That's right folks, over the weekend my situation has changed and I feel I no longer qualify to use PH anymore this is because.....

I have sold my Saab 900!

I just couldn't tame the car, it was you against the elements all the time and it was wearing me out. I'm now going to get something with more useable power.

Should I ever enter back into the world of Swede ownership I will be back!

Exactly the reason for my abscence in the past few months. until I can achieve the dream of owning a swedish supercar I will always feel an odd one out.

Only if you can make it to Worthing, that's where I'll be this year.

sorry to hear you're leaving Corin. Perhaps look at getting another as a second car? Servicing isn't quite as bad as some other exotica and you dont need to go for the fire breathing 165bhp/tonne monsters to have fun in these cars. How about one of these older style beauties?



probably get classic insurance on this sort of thing and it may be cheaper to insure than a Ferrari 308 GT4 from the same era.

FWD, beautiful styling and all that BHP.
Wow, now I understand the reasoning for Swedish power.

A very wise decision I think. I've known some people who were too macho to admit they couldn't safely live with their 900s, in my opinion it's much more manly to admit the beast has beaten you and that you'd be safer with something lower powered but lightweight, but still with an emphasis on handling, like a micra or something.

Ive got an old skateboard in the garage you could take for a test drive Corin.

The power to weight ratio will match your capabilities much more that that Swedish beast, just dont use it to go downhill

*this value is dependant on amount of Pasties, Cream Teas and Scrumpy consumed.

On a serious note for a second, what is the knob (easy!) on the tranny tunnel?
