Volvo buys Scandie racing team. Volvo + race/rally knowhow + two engines = fun and/or early death.

I saw that someone was selling a Concorde engine, complete with afterburner and for some reason remembered this thread.

Not Sweden, but their neighbours. The most Norwegian thing ever as it involves a Tesla* and a floating sauna**.

*unlike certain other oil producing countries Norway is awash in Teslae and other electric vehicles.
** yes, I know saunae are Finnish. It's a Scanner thing.***
*** yes, I know Finland isn't in Scandinavia.
