Thorfinn commented on the post, Saab 93 tourism in the United Kingdom (1959) 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Coming from the Highlands I loved seeing Inverness and environs in the year before I was born…but I am VERY suspicious of those “Central Casting Department” shepherds in kilts! I’ve never seen a shepherd – or […]

Thorfinn commented on the post, Meeting Johan and Mattias from NEVS 8 months, 3 weeks ago
For me one of the most positive aspects is the fact that the deal was resolved IN CASH – so less of the agonising hunting around for investment that sadly characterised the previous regime. Sounds like a pretty […]

Thorfinn commented on the post, Any questions for NEVS? 8 months, 3 weeks ago
First question – sorry if it’s obvious – will NEVS be looking to employ as many ex-SAAB employees as possible in Trollhattan?
Both for the workers’ sake, and for the sake of the SAAB heritage, I hope so… -
Thorfinn commented on the post, PRESS-RELASE: NEVS acquire main part of Saab and the Saab brand name! 8 months, 3 weeks ago
I too assumed from the news story that not only the Griffin, but the current SAAB font set, would be unavailable to NEVS.
These things are surprisingly significant in the market. I hope they come up with a good […] -
Thorfinn commented on the post, To remain neutral or not? 8 months, 4 weeks ago
Most impressive Brad. That’s very easy for one of us old-time Saabsters to say. But the most important part of Tim’s posting was his recognition of what NEVS might mean to the ordinary workers at Trollhattan. For […]

Thorfinn commented on the post, Neil Armstrong has moved on… 9 months ago
It seems appropriate for SAAB people, in particular, to mark with respect and affection the passing of a man so attuned to both engineering excellence, competence, and style.

Good to see my local SAAB Indie on SU!
Chris is a good guy and knows his stuff. The 9-3 I bought from his establishment has been a joy… -
Thorfinn commented on the post, NEVS Job Posting 11 months, 1 week ago
This the REAL stuff. While the rest of us around the world, SAAB enthusiasts all, agonise over the minutiae of the company’s rebirth, there are good, honest men and women in Trollhattan who might now get their […]

Thorfinn commented on the post, Deal is closed to finished but details cause concern 11 months, 4 weeks ago
Precisely my question! Where is Mahindra Bros. in all this? There seemed to be “an understanding” that they were deeply involved in the NevSab consortium…were we all wrong about that?

Thorfinn commented on the post, This is what we know! 1 year ago
And so the roller-coaster ride continues. Frankly we could live with less excitement…somehow, I had come to hope that Mahindra Bros. would step in with huge financial backing and save the company as a […]

Thorfinn commented on the post, Time is crucial… 1 year ago
Damn, I wish I’d realised that was happening in Yeovil yesterday, I would have travelled up from Cornwall for that! Glad you had a good day there, anyway. I spent much of the day working on my “Project” 9000, so a […]

Out of curiosity – was there much surplus money to donate to the Museum in THN?

Thorfinn commented on the post, Positive indications in the SAAB-brand issue 1 year, 1 month ago
My Swedish is a bit ropey…but isn’t “SAAB AB” like saying “Swedish Aircraft Limited Limited”?
That minor observation aside, I really hope this news helps towards trhe SAAB name appearing again on new vehicles […] -
Thorfinn commented on the post, The Saab 9-8 Sports Saloon 1 year, 1 month ago
When SAAB’s main product was the (original) 95 and 96, the 99 seemed big and exotic. It was a fantastic success. Then the 900 seemed big…and the 9000 seemed enormous. All winners. There is no logical reason for […]

Looks like a front suspension shim to me.
Well-wrapped, admittedly.

Thorfinn commented on the post, ttela calling… 1 year, 2 months ago
That seems unnecessarily negative. The SU crew seem to me to have done a fine job in weeding out the more insubstantial rumours…leaving us SU readers with the clearest view available of what’s going on. No point […]

I put a version of the poster up at work: “Keep Calm and Drive a SAAB” (With the Griffin at the top in place of the Crown). I’ve been asked for copies by other Saab drivers! To make your own, google […]

I hardly think discussing whether or not they will sell cars anywhere except China---or whether they will offer cars that run on anything other than electric----is "minutiae." That isn't minutiae----THAT is the real stuff too.
