Definitely a night I won’t forget (and let’s put it this way – I’ve already forgotten the food!)

Swade commented on the post, Charles River Saab to close this weekend 5 days, 20 hours ago
You may well be right, Saabman. I was focused primarily on the fact that a) it’s closing, and b) the open house on Saturday. The continuation of service is noted at the bottom and as you mention, I’m sure it’ll […]

Swade commented on the post, The 9-5′s built-in SatNav – a tale of misery and woes 2 weeks, 2 days ago
I think a lot of this comes down to how much one wants to depend on technology vs doing things yourself. You know the roads between Mariestad and Oslo. Why do you need the satnav? If you don’t know the roads, […]

Hi Bob,
Regarding the vehicle purchase….. I hadn’t seen your previous comments in an earlier post prior to writing this but a friend of mine has since pointed them out. I agree with you that there needs to […]

For months now, we’ve heard GM spokesman James Cain come out and say things like this:

I believe that greater tie-in with Hirsch was indeed of interest. I know certain people in high positions who seemed very keen on it and of course, the indy edition convertible did get the ball rolling to some […]

One Year after SU
What a year. Very high highs and dreadful lows.
It’s good to see that SU has ploughed on. You guys have done a few things I always wanted to do with SU (some I even attempted and failed […]

You guys should really should ease up on Jason Castriota.

VM is just one person. Saab had a whole executive leadership team running the place, not just him.

Swade commented on the post, What I’d like to hear from a prospective buyer of Saab 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Hard to say. GM runs the Department of Weights and Measures, so no scales are reliable right now.
Comedy aside, I really don’t know. You’re as well informed as me right now. This post isn’t a prelude to an […]

The “deep pockets” theme would have disqualified Victor/Spyker immediately.
Current circumstances would back you in, but I don’t necessarily agree completely. VM was hamstrung by how certain things developed, […]

Nicola, I also came out strongly against some potential buyers of Saab back in 2009, although back then I gave reasons. As I signed confidentiality agreements when I joined Saab, I can’t talk further about my […]

I used to work for Saab and I’m already missing the company and the people terribly. Like many of them, I’d love to work for Saab again if the conditions were right. But like many of them, I’d also need to know […]

RedJ – I’ll be visiting another brand’s motoring museum next week and they have just such a scheme. It’s pretty expensive, but it works, and the City (if successful) would be wise to copy the arrangement. […]

Mats is a blue-ribbon, A-grade person and technical wizard. When he says “I’m not a key factor to if Saab can restart or not”…. well, yes Saab could re-start without him, but it won’t have the same level of […]
