Pilgrimage to Mecca

Post by dkirsop »

I am currently travelling in Sweden and had two must do items on my hit list.

First up was a visit to the SJ Maritime museum where I had heard they had an Albin 25 on display. Sadly they have changed the display out...sigh.

Second, while in Göteborg I realized I was only a short tram & bus ride away from Frolunda home to Albin Motor. Success!

Stefan and his wife were a delightful couple and what better souvenir could one buy than a personally fitted "Oscar" pilot's cap. Afterwards Stefan drove me back to my hotel! If you find yourself in Göteborg I highly recommend you visit this couple who provide a valuable service to us Albin owners.

P.S. Stefan's wife informed me they have 47 tonnes of spare parts in inventory!

That's great. Who measures their inventory in tons?

I am on my way to collecting 47 tons in my shop. I wouldn't necessarily call it inventory though.
