I just stumbled upon the “donneysaab” channel – apparently Tom Donney of Tom Donney Motors – on Youtube. The channel has a few quite interesting Saab videos. Check these out: Saab two stroke head milling. How to properly relieve the Saab two stroke head for over sized pistons or to …
Since I already posted the video of a Saab 900 Police Car I decided to continue on the same topic. Here’s a few pics I shot of a 1968 Saab 99 Police Car and a Saab 900 Police Car. I don’t remember the model year of the 900, but I …
The Finnish Police still has one Saab 900 (16 valve 900i) in active duty. The car is more or less used as a backup and it is possibly going to museum sometime soon.

Uusi autotekniikka asettaa pelastustyöntekijöille aiemmasta poikkeavia haasteita vakavissa auto-onnettomuuksissa. Erikoisvahvat korirakenteet, turvatyynyt, ynnä muu moderni teknologia (esimerkiksi sähköautojen kaapeloinnit ja akustot), voivat vaikeuttaa ja hidastaa pelastustöitä merkittävästi.

Pelastuslaitoksilla on käytössään sähköinen järjestelmä, josta saadaan ruudulle kaavakuvat onnettomuusauton vahvistetuista rakenteista, turvatyynyistä, …
I just finished reading Graham Robsons book “Rally Giants – Saab 96 & V4”. I wasn’t expecting too much of it, since it was only 128 pages and the price was surprisingly reasonable at Amazon.com. But actually the book does give a nice overview of the Saab rallying efforts and …
I just stumbled on the FormulaSAAB site – the “Quantum Formula S Online Registry“. Great site with tons of info on these Saab racers. Information about the Quantum Formula S that is found in sources like company sales information, magazine articles, books, and letters. Restoration resources such as vendors, services …
Such a great little story about some DIY tuning on the two strokes – I had to repost this here. Here’s a shortened version of an eBay ad selling some pretty rare stuff: “These moulds have been in the back for almost 40 years, for some, it’s kind of like …
João C. from Portugal sent me a couple of very nice christmas gifts: Thank You João! I sent a little something your way also… 🙂 – – – – – – – – – I also finally decided to buy the Saab two stroke tuning manual by Niklas Enander of …
I came accross these new 9-5 assembly line photos when searching the Saab Media Online for some editorial images for the Saabisti magazine. They were so cool I decided to post them here too (they are free for editorial/non-commercial use).
A few pictures of a pretty wild Saab 96 V6 “rallycar” made for a movie called “Kummeli Stories”. There were two cars made, one that could be blown to bits and then reassembled again (and blown to bits again) and this “hero” version for the driving scenes.
