Hello Finland

Beautiful mid-summer Finland has been the venue for the launch of Renault 's new Koleos, a French-designed car built in Korea. Here it is near the test route.

You need thick bedroom curtains in Helsinki at this time of years. At 11.30 pm it was still like daylight, although you have to go further north to Lapland for the 'land of the midnight sun'.

Funny old weather. 90 mph head winds this afternoon necessitated an unplanned diversion to Copenhagen for the plane to refuel. Back home, one of the busiest local roads was shut this afternoon because a six-foot deep sinkhole suddenly appeared in the road surface, and it's one of three in the area that is causing huge traffic chaos!
