A 9-3 Conv review from Derek the “Woman Motorist”

This is a bloke’s site. It is perused by gents from various places in the world, written by a dude in Tasmania and it pertains to one of the most manly pursuits of the last 100 years - cars.
But it’s always good to get a woman’s perspective on things, which is why I’m glad [...]

Entry one saw the wheels straightened and the top coat rubbed back.
Entry two saw the primer applied.

There’s at least one Aussie [...]

You might be a Saab owner if…

I hadn’t visited SaabCentral for a little while, so you can imagine my pleasure when I discovered this thread sitting in the lounge.
It’s a repository for all the things we seem to share as Saab owners, and SaabKen says: “I find it absolutely amazing that there are so many things listed here that we all [...]
