Trollhattan Saab has changed!
The site you're viewing now is the original Trollhattan Saab weblog, though it's now an archive only and no new material is posted here. As of February 2009, all new material is posted at our new site - Saabs United.
Please join us at Saabs United and get your daily Saab fix from Saab sources all around the world.
Like many, I’m a fan of mafia movies and folklore. I was reading this story on mob nicknames and it includes a link to a mob nickname generator.
Too tempting. After doing all the co-workers and family members, I thought I’d turn it to various Saab executives and people.
So here we go. If Saab were in the mob, we’d be hearing from….
Saab USA General Manager, Jay “Thinks-he’s-so-smart” Spenchian
Saab USA PR guy, Jan-Willem “The Grown Up” Vester
Saab Sweden General Manager, Jan-Ake “The Sicilian” Jonsson
Saab Sweden PR guy, Christer “The Grown Up” Nilsson
Saab Australia General Manager, Parveen “The Jeweler” Batish
Saab Australia PR girl, Emily “The Lemming” Perry
Saab UK General Manager, Jonathan “Thinks-he’s-so-smart” Nash
GM Vice President, Robert “The Pipsqueak” Lutz
GM Vice President, Design, Ed “The Lone Drinker” Wellburn
Saab Designer, Anthony “Danger-Prone” Lo
Saab Designer, Alex “The Xenophobe” Daniel
A couple of other notables…..
The Truth About Cars web publisher, Robert “Fancy Pants” Farago
Automobiles Deluxe publisher, Gunnar “The Merciless” Heinrich
Saab 99 and 900 author, Lance “The Quill” Cole
Rally driving legend, Erik “The Knitter” Carlsson
Rally driving legend, Stig “The Xerox” Blomqvist
Rally driving legend, Per “The Compass” Eklund
Saab design deity, Sixten “The Porpoise” Sason
————————–
I’ll let you all look up and discover the mob nickname for Saabnet webmaster, Scott Patterson, for yourselves.
UPDATE: That’s one ‘t’ in Paterson, not two as above. The results are funny either way though.

Just a couple of the regular Trollhattan Saab commenters:
SaabKen: “Danger-Prone”
Greg “Extra Arm” Abbott
PT: “The Xenophobe”
TedY: “The Enforcer”
Drew B: “Childlike Complexion”
Al Aero: “Two Fists”
Edu “Killer” Saab
Eggs “Cedar Teeth” n Grits
Ben W: “The Toweler”
—————————
From Steven “Kids Incorporated” Wade or Swade “The Just”. Choose whichever you like.
Feel free to look up your own and drop it in comments.

There is only one “t” in Paterson, which results in a different nickname than the one you (wisely) didn’t disclose.

Thanks “Extra Arm”. Though having looked up the one-t nickname I think he’d try and have my family whacked if I printed either of them!!
And Matt, I’m surprised you didn’t look up Tony “The Waterboy” Breckenridge

Hilarious. My real name results in ‘The Delicious’ — more appropriate for my nickname!

“The Pants” has let you out to play again, Matt The Merciless?
Ah, the little things that relieve the boredom of the day. I think I’d a lot more fun making fudge right now.

I’m having trouble accepting that Anna-Nicole Smith could possibly be “The Pope”. Jesus!
I could make at least 25 jokes using the word ‘Missionary’ at this point, but I’d better refrain.
