Sab’s new Saab

Similar to what happened with the 9-5 in Nov/Dec, I think we might have an unofficial 900/9-3 month coming up……
If you’ve been hanging around the Saab community long enough, there’s a fair chance you’ve come across Steve B’s work - and it’s quite possible that you didn’t know it.

Alcokey Advertising?

I picked these up today on my travels around the tubes.
There’s not much written in the post accompanying them. Just the company responsible and other credits, the year (2006) and the fact that they won a silver medal called an “epica”.

Nothing Saaby here.
Around 21 hours ago our 18 year old was in China. Just over 5 hours ago he arrived home. Since then, he’s strewn clothes around his room, played on the X-Box, woofed down a T-bone, played basketball (and lost) and now he’s just gone out with his mates.

Hungarian Saab 900 event

I just got these in from Ivan in Hungary, where the Hungarian Saab 900 club gathered at Ikea (where else?) for a drive to a small city called Tata for a bite of lunch and some truly beautiful scenery.
I like to think that I live in a Saab town, however small it is, but I [...]

No White Christmas

This is almost SOTW territory as the photo was taken in a Saab and there’s a Saab 9-5 in it. But it was sent to me by Tim R just as a beautiful shot of a sunrise in Sweden, on the road from Trollhattan to Gothenburg.
Sweden’s actually having it’s warmest winter in years, and [...]
