The SAAB Suchomel meeting

Every serious car brand fan, disregard the brand itself, knows, that their cars are a great point for making new friendships and connections. After meeting the drivers of 9-4X and NG 9-5 SC on the way to the Saab Festival and spending some time with them, exactly this happened. It's a natural and good feeling.

I've got an invitation on which I couldn't say no. I simply like them. Saabists by heart, running a good service point. They're thinking in the good balance between emotions and real life, that's why they sell and service also Nissan. Why not.

To walk with the owner of the service through the stock rooms and listening about every single piece of the many spare parts catalogised in the shelfs was a unique experience. To know so much about everything means years of experience and a hobby.

It wasn't a regular Saab gathering. Both guys celebrated their 60 birthday. Many people came. Many Saabs arrived. New and old, from 96 to 9-5 NG. A very positive atmosphere, not oversaabed nor undersaabed, exactly as it should be.

A moment from the hotel. It says "A genuine beer fron the mountains".

The 9-5 SportCombi with a proper engine and everything. An Aero of course.
