Hello from sunny Yorkshire (UK)

Postby sweedspeeduk » Thu Sep 15, 2011 10:50 am

Hi
I stumbled on to this site via a link on uksaabs and have spent about 3 hours looking round !

Like it a lot there seems to be a good natured hard core of SAAB mentlists on here with some fantastic cars and projects.

I'm a painter panelbeater with my own saab specialist bodyshop here in the uk and have a fair amount of SAAB's in various states of repair :-(

Thats about it really

Thanks Mark

Our SPGs were the Turbo 16 variants with the aero package (ground effects), tri-spoke wheels, uprated tires and on 87+ lower , stiffer springs. They came in a limited number of colors (grey, black, red, and green depending on the year) and had all options standard and of course a five-speed transmission. Also , all the "Turbo" and "900" badges were stripped off. Did I miss anything? Oh yeah there is a silly "premium fuel only" (something like that) sticker by the gas door.
