Introduction Anders T.

Anders T · 11-05-2011, 04:30 AM

Hello all,

My name is Anders, living on the west coast of Sweden. The Volvo country.
Civil engineer and have been working in the veihicle engineering industry all my life. Have started and run two engineering companies in that field, so I am used to CAD/Catia, laser scanning, rapid prototyping etc. Have sold the companies and retierd early.

Now working as part time as advicer for some companies and for the Swedish Supplier Organisation - so I am still involved in whats going on in the field of development.
When I was running the engineering companies I also hade prototype workshops inhouse. Workshops with Laser Scanners, Rapid Prototyping and skilld craftsmen. When they didn´t build what we hade designed and engineered for OEM, they build Special Veicles. Such as the Composite Ambulance for Volvo, stretched 6 door cars and cars for the Swedish Police.

We even build a car for President Jeltzins bodyguards. Will tell you when I see you in a bar somewhere.

I have had a lot of different sportscars and I am not particular interested in doing the service on them, but I am interested in every kind of modifications.
Today I talk a lot in my profession, and going down to the workshop, doing some work on my cars - with my own hands gives me some real satisfaction.

Today I have a 430 2008 with full Capristo and with a special silent Capristo muffler. All their insulation and brackets are fitted.

Got tired of both Fabspeed and FC so I followed Stefvan here, hoping to take part in more knowledge and modifications. And hopfully being able to contribute with some ideas.

All the best

Anders T

Anders,

As a proud pocket protector-wearing Aerospace Engineer, I can tell you you've come to the right place. I'm sure you'll enjoy the posts by member "mk e" and have tons to talk about. So sharpen you're old No 2 and put fresh batteries in your calculator.

On behalf of my felllow FL brethren, let me say welcome.

Welcome to FLife

Your transfer in support of Stef speaks volumes of what Ferrari owners and enthusiasts are all about.

Hope you enjoy it over here - so any pics of that place you call the workshop?

With a resume like the one you posted it sure is tempting to meander to the bar you may frequent.

Thank you all. OK here are some pictures of my cellar. Total 150 m2. Sold the Boxster today so now it is just the old 993 and of course the 430. The 993 is engine out now and have also just started up a project to measure and correct the bump steer on this veihcle. After that there will be some Ferrari work. Installation of OEM roll over bar and then Stefvan - we must do the sequential gear change light.

All the best

Cool set of Air Screws in that last pic. Welcome aboard.

Killer58 · 11-05-2011, 08:44 AM

When I die, I hope Heaven is just like your shop.

brettgagnon · 11-05-2011, 08:49 AM

I second David's comments, great shop!

tazandjan · 11-05-2011, 09:10 AM

Anders- Welcome, you will make a great addition here. Looks like you have quite a collection of flying model engines, too. Some of those look like they pulled very large models.

Welcome to FerrariLife. However when I think of Sweden it is more this than Volvo.

StefVan · 11-05-2011, 09:46 AM

Hi my friend! You have no idea how happy I am to see you coming over here! Was missing you already since a while! Anders is a great guy, really. We've been doing together a lot of research and work, sometimes very late at night, going back in the garage to try out a new thing. Anders has a very high level of automotive and mechanical knowledge. I'm more in the ECU and electronics stuff what makes us quite complementary

.

I've made huge progress on the progressive shift light. The Can bus interface is almost ready but I had to buy a new oscilloscope as I burned out the other one (spend too many hours on it hahaha). Anyway, it was the opportunity to switch from an analogue to digital oscilloscope. With this new toy, I'll be able to make real progress especially with high rate Can bus interfaces.

Talk to you soon and enjoy your stay here,
Stef

PS : my dream is to have such a garage which is more a real workshop! Impressive!

haha ... I had a feeling this was going to be good.

You are an inspiration!

Thanks for sharing.

Anders T · 11-05-2011, 11:28 AM

Sorry - I forgot 4 things. When taking decisions, real hard ones. Like buying a F-car or not. I have a method of doing this. You just sit down and ask yourself:

1. Do I realy want this?
2. Can I afford it?
3. Is it ever getting cheaper?
4. Am I ever getting younger?

After that you know exactly what to do.

Andrew · 11-05-2011, 11:33 AM

Anders, welcome to Ferrari Life. Let us know if there is anything we can do to make your experience better (that goes for all members reading this as well).

Cheers

Jimmy Chen Shiba DDS · 11-05-2011, 11:56 AM

That is a great, great cellar Anders, everything is so well organized, all those tools on the walls, clean floor, on and on. Even tho I have no talent there, that is one cellar I would luv to spend much of the time. Very nice.
Glad to see that you also seem to like 993 ? As you can see, I am very fond of Porsches also. It would be great if you can start a new thread on Porsches so that we can learn new thoughts from you, Anders. Thanx.
w/ smiles Jimmy

+1. Fantastic to have you aboard. Love that garage.

I must say the Swedes really know how to make me smile on internet forums. You seem just as funny as Il Capolino, your countryman.

Onno
