Top Gear UK - Saab

Don't know if the current series is readily available outside the UK, but this week (Sunday's) show is going to have a bit about Saabs on it :)

Definitely a 99T on it, probably more.

Awesome!

We can't get it here in the US for while usually, but it can be found at such sites like finalgear .com for ethically questionable downloading.

Looking forward to it. Didn't they do an episode years ago (maybe mid 90s) about how good of a deal used 900Ts were?

Was it your 99t that they used on the show ??

And whats this about having to left foot brake whilst keeping the revs up on a stroker !?!?
I haven't had one (yet!) but I thought that was what the freewheel was for !!!!!!!!

Nice to see the researchers worked hard ! All they had to do was ask Mike !?

Saw it this morning. Top Gear gets most of their facts for dramatic affect, I'm not sure if they had freewheel on the first 92 though.

I thought it was neat to focus on the 99 for once. They are almost always passed over for either 96s or 900s.

Not mine, but I do know the owner :) It's in fantastic condition (unlike mine!) and has a few tweaks like intercooler.

Quite enjoyed it, and felt a bit smug about how much they all liked the 99T :thumbsup:
