About two and a half years ago, I wrote this: I have a thing for Saab cars: I think the 9-5 Estate is a work of automotive art, my buttocks reckon the seats are the best in the business and I love the interiors, even when they’re orange – as many were in the 80s. I [...]

Long time readers will know that I have a thing for Saab cars: I think the 9-5 Estate is a work of automotive art, my buttocks reckon the seats are the best in the business and I love the interiors, even when they’re orange – as many were in the 80s. Despite all of these [...]

I know that the reasons given for tax increases are usually lies – the only reason is to boost government coffers – but the supposed environmental reasons for increasing car tax really bug me. I’ve got a knackered old Saab which is seven years old and therefore comes under the new regime, so from next [...]

When I was away I drove a Dodge Charger, a big dumb car that I’m reliably informed is the choice of annoying people with no class. Which, of course, is why I chose it. And you know what? I loved it. Sure, it doesn’t go around corners, but the Americans have solved that problem by [...]

That’s me back from an early summer holiday – with a little bigmouth on the way, a late summer holiday ain’t happening – and it’ll take me a few days to get back to normal. So here’s a few quick thoughts: * One week away, 897 spams to wade through on my return. Arse. * [...]

A US man has clocked up 1 million miles in his trusty Saab 900, which survived eight separate collisions with deer. It’s not clear how the deer fared. [Via Fark]

I’m quick to moan, so to redress the balance I’ll plug a firm that’s great. If you’ve got a Saab in Central Scotland and you’re not made of money, check out Schoneville Saab in Kilbirnie Place, Tradeston. They’re Saab specialists – the boss, Ken Schoneville, used to be a big cheese at the main dealer [...]

Um, if you think your car’s steering alignment is out, don’t go to Kwik-Fit. Or at least, don’t go to the one in Milngavie. I put the Saab in there a few weeks back to get the wheels balanced, and prepared myself for the moment when the fitter magically discovers that I need all kinds [...]
