Tuesday Snippets II

Our 20 year old passed his licence test today, his first attempt, in a very mild mannered Saab 9000. On the way back into the building, the instructor said to me that he drove very well indeed, and that he should be pleased with himself.
I mention the mild mannered nature of our 9000 as [...]

Tuesday Snippets

Good morning all. It’s the first after a lazy long weekend here.
My first task, in just over an hour from now, is to deliver our Saab 9000 over to the Eastern Shore here in Hobart so that my stepson Ben can sit his driver’s licence test.
I think I’m more nervous than he is…..
HE PASSED!

Surprise Surprise - in-car video test.

The 900 video I wrote about a little prematurely yesterday didn’t eventuate, but I thought I’d test the camera mount in the car anyway.
It wasn’t fixed anywhere near as securely as in the Viggen, which shows, but with a little work it might work OK.
Come for a ride through Hobart with me. It is [...]

Some more Hirsch hotness

As you all know, I’m a big fan of the work done by Rene Hirsch and team.
I just received a bunch of (small) photos from a Saab dealer in Switzerland of a new 2008 Saab Convertible for sale there. They get the vehicles modified by Hirsch prior to sale, so you can [...]

Scripting the 900

Cancelled.
Way too ambitious to try and shoot something like this in one day. I’ll still get some footage of the 900 today and for fun, I’ll still edit some previous videos and send them in to TG, but the full 900 video will have to wait for a week or two.
OK, so after several [...]

Some more Saab musical connections

I posted an initial bunch of Saab musical connections back in December and a few more popped up in comments to that post. In addition, I’ve received a link from Ivan with a C900 Convertible in full feature during a Hungarian group’s film clip.
So here’s a few more Saab musical connections to while away [...]

Badge Quiz

Posted on Flickr.
UPDATE - here’s the link. He might answer in comments there.
The photographer is asking…..“What part of my car is this? And for the freaks what kind of Saab do I have…(This question doesn’t count for friends )

It’s got to be a C900, hasn’t it? Maybe a 9000?
I’m [...]
