I can't believe that no one caught the black SAAB 900 SPG in an old James Bond movie - Thunderball was it? I can't remember now damn it! - It was on TV the other day and I've been meaning to rent it just for that scene - I think they roasted it too - poor car... Also, the movie with Dudley Moore about the Ad company? I even have the quote on my web site (webhome.idirect.com/~kerrhens) - 'If you don't drive a SAAB you belong in a mental institution'....some wise words!! - one of the nuts dreams of owning an old 99, and when he gets one falls in love with it all over again when it won't start...a wonderful commentary on the growth of SAAB engineering (except for 9000's I guess...) Doesn't anyone watch Seinfeld? The guy drives a number of 900's, depending on the year - the man loves Porsches too - good taste through and through!!
