Are best friends and meet every day to build • “Couldn’t get any better actually”
Four-year-old Vilgot Wilén Karlsson and his great-grandfather Åke Wilén are best friends and also have a common interest: Airplanes, cars and engines.
Now they have built an electric monster truck together.
– The best thing is to play with great-grandfather, says Vilgot in Efter fems Sverigesvepet.
Vilgot Wilén Karlsson, 4, and his great-grandfather Åke Wilén in Ödeshög are best friends and spend a lot of time together. Åke has a place where he used to work and he hangs out there almost every day. He often picks up Vilgot from preschool and they hang out in the afternoons and build together.
– It really can’t get any better. We see each other almost every day! It’s just good, says Åke Wilén.
Built a box truck
They love to build all sorts of things together. Among other things, they have built a small airplane and a box truck in the form of a monster truck, which received extra attention. It is rewritten by Motala Vadstena Newspaper and Corren, but is also Vilgot’s favorite. The box car is electric and equipped with pedals, a sunroof and lights on the roof, among other things.
– Vilgot lives no more than a kilometer from me, I also have other great-grandchildren nearby, but it will be Vilgot that I work with, says Åke Wilén.
