Firstly, thanks to everyone who has offered sympathy and condolences. I am gutted - the more I look at it the worse I get :( The real killer is that my other Saab (a 1985 900i 16V) is usually the one parked behind my turbo. I really would not have minded if that had got smashed up - it only cost 285 UKP and needs a new clutch and OSF brake caliper. I actually had a head-on in the injection a couple of months ago, totalled a Punto and was able to drive away with *no* damage whatsoever. To add insult to injury, I have been leased a Seicento as a courtesy car and while driving down to Birmingham on Saturday, two classic 900 Aeros and a turbo S in great condition overtook me, looking stunning on the "fly-by". Grrrrr ... Still, I got a 300 mile round trip done for about 15 UKP. I couldn't have done that in Orca. I do have a few suitable replacements to go and have a look at, but the overall look and performance of Orca made me feel I was driving something really special. Pants :( Paul 1985 900i 16V 1989 900 Turbo S (hmmmmmm) http://pjgh.go.dyndns.org/saab/index.html
