I thought some of you guys would enjoy this. As I understand it, in Sweden a sixteen year old cannot get a license. But a sixteen year old can drive a traktor.

Apparently the Swedish government's definition of "traktor" deals with top speed and seating capacity. The engine is governed and gear limited to a maximum of 30KPH and no more than two seats. The rest is up to the imagination of the teenager. When he turns 18, he can pull the extra gearbox and remove the throttle stop. Voilá, a custom ride for the college bound automotive engineer in waiting. Some of them are pretty darned cool. I especially like the yellow one the :58 mark in the video. Lots of chop, channel, sectioning and talent in that one. WARNING: Music content. MUTE this if you are in the office. ;-)
