Picture from Save Saab in 2010. Trollhättan has never been so crowded ever.

Sorry guys. I received a SU-assignment tomorrow, so I will have to go to THN a little bit earlier.
See you guys in THN instead. Best of luck to everyone involved!
Wow, this sounds… almost intense. Good luck to everyone who participates!

Something like this would be worst then no saab at all. The MG brand has lost all its value.
Badge engineering by the Chinese clearly has someway to go, before being accepted in the West.
Some many big UK brands [non motor] have gone over recent years, only to be Made & imported from the East, using old UK Brand names.
Deemed cheap now……
A good warning to YM, don’t ever think about bought everything and move back to China, that is another end to the brand.
Agreed!
Trying to be there from Holland. Saab personel applauded for their management, i would very much like to applaud for every Saab employee who builded this great history. Like Churchill once murmered: never in the history of human conflict, so many had to thank so much to so few. It just feels a little like that…
Congratulations, Trued, with this initiative.
Wish you all there in Sweden a lot of success with this Convoy.
Thank You, now I will try to get the proud Saabers of the Pacific North West to make a US West Coast event. Guess Travis at Atomic Auto would just be the man to do it. I will persuade him on Skype once they wake up there 9 hours away!
Even though im about to have a nervous breakdown from buying my building, ATOMIC WILL DO IT. Lets talk specifics Jorgen, see you soon
Travis, I will be there. Let’s do it!
Great we can always trust the Oregonians, guess it must have to do with the fact that every other person in that great state is some way or the other related to Sweden. People who could do timber, work hard in rain and liked to ski. For Oregon the list can be made loooooong. No.1 state in the US, if I have the say!
There are a lot of Nordic people here (especially Finland), but I’m originally from an even more Nordic land, Minnesota. Made my way out West over the years. I’ve been flying the Swedish flag on my log home for the past month hoping it would bring some good news for us for Christmas. Sadly, that hasn’t happened yet. Maybe, just a bit longer…..
Wait a minute! What is a ‘Hirsched’ TurboX all about? …i may be jealous…
That is my old 9-3 that was sold to make space for the NG 9-5 Aero Hirsch.
The 9-3 Turbo X is Hirsched with 300 Bhp tuning, big rear wing leather dash etc. interior.
why can’t i get these wonderful toys in the US?!?
not that I’m complaining about the stock TX Combi i have now…
When I saw the “Follow me” sticker on the Hirsch Turbo X, I thought there should be another sticker below it that says, “If you can.”
Consider not putting black tape on your car. What if you pull off a layer of the emblem. You may find it hard to find spare parts. Treat your car carefully from now on! From this day forward, I will no longer slam the door! 🙂
I am from the US, but will be in Stockolm on Jan 14 and would LOVE to join in for the convoy and meeting! Would someone be willing to let me (and my luggage) ride along?
