The things some people will do with their Saabs!
One of our BBC Saab lads in Sydney, Hawkeye, recently sold a clothes line on Ebay. Yes, we have clothes lines here in Australia and nowhere near as many of those planet-killing electric clothes dryers that you northerners have 
Anyway, upon chatting with the buyer, Hawkeye learned that the guy wasn’t bringing a trailer along to haul it back, but planned to just load it right up into his car.
“What kind of car?” Hawkeye asked.
“Saab” said the buyer. Naturally.
Hawkeye probably presumed this would be a 9-5 wagon or a 9-3 hatch with roof racks. Imagine his surprise when the guy turned up in a Saab 9-3 Convertible!!
Apparently both the car and the cargo got home without a scratch, and the buyer might even go along to the Sydneysiders’ next meetup at the Belgian Beer Cafe!
I tell ya, Hawkeye could just be the Unofficial Saab Ambassador to Australia, much like Robin M in the UK.

not much for a driver’s head rest!
wonder how that impacts the SAHR…
Just cruise around the block for speedy drying. Well it is a foldable clothes-line…..hmmmm….now there’s a Top Gear project!
No such thing as strangers in this world, just friends I haven’t met yet.
Very audacious and inventive owner that shows the flexibility that these cars offer !!! However, this will be something that I would not try on any of my Saabs even when “all appears to fit in”. Anyway, each to their own and I am glad to hear that the buyer arrived at his end as he left Hawkey’s place !!!
Oh… and we got a small taste of how a whiteflowered interior on a pink background would look. Not good.
Welcome to our new Ambassador !!
As a Belgian, I’m as interested in the saab conv-story as in the Belgian Beer Cafe.
Which Belgian brands do they sell ? Do they have Westmalle Dubbel (by far the best beer in the world) ? If so, let me know and I’ll might drop by (if I ever get to Australia
)
