Hey there neighbour....

Your English is good, i beleive your native language is the only of the Nordic i wouldn't understand.

As i do speak Danish i understand both Swedish and Norwegian. However the finnish has alway seemed like chinese to me.

Anywho... welcome to db and most likely you will have a good time, i've only been here a few days but already feel as this is my second home.

My father had a Cutlass Supreme with the 350D, and had it rebuilt after it broke with some crankcase upgrade as it broke while idling.

it first was VALMET wich is short for ''governments metal''(manufactured military products first) and that was completely finnish company. then it was VALTRAVALMET and from 2001 only VALTRA. nowadays valtra has factorys in finland,turkey and brazil. in turkey they make that little A-series and also massey ferguson 4400-series starting this year and other models from year 2003. nowadays valtra is owned by international corporation called AGCO.

i think they don't do those wapons anymore.. i'm not sure but think so. used weapons are still on the market. VALMET 412 shotgun is very popular hunting gun in finland. it is old model but TIKKA (originally finnish) has made a 512 fin classic series which i have (manufactured in italy). my father has VALMET 412 and my shotgun pipes fits in that, so nowadays you can by 512 pipes to 412 in many calibers from water bird to elk.
