Me too. ‘02 manual in black. Great car. Seems everyone here likes the same cars, maseratis, Alfa’s and Saab’s!

I have to second your comments about Saab 9-5s.
I drove a 2.0t saloon twenty years ago and it was very comfortable. But wallowed like a battleship when going around any kind of corner.
My mobility varies a lot, so I bought a cheap Aero Anniversary (2.3) that had to be an auto, as a daily driver, last summer.
(My car is almost identical to the one below.) Although I'm not doing many miles currently, I needed something with good seats. Like a Saab or Volvo T5 etc
I believe someone's 'breathed' on it, because I only have to put the lightest pressure on the accelerator and its off like a scalded cat. Its a 'sleeper' on purpose, because of the traffic police unit a few miles away. So looks completely standard. Putting it on a dyno when I can be bothered, to satisfy my curiosity.

Its an 08 car and apart from putting in uprated bulbs, I've not had to do anything to it.

Today 52 years ago I drove for the first time legally in daylight.
In Finland you can start driving 3 months before the 18th birthday with ‘L-plates’.
I could not wait a day longer.
My Hertta-mother was obliged to sit next to me until 27th of April.…
I still remember the sensational feeling of liberty. The world was open for me.
Everything was possible.
It feels as if it was yesterday.
I still have the same feeling when I drive.
What a gift of Life!

Cool...I thought I was looking at a 924/8/Targa mash-up or something (with a side helping of RWB )
It’s really not horrible....but 0-60 in 16 secs. Wow.... :as002:
