Hail Saabists, no Saab club down in South Australia so going international to pick the brains of fellow "outsiders".

.

Now that the Canadian price of the Turbo X seems to be settled…. Apparently the Australian pricing was distributed today as well. Just in case you Aussies haven’t seen it in comments, kdsaab left the following: Manual Turbo X Sedan from $88,800 Plus on roads. Manual Turbo X SportCombi from...

Sales data continues to trickle in and now it’s Australia’s turn! Saab Oz had already beaten 2006’s sales figures back in October, so the only question remaining was how high they’d go and whether December this year would outstrip December of last year. And it did. Saab Oz continued their...

OK, much like my first Aussie 2008 BioPower sale story, the claim in the headline may not actually be completely accurate - but it IS the first delivery I’ve heard about here in Australia. Added to that, a few of the photos (that I won’t be showing here) will make a killer POO competition...

Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! It’s time for yet another entry in the Pride of Ownership competition, sponsored by yours truly and Elkparts. Full details of the competition and the prizes are available here. This is Simon A’s Saab 9-5 and maybe this will be of interest to Eggs as he...

I’ve been racking my brain for most of today and trying to link our federal election, held just this past weekend, with Saab somehow. But I’m struggling. It was such a momentus occasion, though, that I feel compelled to say something. A brief picture. The conservative parties, a coalition...

Australian Hill Climb Championships were held at Mt. Cotton Queensland on the 3rd&4th November. My Saab 9-3 which is our only car and of course a daily driver finished 3rd in class Improved Production 3001-5000cc. For those interested sample photos can be viewed at:-...

I didn’t see this one coming! Not only will the Saab 9-3 range here in Australia be boosted by the addition of BioPower models, buyers in Sydney and Melbourne are going to get E85 pumps to fill them with the high octane juice as well. E85 on it’s way in Australia Saab Oz used the launch of...

I told you back at the slideshow that there’d be a second part to this…… As you may know, I was unable to attend the Motor Show myself this year, so Richo had to go it alone. Here again, we have some of those lovely young women from the AIMS, but this time on video. Richo got them all to...

Yes, Richo photographed the cars, but he’s also got an eye for the ladies. And if you’ve ever been to a press day for a motor show you’ll know that they’re there in abundance. So here’s a collection featuring just some of the models brought in by the car companies for the day. I’m hoping to...

There’s some more photos coming later, but these are the ones of the cars….. My thanks to Richo for once again going above and beyond the call, and taking some brilliant shots of the Turbo X and the other Saabs at the AIMS. His notes and thoughts from the day are here. Click to enlarge any...

This is just a teaser for a whole bunch of photos to come. Richo’s done a brilliant job, as usual, and has taken heaps of shots for me share on the site. Stay tuned. It’s a few hours away but it’ll be worth it. Share This

Hey Hey!! After a week or so of applying but not knowing, I’m pleased to announce that Trollhattan Saab will be reprazentin’ at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney on October 11. This is media day, so Richo will have the models, the cars that is, all to himself without the...

<blockquote>Sweden is a verdantly green place, from its gamboling grass plains, to its dense forests to the faces of people who dare to eat there. Generally, I'm in favour of trying the local delicacies in a foreign country, but a plate of hair-rings (sometimes spelled “herrings”) or some...

I know your Euro types must be thinking *yawn* and you Americans are possibly non-plussed as you're not getting the vehicle, but the momentum on diesel here is going to continue for a little while yet. This latest review comes from GoAuto and it's good to see that they've taken away the same...

I recently bought a 1994 Saab 9000 CS Manual with 146,000 km on the clock which was in very original condition. (In other words no replacement of worn parts had ever been carried out.) I have been finding different components which need replacing to bring the car up to a reasonable standard...
