We had a stop at a petrol station and were given a tip to find another Volvo. We followed the road to the ferry in Rjånes and asked around. We took some directions, a few wrong turns, stopped at a plum red house and were met by Frank. He was happy to show us his father’s car as he had been driving it as an 18 year old a blue Amazon 66.

Frank selected a nostalgic song:
I wanna rock n roll all night, by Kiss, press play

In a second garage he shows us a well kept Volvo PV and tells us a story about his father, ”In the 50´s he fell in love with my mother who lived next door. He used to drive over there with his six extra lights and place the car at a position where the lights hit her windows hoping she she would come out. And she did you know shes my mother. I think he had a lot of respect for my grandmother and didn’t dare to make contact with her daughter in any other way, even though he was quite a tough guy, he was a sailor at the time, had a tiger tattoo.”
