1985 Gripen, thanks for your answer. Perhaps my last sentence concerning the BLS I had better ended with a question mark. As Saab-enthusiasts we are driving this make since 1973 interrupted on some occasions by a Ford and an Audi A6 before buying a Saab again. Now we are owner of a Saab 9-3 II SC.
In our opinion her suspension is a little bit hard. We are comparing it with the Audi`s one whose suspension was softer. Therefore the comfort was better in this special point.
Nevertheless we are loving our car but sometimes we are looking at her “Trollhattan built companian” the BLS.

And the “Dead Things” have Swede (in my best John Houseman voice, a la John Buccigross) Henrik Zetterberrrrrrrg now to counter Nashville’s Peter Forsberg.

Saaboy: You’ve not been paying attention, apparently. Actually, the Red Wings have only recently caught up to a one-point difference. Nashville had an 11-point advantage at the All-Star break.

Thanks for the kind words, RJ. If it makes you feel any better I appreciated what a great opportunity and experience it was and attempted to enjoy the day to its fullest. Wouldn’t you have been upset if someone who didn’t even appreciate it got to go (like someone from a major car magazine…)?

saabaudi: After I re-read how I phrased that bit about Erik and the BLS, I realized how it could easily be interpreted the way you did. However, that’s not how I intended it to read.

Erik said that he likes the BLS overall. He then mentioned that the suspension is softer and the interior is different than the SAAB’s. I don’t think he was saying he liked the softer suspension and interior of the BLS better than the SAAB. He also then interjected that he doesn’t think they’ve been selling well and I told him that’s what I heard as well.

great picture of ‘Mike and Erik’! look like the best of friends!
Kudos to Swade for assigning the job to someone, instead of just declining to go.
Thanks, Swade!

Wish there was more 60th Anniversary event stuff to read…it was all extremely entertaining.

Fantastic job relating it all, Gripen.

Oh, almost forgot. Curse you for getting to do what we only dream of. Thanks a lot.
