One of my twitter contacts is the Saab club of Finland and today I received a tweet from them saying that they had had a great day on the ice.
Saabs on ice!
Here’s some footage from ice track today. The red Saab 96 is a V4 Rally and the yellow one is V4 Rallycross edition (Power steering, extremely lightened body, used to have injection engine but now has carburettors).
Please head over to Tommi’s website for a great nine minutes of ice racing.

I like the ice road. I was hoping to take my car on the ice up in Bayfield, Michigan. I’m going to call and see how thick the ice is. What fun! Oh by the way, if there’s any deal, it might happen on a weekend.
Nice 900 2d 😉
You mean 90 🙂
Damn! I just called Rittenhouse Inn up in Bayfield,WI. The ice road to Madeline Island isn’t open this year. Too warm. I thought that might be the case. I might ask Mrs Vagabond if she wants to go up there anyway for some winter activities.
Aaah old V4 memories coming back to me.
It was really a true winter car,
That was AWESOME!!
Very, very nice video. No naff music. Properly edited. Really great sound from those cars. Wow!
Notice my avatar? I’ve been doing this for 25 years. Its is unbelievably fun. See many Saabs ice racing here in the States at http://www.icerace.com Im in anything with the number 29 on it!
Enjoy
