So, a few weeks ago after a few beers I entered a monthly car care competition! Maybe I should have written a bit more and hopefully the website in question are going to rotate my pictures for me but the main thing is the winner gets to spend £150 on the website!! Also the competition is won by...

While in Boston this week, we “social media” journos hacks were treated to a comprehensive presentation about the Haldex XWD system and why it’s an important development for Saab in its core markets: Northern Europe and the Northeastern US. The reason: it’s great in wet and snowy conditions...

Voting has finished in the Saab Pride of ownership competition and we have a winner. Congratulations to Vaidas in Lithuania for submitting the winning entry in the competition. As you can see, the competition for second, third and fourth place was very tight, with Wilfried just beating...

José Galvão asks in comments: <blockquote>Swade, we can send only 1 photo?? Can we send 2 at least?? </blockquote> And my answer to that is: the more the merrier. If you’vot multiple great shots of your Saab in a great location, then send them through. The one ondition, however, is that if...

As promised, there’s been an upgrade to the Saab Pride of Ownership competition. I’m now adding a third prize to the existing prize pool. Small in size, but very, very useful and very, very Saab. But first, a quick review. The full details are here. What you need to do: Take a photo of...

This latest entry came in last week and to be truthful, I’m not sure if it was intended as a POO entry or not. But it’s got some great shots of the car and some words to go with it, so I reckon it’s worth including. Our writer is to be known as ‘Baah’ and this is his story: ——...

As we’ve just had a federal election here over the weekend with a sweeping change in the government, including the Prime Minister losing his own seat in parliament, I’m feeling a little bit democratic today. Upon launching the Pride of Ownership competition a few weeks ago (POO competition...

It’s time for another Pride of Ownership entry, with a photo of your pride and joy next to somewhere special. Ideally, that somewhere special should be somewhere near where you live. That’s not quite the case here, with the photo being taken a little way away from home, but it’s still...

Just going through the pics from the Melbourne trip….. I know, it’s very childish, but fun nonetheless. And whilst I’m here, word about town is that I’m about to change teams, however I can confirm that this is totally unfounded, despite evidence to the contrary….. Nice pic, Tony...

Our driver here has emailed me and suggested that these shots be entered for the current TS competition, the Pride Of Ownership competition, or POO, competition. I’m in two minds about allowing this as a POO competition entry. For starters, I don’t think the owner took the photo and whilst...

Here we go with the first entry in the Pride of Ownership competition. And yes, for the sake of brevity, I’ll be acronymming it down to “POO” If you haven’t heard of this yet, there’s some great Saaby prizes to be won. All the details are here, but the basic idea is to shoot a great photo...

As I wind into holiday mode, it’s time for you to wind up, get snapping, show off your car and win some groovy Saab stuff. I’ve only held one competition here before, where you guys got to nominate the new number plate for my 900 Aero. That one was a bunch of fun and a guy named Scott took...

On Friday 17th I head up to Sydney to collect my new car - a silver 1985 Saab 900 Aero. I’ve been wanting to hold some sort of competition here for some time, and this is the ideal opportunity. As I’ll have to re-register the car here in Tasmania, I figured we may as well decide what the...

So Saab's competition, officially speaking, is Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volvo. Comments to this statement have varied with some agreeing and some disagreeing, which was exactly as I expected. The main theme I identified as I read through them was the debate between Saab now and Saab in the...

A few days ago I wrote a piece here on the site called Competition and Opportunity. In summary, there had been some discussion post-San Diego that Saab were setting some sights on Camry and Accord drivers, pointing out that you could get into a 9-3 for around the same price as a top deck...

One important point that's been raised from Gripen's coverage of the San Diego 60th Anniversary event is the following: <blockquote>SAAB USA is trying to get the word out that for the price of a well-equipped Toyota Camry or Honda Accord you can drive a SAAB. SAABs start at USD$27,000. They...

I was wondering if the guys on the forum should make design suggestions to help improve the front end of the 9-5 for 2007.Maybe GM will take the hint? 25 minutes with a no experience of photoshop. Not exactly what would look perfect - but Subtle changes - But seriously MUCH better!!! OK - it...

As devoted as I am to my 9-5, I saw an approved used 2003 VW Phaeton 3.2V6 with only five thousand miles on it at a VW dealer for just 24 grand. Also just seen the new Passat in the metal and it seems a considerable step up from its predecessor, more akin to a 9-5 than a rep-mobile. The new 9-5...

I read on the Elkparts site that their last month competition had a large response. At least 4000 in fact! I hope that the discussion on that subject on SAABSCENE played a large part in the success of the competition . This month's answer is A. Gunnar Ljungström for those of you not...

There is a good competition on http://www.saabtrader.co.uk/ - elkparts are also running a competition there
