Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

Another just

No, fling pu isn't back anytime soon. Not for me anyway. But with car numbers 229 and 230 I couldn't resist. This is Ray's old ride BTW, the rx3 so proudly displayed in the mazdasport mag when it was Fling Pu green.

(Though I'd LOVE to have it for myself) I spent some time talking to his supercool wife and helped push the car around in the parking lot at the Saab Owner's Convention in Ohio a couple of weeks ago. His daughter was there as well, driving their white 9-5 shop car. Jack and his family rock. That car gave me more wood than most anything else at the convention. I'm very glad to have met him and had him as an instructor. If you go by the shop, tell him the guy he instructed in the 900 says 'hi'. No need to apologize for the novel. I enjoyed it. Here's a shot that another Saaber took of Jack's car and Jack's wife standing in the background: Here's Jack, his daughter and the car:

WOW! I haven't seen Jack in ages, I thought the poor thing had suffered the fate of most old race cars. Gives me a great chuckle to see he's still got it..and that Theresa's still there! Great lady, but we used to live in fear of her. When things were going weird at the shop, the greatest threat was, "Don't make me come down there myself!" from her over the `phone.

EDIT: forgot a hotlink. We had a nice customer in the late 80s that still drove her stock original 99 EMS Turbo. I don't have a pic of that car, so here's a SAAB ad photo..

Yep, that's right. Ferrari built a two liter version of the V8.

some of the first people to prove to me that front wheel drive could be fun were Saabers

There was a really interesting show about the Concorde on Smithsonian HD last night. Couldn't stop watching it.

Mazda rally cars just look right! Thanks for posting.

Sticking with the Saab theme, here's a new 9-5.

Amateurs, spacer stack to space goes on the front wheels! More better scrub radius that way.

Given the license plate, I think he realizes how absurd that is.

Golly that's a big wing.

Did you say big wing? That wing was meh, but the exhaust looks huge!

This is rally big, but real wing.

The Wandering Albatross has the largest wingspan of any living bird, with the wingspan between 2.51–3.50 m (8.2–11.5 ft).

^reminds me of this.
