First of all, I'm from Norway (nick) and my english ain't that good.
Second ... I dont know 1 thing about engines, welding, steel and all of those funny things. I'm an ehh academic type who thinks it's as easy as reading a book about it :) (Gues it's not) ..

Every time I see a gokart, ATV, UTV thing on the Tube, I go kinda nutts :) As I'm getting older and have more sparetime, I would realy like to learn how to make a thing like that, will prob. take yars, but I will.

My wife won't lett me start welding because I smoke and I have to chose!! Weel - I guess I'l use the smokemoney on a good welder, more fun and more creative - wouldent you gyes say?

Have fun Dudes.
(My stupid questions WILL come - later)... :roflol:

LoL -The cheapest welder up here is about 1800 USD. (NoName)
The high prices are a result of high salestaxes and VAT.

The average taxlevels are also high, 30-40% of income and 50%+ of extra income (second job) but we earn a good salery and our socialsystems are great! (free hospital without esurance ++).

The average salery is about $47.700 (betwen 17y and retirement).

* A liter of milk is $1,87
* A liter of gasoline is $1,93
* Helthcare & medicine are free after a patient's payment/charge of $250.
(doctor apointments are around $30) Dentists are not covered by the state!
* When on sickleave you get 60/66% of your salery when sick more than 3month (i belive).
(with cheap insurance you get 100% even if you get invalid).
* The social minimum pay is about $700 a month after rent, elctric bill and heltcare.
(there is no limit on rent "realy")
* Birthleave is about 1year (with 80-100% pay) the father must take 10 weks minimum.

Welcome to Norway :)
