I don't know either, but I reckon we might be able to start up a West Yorkshire SOC branch now a couple of lads from down Derbyshire have moved up and there seems to be a few more people around the area showing some interest. Aside from a few around Leeds, some in Bradford, I know of at least three in Ilkley, a couple in Shipley and I've seen a few regular waves in Halifax. That's just C900s and 99s. There must be loads of more recent owners who'd be interested. I'll chat to the lads on Sunday and have a word with a couple of the others and someone at the SOC ... See where it goes. I was kind of hoping we might make this mini-meet a little more regular than just a one-off. We'll see ... As it happens, it looks like I'll have to turn up on Sunday in our Italian funny car, rather than the SAAB. Aeromotive are doing a great job with the white whale's further renovations at the moment and Phil said, "maybe Monday night". Grrr! Ho-hum! I'd rather they did their thing without being rushed ... You know :) She sailed the MOT, BTW :) I have my headliner out and I'm about to re-cover it. Phil said you'd done yours ... Did you do it yourself, or use Darren Archer in Cleckheaton? I'm pretty sure I'll do it myself with loads of wallpaper paste to harden it and then black leatherette :o Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
