#okq8

God morgon ☕️

Igår var det en väldigt lång långfredag 🗓️ kan t om säga att den var otroligt lång! Men det blev i alla fall EN tur till OKQ8 för jag inte orkade gå iväg för långt hemifrån, så det fick bli en Starbucks fika på det hela, så jag satt där med musik i öronen och kollade lite mobilen, sen tillbaka hem till Wilda och sängen igen. Men men.!

Jag var mest vilande i sängen och kollade YouTube och Astrid Lindgren filmer, de sista som jag kom på att man kan kolla på, sen har jag nog sett de flesta, har ni fler tips? Dessa har jag tittat på ⬇️

• Ronja Rövardotter

• Karlsson på taket

• Lotta på Bråkmakargatan

• Mio min Mio

• Pippi Långstrump

• Saltkråkan

• Emil i Lönneberga

• Kalle Blomkvist

• Bröderna Lejonhjärta

• Nils Karlsson pyssling

• Madicken

• Bullerbyn

• Rasmus på luffen

Är det något mer man har missat? Har sett både serierna och långfilmerna. Men det är väl bara att börja om, antar jag.

Om en stund ska jag iväg för påskmiddag i alla fall för igår var en jobbig dag med värk, likaså i natt också, och i morse, men nu är det sol, varmare blir det idag, och värken har lugnat sej i alla fall.

Kan inte alla som gillar korv räcker upp en hand! TACK! Och nu, alla ni som gillar ludna korvar räcker ni vänligen upp en hand! Någon? Hallå… Haha, nja visst låter kanske inte begreppet ludna korvar särskilt lockande. Men jag syftar faktiskt inte på korvar man äter nu, även om bilden här ovan luras lite om detta. Nej det var tydligen en riktig korvfest i stan för någon helg sedan, med ludna…

Picture is dated 22nd of October, 1973. Esso had around 10 years more on the Swedish market by this point as it would be sold to Statoil in 1985.

Picture is dated 2009. At some point, this gas station was taken over by either OK or Q8 and in 1998 turned into a OKQ8 station. It’s unsure if it ever turned into a Statoil in 1985. The adjecent building, the old garage and kiosk, is no longer connected to the gas station.

Picture is dated 14th of November, 1989. Q8 was at the time a new competitor on the fuel market in Sweden. Founded in 1983, they had bought the Gulf stations and converted those into Q8 stations. Unclear if this was a former Gulf station or a newly opened Q8 station.

Picture is dated 15th of November, 1989. Q8 was at the time a new competitor on the fuel market in Sweden. Founded in 1983, they had bought the Gulf stations and converted those into Q8 stations.

This picture from 1979 shows that this gas station was one of the previously mentioned Gulf stations. At this time, the car wash facilities below was connected to the gas station.

Different angle, showing car wash facilities. These were not connected to the gas station, instead they were owned by Verdexa, a part of Volvo (later known as Bilia, owner of the Tanka gas stations)

Closer picture of the car wash facilities, showing they also offered tire service and car rentals.

The service kiosk (dated 20th of November, 1989).

Picture dated 2009. By this time the old building had been torn down and the station turned into a self-service station. It was also no longer a Q8 station (due to the merger between OK and Q8 in 1998. Instead it’s a Tanka station in cooperation with OKQ8. This goes back to Bilia, the owner of Tanka, offering wash, tire and car rental services for the former Q8 station.

Picture dated 2011. Only two years later, the gas station was torn down.

Picture is dated 15th of November, 1989. Q8 was at the time a new competitor on the fuel market in Sweden. Founded in 1983, they had bought the Gulf stations and converted those into Q8 stations. Before 1983 this was a Gulf station, probably built at the same time as the residential area between 1962 and 1965.

Opposite side of the Q8 station.

The service kiosk (dated 20th of November, 1989).

Picture dated 2009. In 1998 Q8 merged with OK and became OKQ8, which explains the brand change of this gas station. At some point the service kiosk and probably the car wash facilities were shutdown, and the station became a self-service one.

Photo dated in 2014. At some point between 2011 and 2014 the OKQ8 gas station was shut down and the buildings were left abandoned.
