits in your car? It’s almost 13 years old but only 130.000km, so I expect to have it around for some more years, especially after it having survived here in Umea for two years (including the coldest winter in 40 years). Oh yes, it also has a little white sticker on the side :) Let’s just say it’s easier to spot in a parking lot.

I was in Stockholm last weekend and had to park in an underground parking lot that was completely empty, except for this worn out, broken down Volvo p1800. I snapped some pics and threw on some retro flare to them.

This week our TD2 class was out in Göteborg getting a taste of Sweden’s automotive industry visiting some assembly plants, design studios and museums. Today, Sweden’s Saab brand is dead. It’s only fitting to post some of the pics from the Saab museum in Trollhättan. Also, that Aero X still looks great.

Yongbang Ho and I entered the Designboom / Nissan “Think Outside the Parking Box” design competition. I’m proud to say that out of 3059 designers from 96 different countries that participated, we won second place. Yesterday evening they posted the results which means we can start posting it as well. It was fun playing part city planner and part architect and coming up with something totally different. To see the results, check out the coverage on Designboom.com
