Hi Fredrik, Yep, I'm sure. Over 20 years. Bought my first, a 2 door 99, in late 1973 or early 1974 in Canberra. Paid under $4000 for it! I've never liked the 5 door hatchback Saabs, and have never owned one. My later 99's were also 2 door and my 900's were all 4 door sedans, so the 9-5 followed the same roots as all my others, and it looked like a Saab too. Can't remember now how many we have had: at one stage we had 4 in the family, 2 99's for the kids and 2 900's for the wife and myself. I think the total number is either 7 or 8. >Have I understood you correct, the turn indicator switch is on the right >side of the steering wheel? No. The steering wheel is on the right side of the car but the turn indicators are on the left hand side of the steering wheel. All Australian made cars and most imported models in Oz have the turn indicators on the right hand side of the steering wheel. We drive on the left hand side of the road here in Oz. >To baad you missed the 9000 CS, a real SAAB. As you describe every beauty of >the SAAB as ugly and/or unergonomic I think that you should really try the old Volvo 245 - >you'll love it. I skipped the 9000 because they didn't look like a Saab. It was probably a good car, but I never drove one. Our neighbours have one about 6 years old and they love it still. My family still has two Volvo's - both 240's, one a station sedan, and they are OK but getting a bit old and truckish. > -- _--_|\ Peter Wilkins Email : wilkinspnopsamnet.au / \ 2/24 Cove Avenue Phone/Fax : +61 2 9977 2395 \_.--._* MANLY, NSW, 2095, Mobile: 0417 415 014 v AUSTRALIA
