Turbo Boost - can you help?
Given that I’m a duck when it comes to things technical, I’ll throw this question from Brenton M to the experts out there. It came today via email and goes as follows:
Hi,
I have been addicted to TS for a little under a year now (I’ve been addicted to it for around three years [...]
How do you rate Saab’s exhaust note?
Legend has it that Mazda used around a dozen or so engineers just to fine tune the exhaust note of the MX-5 (Miata).
There’s a lot of things I love about Saabs, but I can’t say that historically speaking, the exhaust note has been one of them. I’m just starting to get turned on to [...]
Viggen: the journey begins tomorrow

I don’t know.
But this [...]

ChrisCam84 attended the event and has been kind enough to permit the use of his [...]
Shedfull of Saabs in WA, USA
Back in 2004 I spent a day in Seattle. I was on my way back to Vancouver after seeing the Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge. That day in Seattle bought me my only Saab 96 sighting in the six weeks I was on the north American continent.
Maybe it belonged to this guy?
