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

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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.
