Nope, he drives them himself - I pass by the castle where the king lives every morning, yesterday morning he merged in front of me* in his java brown metallic XC90 (sounds a bit Jalop), kids waved, he waved back.

Obligatory drifting with a Swedish “stridsvagn 122", a modified version, of the german Leopard 2A5. 47 litre twin turbo...

Indeed, apprently Nevs (the buyers of the SAAB factory and know-how in Sweden) are in negotiations for producing 70000 veichles/year starting 2017 for another car manufacturer - rumour says it is Tesla...
