SWEET 544!
My mechanic is restoring a PV445 which are super rare here.
I gotta say I enjoy driving my XC70 T5 with the turbocharged engine a LOT! ;-)

PV 445 is rare everywhere -it's quite a gem...
Here's a photo - I had to look it up. I can remember seeing the car a few times during my childhood.

Hej, Marlow, from the Life Imitates Art Dept:
This is a print I bought in Oslo...
So, 5 years after I bought this I was north of the Brooks Range in
Alaska when this exact scenario repeated itself! Obviously, I'm here
to tell about it. ;-)

Nansen was multitalented. That's an excellent drawing.
You're a lucky man. Both the owner of the Nansen drawing and nearly eaten by a polar bear. Great luck twice in a lifetime. I guess you've been on a hard work to luck ratio of 50 to 50, while most men are on a 99 to 1 ratio. Maybe that's how life as art unfolds. ^^^^ ... if you work hard...

Johnokner. TFPU! Was it a bit wet?
Lillehammer is a town who has managed to keep a quite sympathetic atmosphere rooted in Norwegian tradition.
Another Norwegian town well kept is Røros, north of Lillehammer.

Most of the Southern part of Norway
On this map you find Røros in the north where the blue lines meet and Oslo in the south (under the red spot Stopp). If you start from Oslo you will find Elverum where the blue line splits into two lines. North-west of Elverum you find Lillehammer and north-west of Lillehammer you find Jotunheimen.
South-east of Elverum you see Kirkenær. In the area east of Kirkenær and up north to Innbygda you find Finnskogen.

That map is crap, it doesn't have Hov on it. Stefaren would be mad!

There's many Hov/Hofs in Norway. Where in Norway do Stefaren live?

He would have argued there is only one Hov, at least on Randsfjorden. ;-)
The family also had the inn at Odnes at the north end.
Are there as many Hovs as there are Å's? (trick question)

Here's a crap map (I can't see Finnskogen ;o)) to make Stefaren happy. You find Hov in the south-east, just west of Gjøvik, by the long great lake Randsfjorden. Randsfjorden is number four among the greatest Norwegian lakes. The greatest Norwegian lake you see a part of east of Randsfjorden - name: Mjøsa. Around Mjøsa you see two towns (red areas) with a name - Gjøvik and Hamar. In the northern end of Mjøsa you find Lillehammer (for some reason without name). You also find Lom in the north-western part of the map.

Motti
The most well-known Forest-Finnish dish is Motti.
This is how motti is made:
1 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of salt is boiled. Then 2 cups of flour is poured into the water. Oat or barley is used as flour for the motti. The flour should cover the surface of the water. The water will boil up in small "volcanoes". While you carefully move the flour into the "volcanoes" you should sing the first verse of «Vår Gud han er så fast en borg» ("Our God is a solid castle"), and then you should stir the water and flour until the flour is forming into small lumps the size of a fingernail. It you stir the water and flour too early, the motti will end up in big wet lumps. If you stir too late the motti will end up in small dry lumps. It’s said that a lazy cook will make good motti, or also that you can go out to the shed and cut pork for the motti while the motti is boiling. The motti is served with fried pork and liquid fat. What's left of the motti is used as a dessert with sour milk and sugar on.
