SOTW Wallpaper - February 2006
I’m pleased to be release the February 2006 edition of Trollhattan’s Saab O The Week calendar/wallpaper.
This stunner of a shot was taken by Miguel in Portugal. The car is still in his family, having done over 200,000 kms. It’s got some 18" AZEV rims fitted as well as Porsche GT3 brakes.
The wallpaper is available in [...]
Google Video: Saab Trionic
This post harks back a little to the last post, about Saab doing great things because they needed to be done that way rather than doing them because everyone else does them.
I just had a quick flick through Google Video and found this cool promo for Saab Trionic technology back in 1992.

The Saab Difference
I may be biased (as a matter of fact, I know I am), but my 1999 model Saab 9-3 Viggen is the best Saab I’ve ever driven. I’m also honest enough to say that a recent 9-5 Aero might challenge for that title if I got a chance to drive one for a little while. By [...]
Late Monday Snippets

To cut a long story short, good quality products and proper techniques will allow [...]

Greetings all. We had a small club day yesterday, focussed on a session at Drew’s place on paint-care and restoration (some text to come on that shortly). After it was done, a few of us went for a spin into town to get some eats. Thus giving me the opportunity to hang [...]
Saab O The Weekend - Jan 28
Forgive my self indulgence, folks. It’s not the best image I’ve made, but it’s a start. I snapped this one on the midlands highway today on my way to Launceston for a gig. I got a great shot of my 99turbo last year in a similar stance. This one’s not so good, but it was [...]
Saturday Snippets
Going to be a busy weekend here. I play in a band and we have a rehearsal and gig on today (you can hear 1 song here).
Then tomorrow there’s a car club thingy on that’ll be primarily concerned with car detailing, paintwork care etc (and the consumption of BBQ products). Here’s the trickling of [...]
