Still Away
Hi all,
Just a reminder that I’m still away from home at the moment. My internet time is very restricted and I have no after hours access. This is a major bummer as there’s plenty to write about at the moment and I’m not getting the chance to do it. Hopefully I’ll be [...]
Classic 900 Loving Finlandia Style, Part 2
I don’t know Elji. He apparently lives in Kuala Lumpur and has a thing for Saabs. But then again, don’t we all. Have a thing for Saabs, that is.
Elji has a rare Saab — a facelifted 900 CD. I don’t know the exact year. He’s taken great pains and lots [...]
Gripen on Saab stuff…..
Very short on time here, so no long intro.
Gripen’s second post on his gravy train trip across the USA courtesy of Saab. I should have it so good!

I can get used to this SAAB media junket. You might remember in February I was a guest of SAAB USA representing TrollhattanSaab.net in San Diego at [...]

It’s been a little while since I’ve shown some SOTW photos. There’s been a lot of stuff going on and the category has slipped a little in priority so I’m pleased to be reviving it a little this week. It’s always been one of my favourite sections of this site as it provides [...]
Classic 900 Loving Finlandia Style, Part 1
As the month of Classic 900 Loving comes to a close, I thought it appropriate to present at least one of the rarer variants of the classic 900, the Finlandia. It later became known as the 900 CD. These cars are every bit a C900, but they’re 20 cm (nearly 8″) longer than [...]
Djup Strupe on future (and current) Saabs
Following the Saab Festival in June, Saab Sweden were busy hosting media and dealers from all over the world. The main focus for the media, of course, was the new 9-3. But dealers got a look at future products and every one of them that I’ve ’spoken’ to so far states that the [...]
The 2008 Saab 9-3 Headlamps
You might recall that the new Saab 9-3 has directional headlamps. I heard that and thought “cool, they turn around corners”. There’s a little more to it than that, though. Here’s a quick look. There’s a million more pictures I could post on this, but I think these ones will be [...]
Saabrina Update!
Regular readers will remember Saabrina the electric 1995 Saab 900 SE. Mark, Saabrina’s owner, builder and chief engineer, found her with a bad engine and decided that she would be the ideal candidate for his dream to convert a traditional gasoline-engined car into an all-electric vehicle.
He’s done it right — custom machined parts, high-quality [...]
