Now it’s not long time until the first ordinary Saab from Nevs leaves the production line in Trollhättan. As many of you may know it’s a 9-3 Aero, and you guys can follow this directly via various Swedish TV broadcasters web-TV services. Naturally, they speak swedish and it’s not texted, but you can still enjoy the pictures!
I will here link to the different broadcasters I know will send direct from the factory. There may be some of the broadcasters who not allow non-Swedish IP-adresses, but I know TV4 will work abroad. Click on the different links, and it will open in a new window. TV4 start their show 12:55 local time (CET / GMT +1:00), SVT start theirs at 13:00.

Hood to a 9-3 anyone?

We often hear about when the spare-parts are out of stock, but today I came across a image on Instagram, so I want to show the opposite situation.
As you can see is it a load of hoods, and the text says that it is for the 9-3 (MY03-MY07 I think), and they are ready for painting at the company “Falk Lack” in Mora, Sweden. We don’t know who ordered the hoods, but it’s tagged with hash-tag “#reservdelar” (spare-parts), so my guess is that Orio (old Saab Parts) or anyone else who is planning to sell spare-parts have placed a order.
But in the end, it doesn’t matter who ordered the hoods, for me personally it’s great to see that SAAB-owners gets their parts, and the “experts” that says “you never get parts for your cars” are shown wrong 🙂
Duel: SAAB 93b 1959 vs Mercedes SLS 2011
Today I got a tip about a movie where a ’59 93b is duelling against a 2011 Mercedes SLS…. In Norway, where I live, the price differs about 3 millions NOK and the SAAB have a slightly smaller engine, but of course these two cars can make up in a duel! My friend Torbjørn meet this local Mercedes in a petrol-station, and a small duel took place. Torgeir, who filmed this sums it great up in the description of the movie; “A showdown between two opposites, the flashy 2011 Mercedes Benz SLS and the cheeky 1959 SAAB 93. You be the judge, which wins this duel?”
edit: It’s of course a 93b, not a 93f!
SAAB CabrioChallenge 2013
The weekend 17th and 18th august the annual SAAB CabrioChallenge took place in Roslagen, Sweden. It was according to mioh (that were kind enough to send us some nice pictures) a great success with only happy people (as usual).
I can’t agree more myself, when I see this pictures should I wish I had a cab…
The following is a text Fredrik (Sword) and Anna sent us:
Thanks to all three of you for sharing!
Some thoughts about EV’s and charging points from Norway
In Norway have EV’s a quite big share of the new cars being sold. When the numbers for october was ready, they said
that so far in 2012 the Norwegians had bought 116 612 new cars, of those 3 404 are EV’s, that’s about 2.92% of all new
cars in Norway in 2012. Compared to the same period last year this is +138%.(!!)
So, why have Norway a higher share EV’s than the rest of Europe?
