Skalaberg · 2 Mar 2009 at 16:07

unfortunatly due to having an op 3 weeks ago on my intestines i still can drive it for another week or 2....bummer lol.

Saab 93 aero ttid with a Hirsch remap..got to say I'm very pleased overall with the car...cant wait to have a blast although my wife has offered to take me out in it....hmmm should she be allowed to drive it before me?

I like that, very nice.

Mint_Sauce · 2 Mar 2009 at 16:08

Nice car, are the rear lights standard?

yantorsen · 2 Mar 2009 at 16:09

I like Saabs, and I like that

What happened with your guts? Are you OK ?

Nice car apart from the rear lights, they just look wrong somehow!

Is it still based on the Vectra chassis?

Pulse · 2 Mar 2009 at 16:14

Very tidy motor, hope the wait is worth your while.

Do really like the look of it though

Yup..the only thing I changed was the wheels.

i had a small bowel resection due to having crohns disease..had 2 feet removed and my Ilium...healing up nicely though and feeling really well too.

Yes i believe it is still based on the vectra chassis...i think

Looks nice, apart from the rear lights look out of place lol

Got a fuller inside pic showing the cosole/rear?

I peered into one of these when getting mine and really liked the ambient feeling inside, the windows are more blue tinted than other cars and the colour combo lent itself well to a bright interior - pleasing!

Full spec?

You live near Hull eh ? When I lived there thats when I got ill with Colitis.

Im convinced there is something in the air/water as its one of the hotspots for Chrohns + Colitis in the UK.

I hope they got you eating almost immediately, the latest school of thought is to get the gut working ASAP after surgery, with this standing the best chance of success with the best clinical outcome.

Good luck, I know how these diseases can be really trying.

FWIW I have been under general anesthetic 15 times in total and had 3 operations to remove my colon...and rejiggle things inside.

Did you get seen at Hull Royal? Who was your consultant?

mjt · 2 Mar 2009 at 16:26

shame saab have gone bust though

i'm at Castle hill under Dr Tsai although Mr Hartly did the Surgery. My Bowel took 4 days to wake up (Which was hell on earth) but i feel great at the mo..still a little sore but i can eat normally now..and its been a very long time since I could do that.

I think this is what you wanted?

mrk · 2 Mar 2009 at 16:44

Yup that's the one cheers!

The back seats are pretty comfy too I bet

The only thing that put me off was the dashboard itself, I just could not get over the flatness of it! it's a SAAB trend though so I guess I'll never get along with that style!

wez130 · 2 Mar 2009 at 16:46

looks nice, clinical interior, liking the turbo dial

mrk · 2 Mar 2009 at 16:47

Fr0dders · 2 Mar 2009 at 16:52

if only you'd got the 2.8T XWD

That things rapid. All the power of the VXR but with the stability and handling of 4WD.

Phate · 2 Mar 2009 at 16:58

Very very nice dude, I really like that interior, enjoy it
