From the comments on a recent post here on Saabs United, Peter has introduced us to The Great American Saab Run. The event is happening this weekend on the 7th of October and should see people from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania and even as far as Colorado.
If anyone has never attended something like this and you have the free time over the weekend, head out and make some new friends. An event like this you will never be sorry you attended, you will only be sorry you missed.
