Has that rear quarter panel in the second shot been repaired around the wheel arch?

Anyway cool car though I've always been more of a Saab man myself when it comes to Swedish fun .

Must be the light mate, she's as clean as a whistle!! Never been in a scrape, the only paintwork she has had is the colour coding of the door strips and top of the bumpers that used to be grey,

Says it all about the performance.

Yeah, I think that's when I first started to notice T5's, thought they must be pretty good if the motorway cops use them. Didn't the Armed Response Team also use T5's?

THe compound here use Volvo estates for their taxi's. Great cars to be driven around in, but the only downside in the ME is the maintenance - can only be done at a dealership where they charge silly money.

Quick on the uptake - wasn't it just a couple of weeks ago when SAAB announced they were in trouble?

Thought it was GM that was in trouble and hence, indirectly, Saab as they are now rebadged opels for a few thousand now (so why would you buy one?).

I'd be sad to see Saab go, they have made some fantastic cars and the Saab story deserves a better ending IMO.

Always liked the look of the 900 convertible's myself.
