now (they're) coming pretty fast from there again Explanation: This is just a literal translation. The parentheses are because the original is a passive construction that doesn't work in English. If I were to want to translate this to put in on a postcard (not having seen the picture...), I might say something like "Moving pretty fast" "They've really got the pedal to the metal" "Now we can really move!" "Now that's fast!"...be creative. |

There they come speeding again / There they come pretty fast again Explanation: One suggestion above that came to mind. Yep, it's a creative expression that can be translated in many ways (not having seen the picture). The other phrase in the card saying 'Hiljainen vauhti' means 'slow speed' |
