Guys I had an absolute bomber of a day yesterday that totally blocked me form getting in to any dialogue. I guess by now everyone can sense when workload/commitments are high as some simply disappear altogether. Anyway, thanks for all the compliments and yes the Aero is up for sale. I’ve never dynoed it but I am sure you will get a few more KW/HP by doing so. The BSR logo spot looks very classy however its no longer exclusive as this fine touch has been copied by others !!! (Have you noticed that in one of the 2 Viggs on that day ???)

Ps – did you guys put them on the dyno while you were there? If so – what were the outputs?

If that is Jose’s car in all shots, does it actually have a BSR emblem in the lower air intake as seen in the front on shot? Nice touch if it does.

You’re right richo, Joses car is immaculate.

Either way, the Aero is for sale and it would have to be the best example I’ve ever seen and i also know how well it’s been looked after. Towels on the seats no less!!!!

Looks like 2 different cars (here in Oz) to me

And since Jose is in Oz, he is ordering a Turbo X, not a Black Turbo. Or has Saab Oz confused things again???

It’s a fair cop, but I knew what I meant. – SW

Umm Swade, not according to Saab Oz. Black Turbo and Turbo X…

since when have you taken notice of anything Saab Oz have to say, Richo?

Richo – how quickly we forget. The Black Turbo is the Turbo X. That’s the name by which it was originally referred to before the Turbo X name was known.

Swade, glad to hear your Viggen will get the TLC is deserves. Damned insurance adjusters, they make you pay thru the nose for insurance and then screw you over when its time to make a claim.

ok..

Jose has 18′s but they’re not Hirsch. Yes PT it is Jose’s Aero in all those shots. And Swade for the record it has to make way for a Turbo X, not a Black Turbo.

Gunner @ comment 15 has just emailed me the 18-inch wheels he’s going to put on his Viggen and they look mighty mighty good. Similar to the wheels on Joe’s car (pictured above) but genuine Saab wheels and a bit more Viggen like.

RM – the softness of the Viggen wheels is legendary, unfortunately. We’ve got brilliant roads here in Tasmania but I’d still prefer to change them out.
