Send me your reall addrses (I think I can tell what it is, but just in case) and I can forward whatever you'd like to him. I'll see him in mid January at the Milwaukee Saab Club holiday party, as well. Saturday, he told me that his plan is to drive it until it hits 1,000,000 miles, and then give it to Saab for the Bilmuseum. Oh, and the stitching on his steering wheel has worn out. I noticed on the high-mileage saabs page, that in March of this year he had "only" 761,113 miles on it, saturday it had 801,000 or so on it. So, in 10 months, he's done 40,000 miles. At 4000 miles a month (which doesn't seem like all that much...but he now has a Viggen for the weekends), but at that rate he should hit 1,000,000 miles in another 4 years or so. Anyway, send me an email and I'll see that Peter gets it, one way or the other. I'm not comfortable posting his email since I don't have his permission to do so. Dave Hinz
