Ok! But in many cases, the older nice cars on this site is available because many people drive
crappier cars during the salty winters which saves the nicest cars. The winters in the southern
half of sweden is pretty bad for car on the corrosion side of things.

Man borde ju seriöst fundera på att göra en internationell version av garaget. Hade varit ruggigt coolt.

FYI it's really make VOLVO here in minority, not so many volvo drivers here in Croatia, the new one are so expencive for ordinary people, and old one are in so bad conditions that u can't imagine that, the parts and mechanich service for oldies are to expencive, so usually people who drives for example 740/760/440/460/850 ... ride this cars till they get damaged, broken, engine failures etc ... very saad unfortunatelly.

It's the same here in Sweden, you can't go to a scrapyard without seeing loads of old, rusty 240/440/740's.

Ja, det vore riktigt häftigt, men det kommer nog inte att ske. En forumdel där man bara får snacka Engelska kanske skulle vara något, i alla fall till en början?

Well that's for sure, but here in CRO ususally can't people (read ordinary people ) afford 2 or 3 cars to have, cause, usually people buy a new car on credit line from 5 till 7 years, so they have a big obligation/rate in this 5 or 7 y, but i drive oldies so i don't have such a problems, also have golf 5 tdi which my company gived me to use since i'm very good employee , so i have it 24/7, and my volvos are driven only weekends

Yes, I was in Zagreb for vacation, I think it was in 2004 or 2005.

Hmm, actually iŽm planning a trip throuh europe this summer. Is there any locations you could recommend?
What iŽve heard there should be some very beatiful beaches down there?

Well here it like this, the Croatia coast is separated on 3 region + islands, 1st is ISTRA (towns on coast and tursitic destzinations are Pula, National park BRIJUNI, Novigrad, Umag, Rovinj, Opatija ... and lot's of smaller places, inside of that region is very goof to vidit little town called MOTOVUN, it's town on the hill, world famous of world film festival, this region is bordering on the north with Slovenia) 2nd Region is called PRIMORJE (town are Rijeka, Crikvenica, Selce, Novi Vinodolski and Senj - really not interesting part of coast, but its the destination where you must pass if u are going to islands KRK, RAB, LOŠNINJ or PAG),

3rd region and for me the most beatufull is region called DALMACIJA (Dalmatia, and u have Dalmatia and South Dalmatia), the climatic is very good and hot, nice cedar woods with a lots of crickets that are ''singing'' all night long, beaches are beautiffuly, people are frendly, not high prices except Dubrovnik, realy my suggestion to visit some part of this region ... towns are beggining with Zadar, Biograd, Vodice, Šibenik, Solin, Trogir, Split, makarska and till one to Dubrovnik). Also islands like Brac, Hvar, Korcula ...
Also in front of Zadar is island Pasman and Ugljan and after that is another national park called KORNATI

My reccomendation is to visit if u are going to Croatia =
Zagreb - capital
then u go to national park PLITVIČKA JEZERA, it's cca 2 hours on highway from Zagreb, after that yoz proceed to ZADAR, for me it the nicest town on croatia coast, nice old part of town on sea side, cultural thing, really you have a lot of to see there, like the church of St. Donat,  listen to the sea organs, see the sunset one of the most beatifull in the world, that confirmed Alfred Hichock (you can see the memorial on the coast in zadar).
Then if u like to party you must drive 1 hour to the Island Pag and go to place NOVALJA and visit the biggest partyground on coast world famous ZRCE, but bring a lot of money, party is there 24/7 !!!!

Then if u have time, drive more souther, visit places like Biograd, Vodice, Split and Makaraska, don't go to Dubrovnik, it's far from Zadar like 6 hours, no highway and it sick expencive in that town, coffe is more like 5-10 euro, depend in which caffee bar or restaurant, for everything you like to see u have to pay entrance !!!

If u have some more questions just ask, if u will need a place to sleep, apartment or something like that, i can help you also in that problem, arrange the room, apartman, cottage, trailer, bungalow ...


here u can looke at very high resolution map :

Ok, thanks for good info. We will see where and if we go in Croatia. I am not the only one who determines unfortunately

NP, if you need more information just shot here.

Very helpfull link:

http://se.croatia.hr/Home/

Hi, can someone help me, I seek links to Croatian NGOs in Sweden, maybe in Malmo, H-Borg and Gotteborg, seriously think that i could move up to Sweden, to make some changes in my life, or maybe somewhere in Scandinavia - Norway, Finland or Sweden.

Can u tell me which are the nicest region in Sweden, i mean, that there is 4 seasons, and region where i can get inmediatelly job and how to solve the housing question (apartment for rent etc...)


I know it'f funny to you all when u are reading this, but i'm in a half of a way to get a decision to move there and try to have a better life ....

Hi Bela, and welcome, nice to see you found us!

I would actually recommend Norway instead of Sweden if you are thinking about moving and starting a new life, honestly.. Easier to find a job, easier to learn the norwegian language, better climate (although the south of Sweden isn't that bad, you get your 4 seasons there ). It is slightly more expensive to live in Norway but the wages are better as well compared to Sweden. But Sweden is a beautiful country too..

Anyway, hope you're gonna find some useful information about your cars here, you can PM in croatian if you need help with anything!
