I’ve learned that Trollhattan Saab will soon be featured in one of those fancy iSaab emails. I look forward to receiving one.
In the meantime, Saab global have set up a site listing Saab enthusiast websites. As you can see from the screenshot I’ve taken, below, Australia is rather inconveniently placed on a long angle down in the bottom right corner.
You can only just see Tassie down there and I’m quite glad I don’t live in New Zealand. It’s almost invisible!!
As a result of Tasmania’s inconvenient placement, those wise heads at Saab have decided to place me somewhere in Russia!!! And they’ve given me a new logo, to boot!
I’m very pleased to see Saab getting more and more internet savvy. I’ve been asking for it for a long time. And of course, I’m eternally grateful to Saab for being so kind in placing my humble little Saab portal on their global list. But please observe the following:
This is the current TS logo:
And Tasmania is here:
As I said, I really do appreciate being on the map in the first place, but Russia’s a little too cold for me. And there’s no footy.
Please move me back home……

Thanks Dave R for the tip!

Quite frankly, I don’t see why , for all the work he’s done, that Saab cannot give TS a 50% discount on a Saab or free use of a Saab for a couple months or something.
выпустите меня!!!
(That’s ‘release me’ in русски.)
Just clicked on that link and it seems they have now moved you to Belarus.
Swade, never knew you are so tight with the Soviets.
Additionally, you were the only site that wasn’t a Saab Club site.
I’ll bet that someone has substituted TS from the top of the “blogger/social networks” category and missed the last one in the “Saab Clubs” category. Watch — that location will be switched to the Belorussian Saab Club and Swade will be on the side of the world.
I’ve always thought it a bit odd that when you spread the globe in that manner (as it often is) that the Sahara Desert, one of the world’s most desolate locations, is right in the center.
The new logo you got is the official Arms of Trollhättan city
Etienne…
D’oh! I was thinking about what it was… Never thought of an answer that simple…
I love how “d’oh!” is now in the Oxford English Dictionary. Who knew Homer Simpson was so smart?
Gripen,
Yeah, I read that some days ago. Togehter with other important phrases like Bollywood and The Full Monty.
“and The Full Monty” any other films in OED?

Isn’t it in case one get lost?
So you know where you are, in the middle of no where?
From the screen shot above it appears that TS is dead centre above the Middle East region. Whatever that may mean…
