Summer Steam Car Projects with Gunnar11/2/2016 *ENGLISH VERSION* After a very busy summer and a somewhat chaotic fall, I shall now try to get started on writing as promised here. It is probably advisable to start with how my interest in steam cars started. As I mentioned earlier, I saw my friend's Locomobile projects remained untouched for years. Once when I visited my friend Helge Karinen he asked me if I knew someone who could take on the job to complete the car, he wanted to move the Locomobile into his museum but it was not in the condition for that. I immediately thought of a relative of mine who is good on vehicles, he are not usually afraid to take on odd projects. So when I got home, I called him up and asked if he was interested in the project. As I suspected, he accepted the challenge and I went down to Sparreholm and brought home the Locomobile, a pretty journey of 550 km single path.

Sommar ånga bilprojekt med Gunnar11/1/2016 Efter en ytterst hektisk sommar och en smått kaotisk höst skall jag nu försöka komma igång med att som utlovat skriva här. Det är nog lämpligt att börja med hur mitt intresse för ångbilar startade. Som jag nämnde tidigare såg jag min väns inköpta Locomobile projekt stå orört i flera års tid. En gång när jag besökte Helge Karinen frågade han mig om jag inte viste någon som skulle kunna åta sig jobbet att färdigställa bilen, han ville gärna ställa in Locomobilen i sitt museum men detta gick inte i det skick den var.
