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 my 1999 Viggen, we took off for a cruise with a difference – we drove each other’s car rather than our own.
The video from the weekend is a few weeks away. We have about 2.5 hours to edit down to 10-15 minutes.
In the meantime, here’s some photos from the weekend, expertly shot by Mr Ben W (whose car will be the next SOTW calendar, incidentally). There’s six shots posted here at Trollhattan. The full gallery (12 photos) is here.
Reminds me how enduring the GM900 shape is. Considering that it appeared around the same time ( although not in viggen spec) as the beemer & before the Audi, it looks pretty good – in 2006.
How was the handling Swade? looking forward to the write up.
Very true, the Viggen definitly looks good for its age. The Audi on the other hand really feels very 90s if you ask me.
No doubt the Viggen is still a head turner in 2006.
The Audi was issued as Audi 100 in 1990, what is way earlier as the ng900.
Though I too do think Saabs do normally age more beautifull than Audis.
