    A bottle of Aquavit in the snowbank and a little bit of "Norwegian Wood" would make me happy......:D

    True story....
    The one on the right...
    This company (Linie Aquavit) made a huge shipment to Australia. The shipment was rejected for some reason and returned to Oslo Norway. The Norwegians.... never wanting to let a good thing go to waste, decided to party and drink the rejected Aquavit. Low and behold, the "Water of Life" was smoother and tasted better then when it left the port in Norway.
    To this day, all of the Aquavit made by this company is put on a ship, sent to Australia through the Panama canal and back again crossing the equator twice before it's sold for consumption. The Aquavit never leaves the boat until it returns to Norway.
    On the back of the label is the pertinent info for my bottle......

    Shipped on August 31, 1992, returned to port January 15, 1993. Shipped on the M/S Toba on the Wilhelmsen's line.

    Mmmmmmmm good stuff. :D

    Man that looked like hella big fun! Wonderful video MM/Chuck. In those conditions horsepower is a handicap. Low power & the right tires FTW. :Thumbsup:

    I always liked rallying & racing on poor traction surfaces. It can make the underdog the big dog. :D

    Aaaaah, yes good old Aquavit, like vodka on steroids! I do like a good driving in the snow clip, especially when I'm sunburnt after track day in CA :D

    Do you know why they're driving so hard? They're desperately trying to get away from the Lutefisk! LMAO :D

    I've only had Lutefisk once up in Bayport Minnesota. Not something I ever want to repeat.

    It's hard to believe that people even consider it food. Nasty gelatinous "once upon a time was cod" that's been rehydrated. The sensation in the mouth is a horrid unbelievable mess. Now the Swedish meatballs were great and the Northern Pike cheeks were simply fantastic. But keep the Lutefisk away from me. Simply nightmarish.
