Thursday Snippets
As you may know, Saab USA are offering free Aero Academy driving courses to the first 100 Turbo-X customers in the US.
I’m reliably told that as of December 22, there were 73 slots left out of 100.
So is that reflecting slower sales of the car, or a slow uptake of the Aero Academy course, which I’m told is well-worth the price of an airfare to Atlanta?

Korean design has featured here before.
This isn’t about a GM-run design show, but it features some Saab stuff nonetheless. This is from a design school in Korea and some of the students chose to re-interpret vehicles from various marques. Below is one particular designer’s take on the Saab Aero X.
Thanks Kroum!

Wulf tells me that Dutch Saabers can pick up a Winter Pack on their new Saab 9-3 convertibles.
This is the pic I should show you:
With the winter pack, you get a set of four 16″ alloy wheels with snow tires and a Smart Slot ice scraper for free. These are normally valued at €1,925. It’s an extra €400 if you want to upgrade to 17″ wheels (for the 2.8T and TTiD Aero, for example). The offer closes January 31st.
Nice car. I don’t think the lady comes with the winter pack, though. Both images are part of the PDF flyer for the pack, available here (Right-click, Save As….and it’s in Dutch)

And finally……..parking in St Petersburg
YIKES!
Thanks Frank!

Swade, people in Vancouver are obviously just as bad as drinving as they are in St. Petersburg.
That snow silver ‘vert is sure nice!
Two things… That’s a dedicated parking effort - The driver was parking there no matter what stood in their way!
Second, That Korean Aero X is seriously fugly…
As of the close of business on Dec 26, 71 open slots remain.
How did that parking thing happen? I still haven’t figured it out
At least the wheels on that Korean Aero-x beat the original.
Honestly, don’t think much of that AeroX. the front is a spitting image of a 79 corvette. i wouldn’t mind taking delivery of both cars separately, but not combined
Too much Vodka ? Hips …
Talking about Vodka, I had a bottle of Abslut Vanila Vodka under the tree.
‘had’? past tense, makes me wonder what happened to it ey robin?
your right, “I received a bottle”. There will still be some here when you visit Yeovil in 2008….
Robin M, yuk! Stoli Vanilla is by far the best vanilla voddie there is and I am an Absolut fan! Try the Absolut Ruby Red - its grapefruit flavoured and its ‘to die for’.
