Hi All,

Are there any Saab drivers and their cars going to Le Mans this year? My brother and I will be driving down in my 93 ragtop on Thursday morning via the tunnel at around 8:40.

No saab but going in a battered citeron zx 1.8 95/m which i brought for £450 it's leaking fuel so if you see me on the side road in flames you will know who I am.

PLus we have brought it to put everybodys crap in, which is a bit of a gamble but hey, its the spirit of le mans

See you all there

Team Stella

In June 2006, a crack drinking unit was sent to prison by a kangaroo court for a crime they did not commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security relationship stockade to the Le Mans Underground, where they survive as soldiers of debts. If you have a problem, if no one else can help and if you can find them sober, maybe you can hire... TEAM STELLA

Hirsch 9-3 Tid, just 2 years old and probably spent more time at the dealer than with me. New turbo 2 weeks ago, engine malfunction light appeared yesterday so it's back to Canterbury Saab for the 5th unscheduled time this year. My 4th Saab and the worst car I've ever owned.

We want to get to Le Mans and back in a reliable car so we're taking the Marcos...once sorted the Saab will appear in the classifieds here but I'd strongly advise you not to buy it !

Saab driver going, but sadly no Saab this year weeping Despite having all 3 of my c900s on the road, it is my turn to be a passenger this year. Still, more opportunity for drinkbeer

Take the point but my old Abbott(petrol) 9-5 eat two turbos in 30.000 miles. I've had enough of Saabs and I've also hit the male menopause so the plan is an old Mk2 GTI to commute to work and an Elise for the weekend.....
