Johan doesn't know the first thing about the Saab company. Eric "On the Roof" Carlsson is a living legend who one just about all the great rally's in the 50's and 60's in a 2 stroke 96. He earned his nick name because he once finished a ralley upside down. Ie the weels were up instead of the roof. He also holds the worldrecord for wrecking saabs. As a testdrive he ran at least 50 or so 99's in to the ground. later he tested the 900 and the famnous ballet for 4 9000 was directed by him. Saab felt they had to honour him during his lifetime and named the limited Carlsson after him I woul dsuggest a good book on the history of our beloved plane factory would be a nice christmas gift for Johan!
