I bought a 96!!!

Having successfully navigated 2.5 days of nicotine-free existence (this site may have to be renamed nicoblog), I thought it was time to treat myself to keep the motivation up.

Feeling Sentimental

There’s less than nothing around today in terms of Saab news, and as I’m feeling rather twitchy I thought I’d indulge a little and show off some sensational photos of Saab 99’s. These are all GM stock.

GM may keep the good times rolling

Today is my second full day without smoking.
Now for the good news:

A little of whay they say:
A respectable Northern [...]

Think outside the box…and win a SportCombi (if you’re smart enough)

If you happen to live in Ontario (hello Brian), you could win a year’s lease on a 9-3 SportCombi. All you have to do (apparently) is complete the entry form at Saab Canada’s site, telling them what you think would have the best effect in making Toronto a better city.

Bob Waxes Brazilian

Sorry Bob, but I’m a little cheesed off. I live in what is commonly descrived as the arse-end of the world and what was once described by our own former Prime Minister as a “Banana Republic”, and if I can manage 10 posts a week on my blog about Saab, then surely you could [...]
