Last year I had my car shipped from Colorado to Denmark (mentioned in this post) and I finally got around to shooting some photos here.
It's definitely much more of a head turner than it was in the States, which is both good and bad. Good because people give thumbs up, positive comments etc., bad because I can't park it anywhere without risking some envious soul keying it. All in all it's *a lot* of fun though.
Gas prices are high ($6.65/gal) and the gas stations have digital price listings so they adjust the prices frequently during the day. I've learned that gas is generally cheaper in the morning/evening/night and when it rains. While typing this sentence gas prices probably adjusted up to $6.85/gal and back down to $6.50/gal. Bizarre as it seems it is not a big deal, you can get adjusted to anything.
Some of the roads here are tiny. They look like they are barely wide enough for one car, but are used for opposing traffic. One time I caught myself turning into the opposing lane on a two lane road, because I'm used to the wider four lane city roads in the States, it didn't take many seconds to correct my mistake
.
Of course even locals can be confused by the small roads. One day I was turning left and there was a car in front of me waiting for traffic. We were in the middle of the intersection as the light turned red. She didn't go, so I gave her a quick honk with the horn. It must have confused her because as she went, instead of taking a right into an upcoming parking lot, she took a right into a bicycle path and went on her way. I went into the nearby parking lot and a couple of minutes later she came driving the other way with a bicycle on her tail.
I have a bunch of photos on my website myfordmustang.com. Here's a few of them.
