The Great TS Pacific Northwest Meetup - Details!

It’s taken a bit of organisation, but the great TS Pacific Northwest Meetup is finally planned and ready to go. If you’re in the BC lower mainland, Washington or even in Oregon, September 6 is the day and we’d love for you to be able to come along, say G’day, kick some tyres (ok, tires), have a drive and then some good food to finish the day.

UPDATE - We got giveaways!!!

Quite possibly the best 2008 Saab 9-3 road test report - ever.

I’ll admit I’ve not been a huge fan of Left Lane News over the years, but perhaps I neet to take a second look. I’ll keep the reasons for my indifference to myself, but suffice to say that when Andrew Ganz from LLN emailed me to let me know he’d prepared a review of the 2008 Saab 9-3 2.0T, I was curious but not overly excited.
.
After reading the review for myself, I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Scorching Saab Seats can Stifle your Swimmers?!

I wonder if there’s ever been a study into how many kids your average long-term Saab owner has sired?
.
A German scientist has done a study into teste temperatures and found that guys who sit on heated seats for a prolonged period have higher testicular temperatures than guys who don’t.
