Belgian Miniacs goes Sweden

[!nathalie!]

Hello everyone,
First i will introduce me a bit. Well i'm a Belgian female, 33yo who drives a Hyper blue S on the Belgian roads. It's big fun, i know that's why i'm also member of the Miniacs (see www.miniacs.be or www.mini2.be). But now comes the tricky question :-)
In week 29 (17/07-21/7) i will be working in Södertälje and i was wondering if someone of you will show me a bit more of the Swedish country side except the Scania working floor and hotel. Or just show me some nice places. I don't know much in the neighbourhood but i think the nature is wonderfull with those typical Swedish houses.
Or come to pick me up with alot of MINI's at Scania and drive to Stockholm... :)
Yeah i know...now i'm daydreaming :wink:
Well if someone is interested?

That would be very nice.

[Rafael]

Cool!,

We will be glad to show you around!

But it seems that you only will be here in the ordinary jobb week-days.
So i wonder, will you stay over a weekend or something?

[MNS]

Nice to see that you can typ now :D

[!nathalie!]

Yeah, i have my plane on 16/7 at 21h00, so i will arrive in Skavsta at +/-23h00. Normally i will have a hirecar to drive to Södertälje. Next morning i will work a whole week till friday evening 18h00 my plane is going back to Charleroi.
So yes it's only in weekdays, i think after 16h00-16h30.
I still have to ask the swedish working hours.
But i will be delighted to go sighseeing with someone in a MINI in Sweden.

[Rafael]

Our normal working time in sweden is between 8.00 - 17.00, that will 8 h of working and 1 h of lunch.

But there is another working time plans for another jobs, but i think the time i wrote is more normal.

And don´t forget, many people have their vacation now !

[!nathalie!]

Of course i know many people have vacation...that's why i have to work in sweden for a week to release my swedish colleague from too much work. But i want to spend some bad times (working) and good times (sightseeing in a MINI) together in a week.
Wouldn't you be interested in meeting foreign MINI freaks when you have the chance? Well i am.

[Rafael]

I understand you =), And I hope you will find a driver.

I´m sorry but i am not so good att english so i am not a good choise to be a sightseeing driver and at the same time tell about everything we see in english. But i am sure that there is another drivers that will be glad to show you around.

Good Luck from Rafael

Well, i hope you can find a meeting day. I also saw the new tread "events" from KPKalle. Nice to see you're try to make work of it. Otherwise i'll be sitting each evening at the lakeside nearby Södertälje. Staring at the water and sunset on my own.

Hmm i am free 17/7 if i aint misstaken. Ill check tomorrow at work and get back to this tread.

[KPKalle]

Me, I can be free any of those nights that week.

But Natalie, do you want to be driven around Stockholm in a MINI or just be a tourist in the city? Either way it is probably best if you can at least take the train into Stockholm Central. I/we can meet you there :)

[!nathalie!]

Hey,
Last year we had a short city walk in Stockholm city. I was there for a 2 day meeting. So I've already seen a bit of it...nice views and good cafe's.
I can take train to Stockholm...i know parking is expensive :shock: .
I will ask my swedish colleague for some traintimes and maybe come back tommorow.
Or do you know some timeschedules from Södertälje towards Stockholm? You can always send a copy to my personal email nathalie.geusens@skynet.be
Which day do you prefer?
For me it's eather what we should do? As long as i don't have to sit in my hotelroom every day. If it's Stockholm, Järna, Södertälje,... or another little city with a nice place to sit and drink something...it's good for me.

[Rafael]

Do u you have a pic. that shows you here att cyberspace?

[!nathalie!]

This is a link with a few pics of me and my MINI and 2 events here in Europe.
Well my colleague said to me that there's a train every hour towards Stockholm central, so no problem for me to meet you guys there somewhere.

[KPKalle]

Nice pics 8)

It looks like the trains go every half hour after 19.00 at 03 and 33 past the hour.

I am not sure yet which day we should meet. We should wait a little and see if anyone else can come. Any day is ok for me - but perhaps Tuesday or Wednesday is best? I suggest we meet at about 19.00 or 19.30 at Stockholms Södra station since it is easy to park around there.

[!nathalie!]

OK, let's meet on wednesday. Maybe i will take train earlier and go walking in Stockholm already, but i will go to station again at that time of the day (19h00-19h30). I will inform you again which hour exactly OK.

[KPKalle]

Natalie I think Tuesday will be best. Same time though :wink: :D

I will PM my mobile number to you on MINI2.

[!nathalie!]

Hey, i will be there at 19h00. Will wear MINI clothes of course....T-shirt of course, not a MINI skirt (dress) :D
Somewhere outside the station?

[KPKalle]

I think we will get there closer to 19.30 - my girlfriend is working late :roll: :( I hope that is ok with you. Oh and I will be wearing a MINI t-shirt aswell :D

There are two exits at Stockholms Södra station. Come out at the Swedenborgsgatan one. Towards the front of the train. We will wait for you outside there :)

[!nathalie!]

No problem for be, i´ll be there.

[KPKalle]

Nathalie we waited for you until nearly 20:30. Where did you get to?

Do you want to try again maybe on Thursday? Same time, same place :)

[!nathalie!]

Hi, i thought it was Stockholm central to take? I didn´t know about 2 stations in stockholm. So on last second i get off at Stockholm södra (or something) becaue i saw the utgang you mentionned. Outside i noticed that this was not the central station, so i walked by foot towards the old city and central station to see if there also was the exit swedenborggatan 1, but i didn´t find it there. So 50% chance to meet you guys, but i took the wrong choice.
Well in case of another meeting....i don´t have that much money with me.
I can spend 200K each day...then my budget of 1000K is gone. So i think it will be for another time i come to sweden.
Stupid i know.

[KPKalle]

That's a shame. Yes Stockholms Södra was the right station and the Swedenborgsgatan exit. Oh well - let me know if you do want to try for tomorrow :)

I should have got your mobile number first. Too late now I suppose - but Morty gave it to me this morning.

If we don't see you then enjoy your time at Cotswolds next month 8)

[!nathalie!]

I'm back home. I still find it so stupid from me to take the wrong station.
Next time i just should take the yellow Mini that was standing on the parking at Scania or the S before the VW buildings.
I just read everything again and i surely ddin't read your last messages well. :oops:
And also sorry that you have to wait that long for me. But hope that the indian food was OK :wink:
