Here are the pics from our Finnish Lapland and Northern Norway tour from October 2001 - my friend Janne driving my car "quite" fast, when suddently *WHOP!* Where did that sparrow go?! After an hour, a few feathers near the bonnet scoop got our attention, and what did we find?

ei saa peittää works quite well here. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

It's a bit expensive getting caught speeding in Finland isn't it...and bearing in mind the Scoob is quite easy to get rolling... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Er fuglen død?

Stevencotton, Yeah, the bird must have died right away - since it probably hit partly the right edge of the bonnet scoop at ~80mph'ish - we didn't even notice it flying there at that speed - only reactions were "wow, that bird went really close...", since usually they just bounce up from the airflow... but this was a definite proof that some serious airflow is going through the scoop hole too. :)

Look at the sadistic grin on his face

:D

Hi guys.
Får ej övertäckas working even better over here :D

Speeding not particularly cheep here either :b

BTW is that one of our Norwegian birds?? :(
Take care...
Simen.

Yes, it was an import bird which was then smuggled illegaly to Finland. Sorry about that. :)

We knew that speeding is very expensive in Norway too - and you have to pay your ticket _immediately_, with a credit card... at least if you're a tourist? The chances of running into a police patrol in where we were speeding, however, were one to a million.
(well, you never know when you win :D )

How do they police remote roads in Norway then? I didn't see any speed cameras or anything in the places I've been to (Oslo, Drammen, Bergen & Larvik). Lot of nice birds though, and I'm not talking about the kind you like to murder :)

/How do they police remote roads in Norway then?/
Hi Steve,
They are hiding in the bushes.....
But seriously, if you've been driving Oslo-Drammen-Larvik, you have
had the pleasure of trying what I believe is the most frequently
patrolled road in Norway. Lots of cameras there too, so I'm
imprezad if you didn't see any signs of big brother.

Simen.
