Somewhere. >=20 > Paul >=20 > Vart tog v=E4gen v=E4gen? > SAAB : Nothing on earth comes close Paul, Excellent. "Top Gear". Of course, a takeoff of "Top Gun" as they were done = in 1985, which makes sense. Now just to find out how to get a copy of the video itself. Do you know whe= re to get the video? I've been searching online for 3-4 years now and I hav= e realized that I needed to contact the AD agencies themselves directly for= old VHS videocasettes. Do you know any of the Saab Ad Agencies in the U.K. from the 1950s, 1960s, = 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, etc? Thanks. SaabGuy
