Wednesday Snippets – JAJ, Saab Magazine and a free Spyker C8!

May 12, 2010 in Saabology

The Saab Newsroom has a wonderful post from Jan-Ake Jonsson talking about their run in the 2010 Mille Miglia.

…..what made the biggest impression on me were the two magnificent vintage Saab 9-3s that we drove. What became apparent as we took to the roads was that in 1957 our designers were already producing cars with exceptional handling characteristics. The fact that we were able to keep up with cars that had 100 — 200 bhp, when we had only 50 bhp, is a fitting tribute to the talent of the designers who worked on these classic models.

It’s great reading.

I featured a Spyker C8 showing at JMK Saab in New Jersey a few days ago.
There’s a bunch more photos on Flickr and they’re well worth a look.

Also available in the sidebar of the newsroom is a link to a digital copy of the latest Saab Magazine.

It’s 70 pages long and has some great features on both the Saab 9-5 and the Saab 9-3x, featuring some stunning photography along the way. The non-car stuff has a focus on independent thinking and they interview seven people from different fields to get their thoughts on doing things their way.
As always, it’s a great read.
I never knew they distributed them this way, so thanks to Dippen for a link to this in comments.

Attention FORZA Motorsport gamers….
You can now download a free exotic car pack featuring the Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 from the Forza Motorsport III website.
Looks pretty good from the screenshot:
