Bergrennen 2014

The Bergrennen is now a regular event on the Oldspeed Calendar and last years event was as good as ever, the Oldtimer Oldspeed Club had there own tuning HQ on the mountain this time. 
Last year saw the first female to race up the mountain, not only did she drive like a demon but took some fantastic photo's too, big respect to Solveig....
There was also a guest appearance of a Saab 92B, but after a thrashing on the gravel road leading to OOC HQ the fuel pump became faulty, so it never got a full run at the Mountain.
All the usual suspects were in attendance, with some guests from Sweden, there was once again some big hp racing so the race organisers decided  to make it the closest times from 2 runs to make it a more even playing field. Yet again Danne would take the honours for the OOC, this time running an original Pepco on his 30hp motor.

The mountain nearly killed the little 2 stroke Saab and we managed to limp it back to Oslo with failing brakes, but fear not after some OOC treatment it will be back to assult the mountain....

As always we had a fantastic time and a BIG thank you to all involved in organising and taking part in the Bergrennen and see you all again this year.

Long Hot Summer.....

It's been a long hot summer and although we have all been spending time with our families, we have found time to do many exciting things this year including, The Wiking Auto Rennen, Rättvik Hillclimb, Flugplatz Schmutz Rennen, Barndoor hunting and a trip to one of the most moving scrapyards we have ever visited. In the next weeks we will post reports of our summer adventures......

But to start with, going back to our last post about the VW's running Porsche motors in the Midnight Sun Rally, we were lucky enough to have the privilege of seeing this fantastic Zwitter running a Porsche 1300N motor, Porsche brakes and Midnight Sun Rally plaque.
