9 Saaby things I want for 2007

No new year’s resolutions here, just 9 things I want to see for myself, for Trollhattan Saab and for Saab as a whole.
1) Fix my front shocks
It’s nearly been a month since I last drove my Viggen properly owing to stuffed front shocks. Having things go wrong just before Christmas is the worst. [...]

New Saab for ‘07

Here’s a chance for a US visitor to bag yourself a bargain, classic 2-stroker.
Frank A emailed me a link to this sale on Ebay. It’s a classic Saab 96 with only 29,600 miles on the clock. It needs a little work but for a car of this vintage it appears to be in [...]

Go Vote (again!)

DEC 31st 8.30am UPDATE
It seems people got busy whilst I was sleeping, with the Saab C900 Convertible now up to 590 votes. With 20% of the vote and the nearest competitor with only 12% I’m going to stick a fork in it and call it ‘done’.

There’s several things to come out of this:
1) The [...]

Saab rally heritage video

This is great.
It’s a BBC report on Saab’s rally heritage. It looks like a mid-90’s piece but includes plenty of historical footage of old 2-strokers getting thrown around, as well as short interview with Mr Saab AND footage of him throwing it around, mid-90’s style.
It’s just over 5 minutes long and highly recommended.

When a Saabo is not enough

Ummmm,
I’m really not sure what to make of this. On one level, it seems to be quite possibly the silliest vehicle I’ve ever seen, yet on the other there’s something about it that makes you want to take it home and call it your own.
Imagine your Saabo caravan just isn’t big enough for those [...]

9000 Limo for sale

Ryan from Saabhistory linked me up with this, a Saab 9000 stretch limo for sale in the UK.
Yours for only GBP5,000!
It’s fully equipped in the front, although there’s no word in the ad about the level of luxury in the back. I’m sure SaabKen could be a potential buyer for this, though he’d be [...]

Friday Snippets

The Koni stories from comments are quite interesting, as well as one anonymous testimonial received directly via email. When you read Saab forums and peruse the various aftermarket outlets it seems like there’s a huge groundswell of favourable opinion for Koni. After looking into it some more, I’m not sure that it’s justified [...]

Saab O The Week - Dec 28

Here’s the final Saab O The Week for 2007 (ah, an oops on my part. Whilst we Tasmanians do live in the future compared to the rest of you earthlings, it’s not quite that far into the future. This is the last SOTW for 2006).
“Saabaudi” has been a long time visitor to [...]
