		In 1960 the Saab 93f was being replaced by the Saab 96 and a new 750 cc engine was developed.
		These ideas led to the creation of the Formula Junior race cars with which Saab surprised the motor racing world in the late fall of 1960.
		The design was (of course) advanced, instead of using a spaceframe chassis like the others Saab chose to construct an advanced monocoque car.

		The problem is, during its 50-odd-year history, Saab vehicles have been a little of everything-two-strokes and four-strokes; hatchbacks, sedans and coupes; V-4s and V-6s and in-line fours, turbos and normally aspirated; front- and all-wheel drive.
		The 9-7X, Saab's first true SUV, removes the Swedish aspect another half-turn around the globe in the other direction, plunking the brand down in the middle of Moraine, Ohio, where the 9-7X is built alongside the very similar mid-size SUVs sold by Chevrolet, GMC and Buick.
		Saab says the 9-7X is tuned to be more of a driver's vehicle than its American cousins.

	FORMULA ONE RACING AND THE FIA FEDERATION INTERNATIONAL DE LA AUTOMOBILE
		Formula One teams must build the chassis in which they compete, and consequently the terms "team" and "constructor" are more or less interchangeable; this requirement distinguishes the sport from "spec series" such as IRL, CART, Formula 3000 and NASCAR.
		Entering a (new) team in the Formula One World Championship requires a £25 million up-front payment to the FIA, which is then repaid to the team over the season.
		Throughout the 2004 season, Formula One Management president Bernie Ecclestone repeatedly voiced his disapproval of the Silverstone Circuit, and suggested that unless its owners, the British Racing Drivers Club, modernise the facilities, the British Grand Prix would not appear on the 2005 schedule.

		The car was flushed and filled at a Saab dealer not to long ago.
		My local dealer sells a one gallon jug of Saab branded antifreeze for about $10, and the Pentosin stuff is about $10.00 for only 1.5 liters, or less than half as much.
		Be that as it may, But I would spring for the costly Pentosin if the formula is so good that head gasket problems can be averted until 250K miles.

	The_Quantum_Series
		A handful of attendees at the 2000 Saab Owner's Convention in Kerhonkson, New York were lucky enough to see Bud Clark, Dave Hosmer, and Ralph Millet present a history of the Quantum, complete with with home movies of the road tests performed at Lime Rock Race Park back in the 60's.
		However, Saab executives in Sweden balked at the idea, asserting that Saab could develop its own sports car if needed, and as a result, the Swedish-designed Catherina, MFI 13, and ultimately Sonett came into being, while Walter's Quantums went into private hands back here in the states.
		These cars were designed as Formula S racers, not unlike the Formula Junior, but with the motor mounted in back.

		He then entered competitive karting and won several races before racing in England, Europe and winning the 1998 F3000 title in a close race with Nick Heidfeld.
		Without wishing to harp on about it too much, it won't be long before 'the majority' (or whatever you want to call 'nearly everyone') hold the 26-year old German in equal esteem with his brother Michael, thanks to a bit of powerful BMW grunt.
		Off the track, the birth of Ralf's first baby, son David in October and a secretive marriage to fiancée Cora Brinkmann just before the baby's birth, has led to a secure domestic setup in Ralf's new adopted home country of Austria.

		Sason conducted freelance work but was soon commissioned by Saab to adapt his design for full scale production.

		I was fortunate to have met a nice Swedish family that I shared a car with who helped me translate the few Swedish words I was unfamiliar with from a man in his early twenties in the car ahead of us who recently used to work at the factory.
		Next time I get over to Sweden for a Saab Festival, I think that camping is the way to go because it seems more relaxed and the environment seems to easily lend itself to meeting others opposed to traditional lodging.
		There were numerous classes of races that began from the strokers to the V4s, to the classic 900s, 9000s and finally the special performance groups of 9-3 Viggens, SPGs, etc. I was particularly impressed by the performance and well-kept vintage racecars that filled the track that day.

		A Saab tech that I knew told me to stay away from those, but other than that, I haven't heard much negative about the new 9-3.
		The 9-5s are still Saab powered, and are a bit roomier than the 9-3s.
		I don't like the way GM has been bastardizing the Saab name lately (re-badged Imprezas and Trailblazers), but the 9-5 is still a good car in the bunch.
