Cars from all over Scandinavia participated to the three day event. There was also a lot see outside where Hobbyist Car Park gathered a lot nice cars from nearby areas.

LinnaCruising 2018 - 11th of August - Hämeenlinna, Finland - Part 1/4 - Rods & trucks

Here's a photo set of hot rods, street rods and pickup trucks I encountered during my LinnaCruising visit. LinnaCruising is a three day event held at the Kantola event park in Hämeenlinna, Finland. Area was easy to access since it is close to the city center of Hämeenlinna. I ended up taking a morning train to the city and walking from the station to the event park.

Event park of Kantola is on the shore of a lake called Vanajavesi. Park itself is a big grass area with a big gravel parking lot. LinnaCruising turned 16 years old this summer and it was the first time it was organized in Kantola. From 2013 to 2017 the event was held in Ahvenisto Race Circuit and before that in Satulinna and Verkatehdas. I visited Ahvenisto the next weekend. Story of that visit to Historic Grand Race is also coming out later this month 😊

The event opened on Friday evening with a Drive-In movie and live music. Saturday morning started with a burnout competition. There were also two F2 and F4 Powerboat exhibitions at the near lake. The day ended with a cruising and live music. A swap meet was organized on Sunday before the event closed. This was my first visit to LinnaCruising and it was a very pleasant one. There were a lot to see and experience. Hopefully I get to visit it next year as well.

Remember to check out my other photos from the event as well (links below) 😎

Hot Rod & Rock Show is an annual event held in Tampere, Finland, and is organized by Tampere's region of Finnish Hot Rod Association. Event acts as a kick off for the new season. This year was the 39th time it was organized and gathered vehicles from all around Scandinavia.

Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre (TESC) functioned as a venue and vehicles were divided into three halls. American cars and motorcycles were displayed at Hall A, Hall C held a dB drag racing competition and Hall C included tuner cars, customized big rigs, Motorsport and drag racing vehicles. There were also three live bands, HeviSaurus, Peer Günt and Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus, performing at Hall D.

This was my first time to visit the event and I concentrated on the American cars side of it. I divided my photos to three blog post by decades. First part covers vehicles from 1920's and 30's, second 40's and 50's and the last one 60's and 70's plus few pics from the parking lot. Check them out 😊

American Car Show 2018 - 30th of March - Helsinki, Finland - Part 1/4 - Yankees (and couple Euros)

This year's American Car Show offered again lots of diversity and unique vehicles from different decades. Oldest were from early 1900's like the 1906 REO Model 8HP Runabout. Since there were so many nice cars it would be difficult to pick favorite ones. But as a big fan of old aircooled VW's, it was nice to see car like the 60's T2 Panel Van, which I also included to the end of this photo set.

There were a lot to see with four different shows, American Car Show, Tuning Car Show, Motorsport and MC Heaven, included to one event at the same time. I divided my blog posts and photos by those shows. Please check them out! 😊
