This represents everyday life here in Scandinavia. Unformal ice races are common through the winter, but the spring ice may be treacherous. Usually it's a Volvo 740 that will be sacrificed to the Winter Gods, but there's always the occasional BMW.
My heritage is Swedish and I grew up in Minnesota then moved to sunny California after college on to even sunnier Arizona after that. Snow and ice and the related ice racing and ice fishing are part of why I left Minnesota. And what was I saying in the Missing Person thread about hanging out with guys being more fun?! Not for this poor Beemer.
I came home and all the doors and windows are open! Everything is gone! What kind of low life does that to your advent calendar?
Was out on the bike today, nearly got knocked off by a council salt lorry ..... "You fuckin Arsehole ! " - I shouted through gritted teeth.
