Site stats: March 2008
Another month has passed us by and it’s time for the Trollhattan Saab site statistics for March 2008.
There were a comparatively pedestrian 189 articles posted here during the month, averaging out at around 6 articles per day. I’ve had some medical issues this month that will be ongoing for a little while so the [...]
Everyone’s selling Viggens!!
Just out of curiosity (the Alfa thing isn’t a done deal just yet) I thought I’d go and take a look at the Saab Sonett classifieds over at Saabnet. Unfortunately I drew a big zero there. Not one Sonett there on the blocks.
However, if you’re after a Viggen, there’s an absolute smorgasboard to [...]
A longer look inside the Saab V6
Tedjs recently took us on a brief tour of the fuel injection system on the 2.8 V6 that powers the Saab 9-3 Aero. This time, he’s giving us a closer, more in depth look as he slowly takes a bit more of this engine apart.

Per Eklund drives the Turbo X through space

You poor [...]
Monday Snippets
Don’t leave valuables visible in your car.
It sounds like an old message and a common sense one, at that. People still manage to ignore it and suffer the consequences (I’m not blaming the owners, though, it’s the thieves who deserve a good kicking).
iPods seem to a very popular item so if you can’t take [...]

Add another two to the list of movies with Saabs in them.
Russell Crowe is starring in a flick called State of Play. It’s being filmed in Washington and sees Crowe driving a light blue Saab 900 from the early 1980’s. The [...]
Why I love to drive
I’m sure there are reasonable people out there for whom horses are a hobby that consumes their every thought. There are stamp collectors, gardeners, painters, trekkies, pigeon fanciers, football fans and fetishists. It takes all types to make up a world.
Me? I love to drive.
I love the connection between man and machine. [...]
