Looks good Seth.  Thin white band seems to be just enough to make the difference. |

..nice one Seth, if i remember right when Saab went from two stroke to German V4 a lot of Saab fans wern´t to happy because they reckoned the Ford lump was too heavy and ruined the set up.
I drove the same V4 in my 1968 Ford 12mP6 for seven years as a daily driver in the nineties and it was probably one of the most reliable cars i´ve ever had....and that´s including our modern plastic TDI´s!!

Glad you guys like it. Nice ads Oldbus. I'd like to find a model of the wagon but haven't come across one yet. Speedman, fantastic find! That's the first visual confirmation I have that the 95 was rallied though a couple of people told me as much. It was because they fitted the 4 speed box into the estates before the saloons. Still on the two stroke at that time. |

Jeez dude...... that is the ugliest most beautiful car I have ever seen.
It's so cool...... I would roll that all day if it were in my garage. Do people point when you are in it? I bet they do.
Damn fine automobile..... great work.

Jeez dude...... that is the ugliest most beautiful car I have ever seen Er, thanks, I think! Driving old stuff daily I've probably got used to people looking. The Saab doesn't seem to attract any more or less attention than other cars I've got/had. There is a big leap in numbers of stares and points though when you take a car from looking standard to putting flames on it. |

Amazing photos love the refection in the water and the lights. What kind of camera did you use?

Amazing photos love the refection in the water and the lights. What kind of camera did you use? Its a Canon EOS400D with (in this case) a 28-105 lens off our old (non digi) EOS. I'm still playing with it and trying things out. These exposures were around a second. Tigran, its doing pretty well. No cracking at all but thats down to how thin the band is. I don't think it'd cope with wide bands. The fronts are discolouring a little because the tyres are quite new so the oils are leaching out but its not too bad. I've plenty left to re-coat some time as I only used half the pot and that's two coats on all four tyres.  |
