How typical, just 1 hr away and something I’d love to do with my Saab. And that week I am in Spain… (silent cursing and swearing)
Is somebody going there with a GoPro camera? 🙂
Cool, cool and cool! I wish we can do the same here in Montreal on the “Circuit Gilles Villeneuve” Formula One race track. At least we tried during the “We are Many, We are Saab” event that took place in January but we were not able to drive very fast due to the snow storm we had the day before!

Going fast ??? Really ?
As fast as the slowest can go 😉
Hmm, Whats is DAO750 doing there ?
That car is supposed to be taken out of traffic by 2012-04-26.
Are some of these demo/showroom cars left “astray” outside of Sweden ?
