At last weekend's SAABtoberfest I met Chrisitne who, if memory serves me correctly, had a late '80's 900 turbo autotragic. She kept up with all the standard turbos much better than I ever could in my '85 900 4- door. And to top that she drove up to cenrtal Pennsylvania from Atlanta, a 1780mi round trip, to run with us. Also at the event there was an old 99 with 3 passangers in it that left me at the bottom of the hills. While we are at it let us not forget the Sonnet V-4 that drove in from Mass. So the moral of the story: If you love your Saab whatever type it may be remember to "Find your own road"!!! Regards, Simon.
