Coinciding with the meeting in the Bavarian Forest the Saab Slovakia session took place.

The meeting was also the last year premiere and was a great success. I had with Martin Pavelek and the President of the Saab clubs Slovakia and we had contact event. planned to organize a meeting of the two meetings - unfortunately, the distance was too far. Jost Engels, who was last year with his Saab 900 Red Arrow in the Schnitzmuehle was a guest, this year at the meeting in Slovakia. And Ruedi Solenthaler, this year the Bavarian Forest, was last year on the "session" as a guest. The Saab Slovakia session will certainly be back next year instead and is worth a visit. Martin Pavelek has sent me some pictures links:
