    Brian Hamilton posted an update 3 weeks, 5 days ago

    What’s new? My beautiful 2001 red 9-3 2 door coupe, with just 114,000 kms on her (87,000 Mls). Looks like she’s been on the showroom floor since new. This one has fabric seats and a B204E motor. Although it was manufactured in December 1999, it was first registered April 2001. I couldn’t be happier. This is my 5th SAAB. Absolutely in love!

    You’re right Madelene, although I’d call it an affair. I know that feeling of joy you mentioned, and I’m sure all SAAB enthusiasts do too. It’s something that defies reasoning, but it’s real. I know that SAAB has […]

    That’s all very interesting, but what do they actually do?

    Apologies for not considering those points Tim. I simply thought that was a simple way to post a better image, which everyone here seemed to want. I didn’t think I’d need permission since only forum members would […]

    Brian Hamilton commented on the post, Saab Parts – Australia 4 months ago

    There are a number of parts suppliers in Melbourne. I often get parts from a very nice, knowledgable and helpful supplier. Terry from All Saab Parts is sure to have many parts you’re likely to need, either new or […]

    Timing belt on a 9-3? If you did this yourself I’d be really interested to find out how.

    Don’t leave us Tim. Your work is too important. You may not realise that so many SAAB enthuiusts like me are reading this blog with great interest, but are making no comments, or just occassional comments.

    I’m curious to know the towing capabilities of electric cars. Does anyone know anything about that?

    Brian Hamilton commented on the post, The last police Saab 900 retires 10 months ago

    At least with the old one, you could see the classic lines of the car. Much better. Did people actually get paid to re-design this? Just wondering about the Euro economy.

    Before they retired it, they should have used it to arrest the person who designed the paint job on this car. This must surely take the Saab ugly award.

    Brian Hamilton commented on the post, A proof of determination 10 months, 3 weeks ago

    If I had bought Saab with the intention of picking its bones and effectively dismantling it, I wouldn’t move to Trollhattan to do it.
    Surely I’d do it from a great distance so as not to incur the wrath of the […]

    From the smile on his face, it looks like he drove a Saab to Trollhättan.

    I’m in Australia too, and I really hope they get this happening and open up a world market. Looking at some of the video links about EV’s, the prospects for SAAB EV’s look really good to me. I believe that ranges […]

    Well Skipper, from the looks of your photo you’re a man of my own heart!
    Personally, I’ve been enjoying your comments and think they’ve been mostly valid.

    Well, I’m in Australia. ‘Looks like I’ll have to stick with my turbo petrol, and turbo LPG Saabs. At least in a few years I could update to more recent models, but by then I’d probably have this “old technology” feeling.

    “You cannot put so much energy into a battery to drive 500 km without carrying a 500 kg battery monster”.
    How heavy is an internal combustion engine? Do we assume that all batteries must be huge blocks? If they […]
