Holy shit - Koenigsegg to buy SAAB! (1 Viewer)

[MDR]

Basically, Saab has been in indentured slavery to GM for fifteen or more years and was brought to the brink of bankruptcy but is now being bought (or so it seems) by the people who make these (they sell 20 cars a year for $1m each).

In lesser news, (ahem) after many, many months of looking, i have finally bought my Saab and will pick it up from Cambridge on saturday:

No, but me mate has a '96 starlet and he says he'll teach me as soon as he gets the buggy handles on the back of his car, which will make it look better.

The day of buying my first saab has become known as the Saabath in our house.

have you written many songs about cars?

what would be in it though? MDR and Stan talking about their Saabs and nothing else?

I told my girl I had to forget her!
I'd rather buy me a new carburettor

 

[Stan Bowles]

Welcome to the SAAB club Ro. Men now respect you and women fancy you.

 

[MDR]

I think it's the other way around, but thanks anyway Stan.

 

[kings lead hat]

Nice1!
Love these as well

Here, I'm reckoning on buying a car this summer.
Why should I buy a Saab instead of yer usual Toyota-style business.
Is it just cos they look deadly? Aren't they pricey tax-wise?

 

[Stan Bowles]

Toyota's are like Oasis -Popular, reliable, unexciting.

SAAB's are like Tindersticks - classy, suave and smooth.

God I come up with some horseshit sometimes.

And no the tax is OK on mine, under 600 a year. Would obviously be less if you got a diesel.

Any car manufacturer that also makes fighter jets is ok by me.
