Hello Tom, hello dear SAAB community,

Today, post from SAAB Germany has fluttered into my mailbox.
A letter of thanks for participating in the photo competition on saabblog.net and reaching the final selection. The contents of the envelope were crowned with two great “SAAB More than a car” stickers.

Thanks to SAAB Germany and thanks to Tom for countless hours of work and his indispensable commitment to the saabblog, so for us readers.

All a Merry Christmas, a healthy and sweet new year 2013.

Hi Tom,
something is wrong. I can already vote 3 times ... from the same IP address.
Is that intended?

Maybe I was wrong too. I noticed that from my cell phone and laptop ...

In my opinion, the quality of the photos should play a small role in the selection. At least with 20 percent ... That says a hobby photographer with SLR camera and unfortunately without Saab to take pictures ...

Dear Volker, thank you very much for the “flowers” ​​!!! It is of course not a challenge to drive a new Saab to the high peaks of the mountains, but I don't think this competition was about that. But I am sure that you would have made it with your almost 30-year-old Saab! And if it shouldn't, I can assure you that if necessary I would have towed you and your caravan so that we can both enjoy the view up there !!! Kind regards from Spain.

Hello Saabgemeinde,

if SAAB had sold more new vehicles in the past, there probably would not be this Saabblog and we could not talk about the future in the Saabblog.
The brand SAAB could have survived, if more car buyers had opted for a new SAAB. Also, the new models were very good and unique vehicles.
With the old 900 Turbo, survival would not have been possible.

But I also think that only a few Alt-Saabs have made it to the preselection. Regardless of the quality of the Bilder.Denn it is not a big challenge to drive with a new car on the highest peak of the Dolomites. The matter looks quite different when I drive with a nearly 30 years old SAAB and caravan on vacation. The car must be top before going on holiday because you get in some European countries no spare parts on the way. That's why I always have a larger number of spare parts with it.

It is to be hoped that SAAB PARTS could hold a classics department for these old vehicles.
Even with a Classikabteilung can make good money.

But I also have to admit with envy that the holiday picture of the SAAB 9-3 in the Dolomites is really beautiful
is to be considered.

Many thanks from HH to Tom for his good and always up-to-date SAAB reports.

Hallo,

Unfortunately, I had failed, in contrast to all others :-), to give my picture the place of the recording. Therefore, therefore, the addendum:
Ronny's Saab was recorded in Freyburg / Unstrut (not as expected in Tuscany).
Great action, lots of great pictures! Thanks to the blog team.

Greetings, currently from the snowy Thuringia

It's a shame that there are so few old Saabs here too ... after all, the Saab community tries like no other to keep a lot of old Saabs running without any spare parts support from the manufacturer, i.e. Saab parts. This selection confirms once again that Saab didn't care much about its own story even before NEVS.

Now you are wrong, because it can only be published images that have been sent by fans. Little classic = few photos. It is not due to the bloggers or the abused SAAB Parts. Make you happy that someone does the work and holds up our brand!

Hello perret,
what does it have to do with Saab Parts that fewer photos of "old Saabs" exist or are included than of newer models? That is clearly up to us!
Too bad that is criticized again and again only!

I can remember a lot of Saab 901 / and even Saab 90 pictures, hardly any has made it to the final round, and that can not be due to the quality of the pictures (for example, when I think of the black 901 on the Baltic Sea).

Saab Parts made the preselection, I only criticize the (always been) ignorant parts supply for old Saab - * cough * Mercedes classic, BMW classic * cough *

No, no conspiracy, just ignorance, because market-relevant.

By the way, there were also very nice 96 photos in the preselection ...

Regarding the black 901 on the Baltic Sea, I have to agree with you. I was pretty sure I saw him in the final ...

For compensatory justice:
At saab-cars.de it's exactly the other way around, every year there is a “dispute” because (almost) only scrap iron has made it into the calendar again (my yellow from 2008 was already there twice: 201172012).

Dear Saabgemeinde, just a small correction on my part. My convertible is in front of the highest peak of the Dolomites MARMOLADA and not Marmelada as it is written here. Could it be that Tom typed at the breakfast table? Another “e” at the end of the name and I would be convinced of this ... ;-)))
