Hi All,

Right the Saab is sitting on the driveway.

It cost £120 to repair and passed the MOT with flying colours.

I'm to drunk to take it out for a spin now, but tomorrow morning (providing i'm sober)


I''m going to take pics and maybe even a video :D - seriously can't wait, 6 weeks without a car and it's finally here :D

Will post tomorrow with high res pics and possibly a video.

Speak soon

Spend the day cleaning it before you go out driving it, especially the interior.

If it were me i'd be popping down to Auto Factors and getting some good cleaning stuff and get it gleaming, even if your going to drive it round the corner and it gets filthy, still protect it to a certain degree :)

Can tell that you're ****** mate.

You should have ended that post with "Lots of love" :p

Looking forward to the pics and videos. Go easy with it though, especially in this weather.

yeah I'll admit it does need a good clean, i'm way to lazy to clean the exterior so i'll take it down the road for that, i'll do the interior though :)

EDIT: I need to get some updated pics up, it now has a new badge on the front and clear side repeaters, but the thing is dirty at the minute and the battery on the camera is flat.

DOUBLE EDIT: The bumper hasn't been painted yet as I've got the paint but waiting for a nice hot day to do the paint work in :)

Nice car for a veery nice price :) . My dad has a saab 95 2.0T, and I think it's pretty decent. Unfortunately I don't have the license quite yet, but I've driven it a few times. I don't quite like the "jerking" in the wheel during hard accelerating, but that goes for most front wheel driven cars with some juice :p . It also feels a tad heavy during cornering and braking...

That's because they are executive cars that weigh the size of a small barge and are built for straight motorways :)
