So, I've decided to plunge headfirst into the wonderful world of classic car ownership.
Recently I met a local Saab enthusiast, who was forced to sell his beautifully restored 1984 Saab 900 Turbo 16S Aero. I was at the right place, at the right time, and had an opportunity to purchace something quite special.
Meet my new car - 1984 Saab 900 Turbo 16S Aero. Top-of-the-line model at the time, it has 2-litre turbocharged engine with 129 kw, FWD and 5-speed manual gearbox. The car has deep metallic black exterior color mated with burgundy red leather interior - very sexy combination.
It is a vehicle that offers a driving experience as rewarding and unique as its character. Picture this - you are sitting in a deep and comfortable seat, smelling mixed aroma of oil and leather (with a hint of gasoline). Step on the accelerator - there is a huge turbo lag at first, then a torque steer with violent thrust forward. You are always surrounded by the faint whining sound made by gearbox. Everything feels so mechanical and robust. I mean, it's bloody fantastic.
Here are couple of pics, please excuse the quality. I really ought to make a better set.... No promises though.
