FLORIDA. 82 degrees. The simmer only created by a close crowd who has a lot to talk about washes over the area like the waves in South Beach. Cars arrive and leave during the entire evening at Merchants Crossing Fort Myers. The sun tan takes a breather in the shade of the palm trees. I glance at my watch. Half past five. Things are as good as they could be. Just as they should. by Lars Krantz. Translation Ellen Kay Krantz

It was something in the way it motioned. Slowly, with a muffled murmur it parked with a secure motion underneath a rising sun. A silver fox emerged from the driver's seat in a white t-shirt and back slick. It could have been the opening scene of a very good movie. By Lars Krantz Translation Ellen Kay Krantz

The guys made a flying launch. The orders came in like clockwork but what happened with the Caddy and why is Stefan  walking around with cash keen on spending?

Florida USA. Car guys and girls who cruised the streets in the fifties and sixties are still doing it in style but what about the younger generation? -Rice burners and computers? Often but not always .
