I'll be flying into Finland on Saturday, September 20th and will be there for a little over a week. I'm going there on a business trip, to deliver training to customers in Espoo (Helsinki).
I'll be staying in Helsinki city center, and will have free time after ~5:00pm during the week, and all day on the weekend days that I am there.
If you're reading this, and can suggest things to do/see or would like to grab some food and a beer or two while I'm in Helsinki, please reply to this post or drop me a line --
hotrodvw@need4speed.com
Thanks!
--Eric

Hi all,
I've replied to a number of Finnish V-Dubbers via email, but thought I'd post the details of my stay here too, in case I missed anyone.
I will be arriving in Helsinki on Saturday September 20th, returning home on Sunday the 28th. I will be working in Espoo during the day/business week, and staying at the Radisson SAS Plaza hotel in Helsinki.
Looking forward to meeting a number of you, and checking out VWs and shops in the area soon!

I'm in Helsinki - whoohoo!
It's bright and sunny on Sunday morning now, and the weather looks to be great for the week.
I'll be meeting up with some of the Finnish Lounge members later today, and hope to have plenty of new friends, great pics, and stories to post soon.

Ha-ha, the moonshine your countryman Magne once had in Bug Run wasn't exactly a treat neither
Maybe good for cleaning carburetors though

I heard that the Citibikes in Helsinki were green, but didn't imagine that the handlebars would be so long...
It was great to meet everyone today. Thanks for the garage tours, beers, and making me feel welcome.
When I get a chance, I've got plenty of pics to post, and will probably put 'em in a new thread.

Hey Eric, it was nice to meet you too! Thank you for the cool photos and stickers, I'm sure they'll find a place on our garage wall. I hope you manage to visit Jussi's garage later this week.

Looks like I'll be back in Helsinki again this year, from ~March 28th-April 7th.
I'm looking forward to another great trip, and hope to be able to write up another
trip report
with new pics and stories - perhaps with more of a winter theme this time.
I'll see all of you Finns soon...

Drats. I tried, but schedule and travel plans won't permit a stopover in London this time.
I'm hoping to make it to EBI3 this summer, so maybe I'll get to check out the European cars and meet the related crews then.

It's a shame you couldn't swing that one but like you say there's always the summer.

I did, but it was in Finnish, which I cannot read, so I went ahead and lived dangerously. The pine toppings were especially tasty...

Sure, why not? It's not like we're going to miss a few!
Hmmm, Rent-a-Chainsaw could that be an idea?
