Let's see if the link will work for you...

 

Please enjoy a ride in my D24 on a sunny August Saturday at the old coastal road between towns of Jakobstad and Kokkola on the Finnish west coast.

Sorry for the messing up with the video posting and the links.

The first Google+ links still work for me when I test them, but it may be they're restricted geographicly or groups... I do not master the google+ services (yet).

 

Also the video is not any work of art movie, but rough document shot by using my cell phone.

However, the road is very nice, built in the 50's on old grounds and still in use even if there's a big dull main road some 10 kms off to inland where majority of the traffic goes.

I was driving to a swap meet/ car show in the morning, weather was just as good as it ever gets - however I messed up the first video I tried to shoot in the inbound trip.

These clips were shot in the afternoon on my way back home, summer cottage.

 

I'll be adding some photo's from the swap meet parking lot.

The google link to me to a page that asked for my google account information. I do not have a google account so I went no further same thing for flicker.  maybe you need to lable them as public or something in order to bee seen by the general public, other than that seems it a members only deal.
