Getting the two-stroke ready for the summer – done
The two-stroke is ready for the driving season. There’s actually a Saab-Club Finland spring meeting a week from now and I decided to take the stroker there.
Getting the two-stroke ready for the summer

Hankis – Hankirallia vuodesta 1955.
A shorter version of this article in English at www.saabworks.fi Hankiralli-yhdistys ry on tehnyt merkittävän kulttuuriteon suomalaisen ralliautoilun historian tallentamisessa kustantaessaan “Hankis”-kirjan. Kirja käsittelee Hankirallin yli 50-vuotista taivalta aina vuodesta 1955 vuoteen 1994, johon varsinaisten pitkien Hankirallien voidaan katsoa päättyneen. Kirjan kirjoittajana on pääosin toiminut Esa Illoinen. Työryhmän jäseninä puolestaan …
