It's a Saab - they do have an aircraft heritage. Mind you, even Saab themselves thought there weren't enough gauges and switches.

My wife had a similar objection when I wanted to buy a pristine black 9000 CSE. She didn't actually look at it properly and admitted that they were actually nice cars when we parked next to one in a car park. <--- This one was LPG'd as well - my wife looked closely enough to notice a second hole near the petrol cap that went into the boot and asked what it was. > and............. > > 3) that I'd end up spending too long asking for help from "deranged > obsessives on the internet" :-) So, she lacks taste in cars but she's not stupid :) Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
