Spent part of this afternoon removing the pinstripe I used the small model iron I use for model covering R/c aircraft and then tried various option to remove the glue - meths(hic!), whitespirit, T-Cut (Seems to work best polishing it off) You can see the rust on the nearside wing...

It’s a long weekend! Woohoo! Automotive jobs here at TS include the removal exchange of my Monte Carlo’s woodgrain dashboard for the plain dash in one of Drew B’s cars. I’ll then be able to fit my new carbon fibre dash kit. Website jobs here at TS include the changeover to the new website...

Hello everyone. After 2 years in a 2005 M3 (Carbon Black) I have decided to get a Saab 9 3 so I can actually use a car every day. The M3 was mega fast and fun but was mainlly kept in the garage (23K miles in 3.5 years) So I am getting a very reasonably priced 2006 (56 plate) 17K miles Grey Saab...

It’s my distinct pleasure to inform you that this entry contains no new about GM’s financial woes or Saab’s future. —— If anyone’s looking to pick up some rare-ish scale model Saabs, Ivan the T-shirt specialist is selling off some of his collection. You can view what he’s got available...

When you have a day like we did here yesterday, with the excellent Saab 9-3 SS discussion and the first possible spotting of the new Saab 9-5 interior, it seems a little hollow to be writing again if you can’t top a day like that. And by the way, that 9-3 discussion was without doubt one of...

News came through today that GM are closing their SUV plant in Moraine, Ohio, two years ahead of schedule. The doors will close for good on December 23. This is significant for Saab as the Saab 9-7x is built in Moraine. Like it or loathe it, it’s Saab’s second best selling model in the US...

Hi All Picked up my car on Saturday (photos to follow). Absolutely stunning its JET black. I had a 9-3 convertible in 1998 and somehow always knew it wouldn't be the last one. Great site look forward to reading and hopefully contributing. Any one else got a recent 9-3 (any tips and tricks not...

It’s late here and I have to get up early tomorrow for a long drive. Consequently, I don’t have time to write a proper passage on the AutoSavant review of the Saab Turbo X. I can highly recommend it, though. It’s a good, informative read and was written by Kevin Miller - a three-time Saab...

News on the vacation front: Yesterday, we did what anyone would do on a cold, windy, raining summer’s day in the Fraser Valley - we went to a waterslide park! The day was cut short when a tree blew over and took out the power to the entire Cultus Lake area, meaning many of the slides were...

Who says there’s no Saab-love in Vancouver? Part 1: we saw 11 Saabs yesterday. This included the drive from Maple Ridge to the PNE (a big fair) and then the walk from the PNE into downtown Vancouver (Hastings Street is certainly interesting, eh?). Yesterday’s sightings included 4 Saab 9-5s...

I’m not allowed to write about the Alfa here, so I won’t tell you about the new exhaust, or the new induction kit, or the chip that’s arrived but isn’t fitted yet, or the fact that it’s been a blast so far and hasn’t broken down once! If you’d like to see some Alfa’s having a blast and having...

Thanks to Turbin, here’s some Turbo X advertising - Aussie style. Saab people mentioned last weekend that they have 4 confirmed orders so far. There were 30 Turbo X’s allocated to Australia and New Zealand. Click. I like it. —— Thanks to Tim in Denver for letting us know there’s...

Had a pre-MOT inspection done Sunday, found hazard lights were not working. Checked the obvious things and all OK, but noticed 15amp fuse was missing from daylight running lights slot. Popped in new 15amp fuse and voila! hazards now working. Tried hazards again this evening out of curiosity...
