    Peter Gilbert commented on the post, All three former Saab managers are released! 1 day, 12 hours ago

    Released but how does one get back their reputation after an ordeal like this?

    Peter Gilbert commented on the post, I’m shocked… 1 day, 13 hours ago

    This is personal for me too. I had lunch with Eric at the Detroit Auto show 2007. I also spoke with JAJ about marketing ideas in 2010 at the Ohio convention. Where’s Vladimir Antonov? And I thought the US IRS was […]

    Peter Gilbert commented on the post, SAAB Club Israel knows how to do it! 6 days, 10 hours ago

    I received a complimentary Saab vest at the 60th SAAB Anniversary, in 2007 and I would always use one if I broke down by the side of the road. They are not law in the USA but I would highly recommend buying one […]

    Remember the law of physics, the car may run on electricity but in China most of it comes from burning coal. They are building a new power plant at the rate of one a week.

    For those who can’t wait for the video here’s an 850 hp Saab 9-3 ss that the engine and turbo fit under the hood. As far as I remember the owner was a mechanic at ANA in Trollhättan.

    Peter Gilbert commented on the post, My Love Affair With The 900 Turbo explained…… 3 weeks, 2 days ago

    It’s hard to believe that I have not driven my old SPG. Even more remarkable is that the car traveled over a million miles on the original Turbocharger. The innovation that Saab did with Turbo engines has made it […]

    A few weeks ago I commented on seeing this grille at the Saab Convention in Iowa, in 2012 and it looks even better in the flesh.

    Peter Gilbert commented on the post, Converting High-Beams to Xenon 3 months ago

    Thanks Tim,
    In the US model the inside bulb hole is plugged with a blank. I would like to know what kind of bulb goes in that space in Europe?

    Peter Gilbert commented on the post, Converting High-Beams to Xenon 3 months ago

    My 2007 9-5 Aero has the HID Xenon standard as part of the “Visibility Package.” However I have had issues that are still unresolved.

    When the right-side bulb burned out a couple of years ago an independent […]

    Peter Gilbert commented on the post, Saab Of The Week 3 months, 1 week ago

    The 9-5 Combi is so practical and sporty and is the main reason I picked it to replace my SPG after she went to the museum. It now compliments my Viggen as a perfect stable-mate. It is the culmination of SAAB […]

    I should not writ on this subject because of auto-suggestion! But in 3 million miles of driving I have never had replace a Turbo in any of my Saabs! My SPG went over a million miles on the original. This I have […]

    Peter Gilbert commented on the post, History: SAAB Logo through the years 4 months, 1 week ago

    As a former graphic designer I think that the “SAAB” logo on the NG 9-5 is just perfect and most contemporary. The logo in the circle is not as appealing to the eye.
