Pictures Saab airportmeet

This week we had our 2nd Saabmeet at Zeeland Airport here in the Netherlands. A nice spot to organise something with other Saabists. Below (and on this page) some pictures.

Save your own Saab!

A couple of day`s ago I`ve posted something about saving your own Saab. Fortunately some Saabists really do or want to. A good Saab-friend I have is looking now for an additional 9-5 to his Saab collection. He likes the 9-5 Estate, here in Holland a lot of them are for sale for very reasonable prices.

As prices are very low here for the 9-5, the 900NG prices really are dropped to a low level. A fellow saabforum.nl member (Menno) has saved a 900NG from the scrapheap (it`s the 3rd Saab in his collection). He`s made some nice pictures of his "new" Saab, I just wanted to share his nice pictures (got his permission).

Save Saab Museum page on Facebook

Our Facebook page has more than 800 followers, (THANK YOU ALL) but still has the name "Save Saab Museum". As the Museum is saved, the name should be changed. Unfortunately this is not allowed by Facebook because the page has too many likes. I hope to write a letter or e-mail to Facebook somehow soon to ask them to make an exception. Unfortunately I did not find a way to contact Facebook. Does anyone know how to? In the mean time, please do not stop sending in pictures of Saabs.

And in case you want to Save your own Saab, above Saab (with Saab roofbox included) is for sale in the Netherlands for less than € 4000. Below a picture I`ve found on the web of an other Saab (not for sale as far as I know). I like the picture and wanted to share with the other Saabists.

Small Saab meeting

Yesterday evening I had a small Saab meeting here at the Airport with local Saabists. I`ve shown them the restaurant (where we have the Saabmeet in a couple of weeks), the Aeroclub and of course the Airport itself. John (one of the Saabists) has a good camera, so he made some Saab pictures for me (of course of his own Saab too). In a couple of weeks we have the real Airport Meet, we hope a lot of other Saab enthousiasts join us then. Below some pictures.

Saabs in Stockholm

From my Swedish Saab-friend Levi Ezra I`ve got the Saab pictures below. Levi Ezra knows the types I do not have in my collection yet, so he triggers me with pictures.

Although the 9-2 is rather rare here in the Netherlands, the 9-5NG estate is even more rare.

The 93 is also on my wish-list, but let`s make some money first Levi Ezra :).

Frank (a Dutchman living in the USA) posted below picture of new Saab 9-5NG`s waiting for a new owner on the Dutch Saab forum. They really are very cheap now, maybe interesting for other Saabists? Please follow the link to the Dutch Saab forum for more info.

Then something different. For my Saab 95 I have one gummi holder (see picture below) on the rear-facing folding seat. But original two of these holders are fitted and I am missing the other one. Does anyone have this holder for sale for me? It is the last thing I need to complete my 95 veteran... (edit: FOUND THE GUMMI HOLDER IN THE MEAN TIME).

Without the gummi holders fitted I can always use my Saab veteran as a 1st class hotel room according to this Saab commercial (my son really wants to go on holiday this way).

Nice Saab pictures

On the web I`ve found some nice Saab pictures so I`ve posted them on our Facebook page last week. I could not resist to post the "Winter Wonderland" Saab on this blog for the non-facebook Saabists.

Last week I`ve fitted a spoiler on my Saab 9-5, so I`ve made a picture myself too :). I`ve traded in my ugly black rims for aluminium ones, in my opinion my 9-5 is looking much better now.

The picture below is from a 96 I found somewhere for sale. I think these cars are underestimated classics. They are cheap to buy and to maintain. Maintanance is easy too. The only thing is that these cars need to sleep in a garage because the rustdevil likes these kind of Saabs very much.

Saab pictures

As I wrote on my latest post it takes time before new Saabs `ll be produced. Untill there are no interesting developments to mention I`ve decided to share pictures and Saab stories on this blog and our Facebook page. Yesterday I was in Lemmer (Friesland/Netherlands) and had some time left to visit the Saab dealer overthere (Saab Schaap). This dealer has an amazing Saab collection. I have made some pictures (with my phone), sorry for the low quality.
