Unwanted visitors in the garden

Two weeks ago we had a visitor in the garden of the house that we rent out. The driver came from Løken and somehow managed to come very close to the trash stand, I guess he touched it the the mirror of car. You can see a crack and that the tiles have been moved. Then jumped on to the lawn and rolled over, broken glass on the lawn as well.

The article from the newspaper the day after can be read here at Indre.no

Golf 1.2 TSI 85hp as rental car

When up north I had a brand new Golf 1.2 TSI with 85hp as a rental car. Did not bother to take a picture of the car itself, everyone knows a Golf, but I was a bit impressed when it came to fuel consumption. 4.9 driving from Mosjøen to Hemnesberget. I did actually manage to get down to 4.7 as well. The car was no fun to drive at all, passing other cars was not easy, but when driving up steep hills such as Bustneslia and Sjonfjellet, driving all the way in fifth gear was no problem. I found that quite impressing since it has only 85hp.
