Thomahof,

Thanks for respecting our policy about street prices. wink


Although I have never visited Norway, I know of the "interesting" economic situation.

When I was younger (decades ago), anaesthetists from the UK took annual leave to travel to Sweden to do locum work because the pay was higher there.

Guess where the Swedish doctors were?

They had taken annual leave to do locum work in Norway!!!

This was before Sweden joined the EU in 1995.  Of course, the Swedes are very clever to never have achieved the "convergence criteria" that would oblige them to adopt the Euro currency.


I think I would like Norway as a tourist. 

Salmon, mountains, glaciers, deep coastal fjords and Northern Lights, museums, preserved 9th-century Viking ships, colourful wooden houses, cruises to Sognefjord, walks on the roof of Oslo Opera House (!), and then, I'm back to the salmon again....the world's northernmost 3-Michelin star restaurant.

What's not to like?


Regards,

MTF

Thomahof, I'm not Swedish; could I be a foreign visitor to the dealer? Then again, I've never been to Norway. Sweden and Denmark...yes... but not Norway. But seriously, you need to be afraid now. If you never bought anything, why are you getting the book?... 

I think they have picked up on my interest for the 5170p to be honest.

Also, you absolutely should visit this dealer. Very many buyers visit Norwegian ADs for very specific economic reasons. I won't say why on the open forum, but I'd be happy to answer PMs Thomas
