Donation to the Saab Museum

February 2, 2012 in Events

The other day a letter arrived at the city council in Trollhättan, inside was a 500 SEK note. The writer is a Saab-enthusiast from the german city of Darmstadt.

Last time he visited the Saab Museum he had a swedish 500 SEK note left over once he got home and now that the city of Trollhättan has bought the museum he wanted to make a contribution.

- It’s very nice. We have to investigate if we can accept the money in a legal matter and send them on to the museum, say Peter Asp, head of information at the city council.

There are surly many other Saab-friends who would want to donate money to the museum, donation would perhaps become a good addition to the running costs of the museum which are estimated to about three million SEK per year.

- We’ve not had time to investigate if it is possible for a government establishment to gather money in this way but we are looking at every solution.

Just Saab Rally-We are many, we are Saab

January 19, 2012 in Events, We are many, We are SAAB

Our friends at Just Saab had a rally/meet at both of their Just Saab locations over the weekend and saw a great turnout. For those that don’t know Just Saab or AJ Murphy, I have to say that in the US, AJ has been a great contact for me personally and is one of those guys that can talk you off the ledge or bring you up when you’re down. From what I have seen in the Just Saab group, these folks are 100% Saab and are all about their customers. Below is a letter from AJ to all that attended their rally:

What a statement we’ve made!Outside-Saab.com

As one of the guys who mentioned an idea in a skype chat on 20 december 2011 , we did not expect such a massive enthousiasm and global participation. But that was the result.

It’s been a lot of work, for us to keep up with the details of all the events, but also for every party who organized their local event. Without the work of all the local communities this would not have gotten so huge. Thank you all, local organizers and offcourse the participants. What you / we did has been noticed.

We still have the huge task of documenting these events, but that will happen on Outside-Saab.com also. Give us some time to gather and process all the info.

Kind regards, Salutations, Gruessen, Gegroet

Saab Arctic Adventure 2011

January 18, 2012 in Events, SAAB Automobile AB

Yesterday I came across this video. It was obviously made on the Arctic Adventure 2011, which I attended, too. It brings up fond memories of a unique event. It is a great video that gives you a feel how amaizing this event is. And not to forget that he seems to like the 9-5 quite a lot.

Enjoy!

We are many, We are SAAB : FINLAND

January 15, 2012 in Events, We are many, We are SAAB

Here is the story about the gathering in Finland by Petteri!

  • Saab Club of Finland organized a WeAreSAAB meeting in Tampere.
    We had 120 cars and 250-300 participants, which was perhaps slightly less than expected, but that didn’t make it a lesser meeting in any way. The meeting was well organized and the rows of Saabs sure looked great on this bright winter day.The weather was rather chilly with -8C and a biting breeze. Luckily the club had organized a tent and a “soup cannon” so it was possible to spend some time shielded from the wind, eating some wonderful meat soup for lunch.

    We started at 11, had lunch, listened to some short speeches, took photos, talked a lot of Saab Talk, met many Saab friends and made new ones. Unlike some greater meetings, we didn’t hire a plane for photos but used a skylift instead. :) At 14 it was time to line up and make a short convoy before heading home.

    I can’t speak for all of us, but at least I had a great time and I could feel the Saab Spirit was there.

    Cheers, Petteri

The Saab Club Of Western Canada and any other Saabers in the Lower Mainland will be meeting at Springman’s Saab on Saturday January 14th at 11am. This will not be a rally as much as it will be a bunch of Saab owners and fans meeting to show support for the Saab brand, employees and anyone associated with the brand. We look forward to a good turnout and some good conversation with old friends. Springman’s is located at 19550 Langley Bypass in Surrey, BC. We are many, we are Saab.

Photos from the air

January 13, 2012 in Events

The mad dutch guys of course arranged for a small plane to fly over their event to take photos of all the cars, well we guys in Sweden thought that was a good idea so I called up a colleague of mine who works at the same airline and of course he wanted to help out. So tomorrow at 12:00 he will be touching down on the airfield in Trollhättan with his own plane and Rune our photographer will step in and take a lot of cool aerial-photos of the Trollhättan event!

The photos from the air will be shot between 12:30 – 13:30 so if you see that plane, look up towards the sky and wave! =)

Smart Klub Danmark supporting SAAB

January 13, 2012 in Events

We were sent a link to the Smart Klub Danmark forum a few days ago where they discuss the situation Saab is in and the event that Saab fans all over the world are supporting “We are many, We are SAAB”. Smart Klub Danmark have decided to support their fellow Saab fans in Denmark and will show up at the Danish event.

I think this is simply fantastic of them to do and we warmly welcome them to the event!
