Monday Snippets

That Saab Road Tests site I told you about the other day, it’s changing.
Well, it’s staying pretty much the same, but the address is changing. it was going to be an offshoot from this site, but I figured that things would go better in the future if it started with its own domain.

SaabAudiBMW pics

I was busy over the weekend driving some German competition, albeit in a retro sense. I have a couple of good mates here in Hobart who, like me, made very deliberate car choices when they purchased. Colin bought a 1995 BMW 325 Convertible and Rob grabbed a 1993 Audi S4. Along with [...]

9-3 Ad from YouTube

UPDATE:
Ryan’s brought this new one to my attention, which I thought I’d post here due to the discussion about ads that was held here last week. This one’s from somewhere in Europe (I’m sure someone will let us know in comments) and features the 9-3 sedan and SportCombi. It’s aircraft themed and eyecatching. [...]

Sunday Night Snippets

We’ve just got back from a day with a video camera, an Audi S4, a BMW 325ci and my Viggen. What a great day. Yes, I found a new respect for both these carmakers, but I think the Viggen also won a few people over as well.

Howdy folks,
I’m off to go shoot some video today. It’s the Viggen in the company of a couple of Bavarians, namely an Audi S4 and a BMW convertible, both from the 1990’s.
It’s going to be a hoot, and it’ll be posted here in a few weeks.
Cheers. Have a great day.

Saab Road Tests

UPDATE: the link has been updated as SRT now has it’s own domain.
—————
Just to let you know that Trollhattan Saab’s first satellite site, Saab Road Tests, has emerged.
I’ve still got a lot of Road Test posts to dump there, but the beginnings have indeed begun.
It’s a lot simpler than Trollhattan in terms of layout etc, [...]

GMRN update

As you know, I take this whole GM-Renault-Nissan thing quite personally, as it has the potential to significantly impact on Saab’s future.
The pawns on the GMRN chessboard moved quite a bit overnight. I’m not a huge chessplayer, but I know enough of the game to know that subtle moves can alter the playing field [...]

Washington Times: The Saab 9-3 Convertible

Let’s start at the end for a change:

A fun-in-the-sun car for optimizing weekend cruising, a safe family hauler, a sporty hard charger for blasting through the switchbacks or elegant transportation to that special function, the 9-3 convertible provides it all in one distinctive package

Darn right.
The Saab Convertible has always been regarded as a decent car [...]
