    Huh....
    Small world.... The Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council just recently got one of my builds... I wonder if they will use it to power their wind tunnel for development use on the Turkish Saab...

    I really love both things in that picture. One rusted away & the other is still with me all these years later. :)

    Yes I like those SAAB 95 wagons & the Sonnets too. I'm a lucky guy to have found a wife who is also into cars rallying & racing. Life has been good to me. :yesnod:

    I wished I'd taken a pic of the old POS Saab that had the 101 Freeway stopped up, yesterday afternoon in Hollywood. One look at that old rusted out, smok'n hulk of a road warrior and I understand why the company is defunct.
