I picked up my rental car at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm and and had about a three hour drive to Linkoping. I got a very nice complementary upgrade to a fast Mercedes. To see how good it was it really needed something other than motorway, so I had the satnav take me the final 30 kilometres the scenic route, that had the additional bonus of avoiding roadworks.
It was 30 KM of beautiful tarmac weaving between the trees, with roads like this I fully understand why Scandinavia produces so many great rally and race drivers. And the Merc is quite the car.

Mate, great roads and so smooth. Did you enjoy giving the car a bit of a flogging? Very envious.
The speed limit was 70KPH. I’d no go faster than that! But the roads were spectacularly good and somehow despite the long winters were in wonderful condition with no potholes. A very fun drive.
