How to get motivation

From today will I start to use my blogg in a little different way and not just show updates about my car. I will start to write what's on my mind or what ever. But most of the time will it be connected to VW and my car or friends.

What give you the motivation to go out to a cold and maybe dark garage in the middle of the winter?
I see a lot of photos on different sites and forums on different garages. To see a guy working hard in a small and cold give me the right motivation to go out to my warm and not so bad garage and start to work on what's on the list. Why this gives me the motivation? I can just imagine how little I should do on a car or what ever I'm working on at the moment in a small and cold garage. I get alot of motivation when I'm out and travel for my work. That gives me sometimes a little time to visit friends and other pepole with the same interest.

This week was one long delivery tour. I left my home last sunday for a 600km long drive up to Gävle. On the way up I made my first stop in Borås at two places. First did I meet up with Steffo at Staoil in Borås to pick up some safari windows to Martins new Samba bus . Next stop did I just some km away at P-I the one and only :D I picked up a luggage carrier that I have bought from him som weeks ago. At the same time he loaded my car with a bonnet from a VW 52 I guess.
Here is a picture of P-I:s Ghia. You can read more about P-I and his VW at FOLKA
Now over to the next stop. My next stop was at the famous Nisse in Kulma. This stop was welcome after nearly 300km drive. Nisse had the coffee ready when i arrived and deliver Lucie the devil women. I didn't got permission to take any new pictures in his garage. There was a new secret project on the move. I can say that is has two windows in the back of it. You can see old pictures of Nisse here.
This days last destination was Gävle. Next day was full of work and after that did I make a visit to Woffe. It was to him I had to deliver the luggage carrier. I also deliver some other stuff ;)
Unfortunately was Woffe sick so I could not visit his big VW hideout. Woffe is well know for his company WolfParts.

New day and new adventures. Now did i went back south again, down to Bålsta just outside Stockholm. This time did a deliver an old car radio made by Delco. This Delco was made between 1937 and 1938 in USA. The guy who bought it was B Strömberg. Mr Ströberg is collecting on all kind of car radios. He also have all kind of other stuff for radio repair and normal transistor radios. Mr Strömberg said that he have about 300 radios of various kind. He had a small story about every radio. This guy was fantastic to listen at and I hope he will find a place to show them so everyone can have a chance to se and listen to his stories.
Here is Mr Strömberg pointing at a Lorenz in NOS condition for a VW split. Please do try to buy it or any other radio. He will refuse to sell it. Already has to many people tried to buy it. So please do not call him about that.
Here is a close look at the Lorenz and one of the first Simens. Also the Simens are NOS.

Here is a picture of the very first Blaupunkt that came out on the market just after the world war II.

Here are some radios from the Swedish Sound Radio. They were from the begining made for the Swedish army. Some of them ever have the three Swedish crowns.

A view of some of the radios.

This is one other early American radio. This version had a key so you could look it from kids and other people so they didn't drain the battery when the driver was gone away.

Here are a stack of different Blaupunkt Frankfurt.

Here is one Akkord. This one are both a car radio and and a normal transistor radio that you can carry with you.

Here is a cassette for a Blaupunkt Derby transistor radio.

This is a picture of the last radio i took a picture of. One more very nice radio of his collection.
I want to say thank you to Mr Strömberg for that he let me see his collection.
