For someone like me who has never bought shit looking cars, I wouldn't even look at a Saab. I wouldn't mind owning a new Volvo however, still hasn't got that something.....

Sort of '00s equivalent of a Lloyd Arabella - it seemed a start of really good idea.

It resulted in the Scooby getting a decentish interior, if nothing else.

Of course, GM f ucked THAT up, too. It didn't help that the next one was the Tribeca.

But a 9^5 off a Legacy plank would have made a lot of sense.

Shame. Back in late 70s a mate of mine bought a 900 with 120K miles and it ran soooooooooooo smooth and we hammered it for 18 months and it went soooooooooo shweeeet and then he sold it for same money as he'd paid for it. And he (Kev) also cut 2 or 3 of his fingers off working at a sawmill with FA H&S. The car was GOOD news but working at a sawmill wasn't......... Haven't seen him for at least 25 years......... Must get me another G&T

I knew a carpet fitter with a brown 99 & a missing finger.

Drinking quarts of Guinness & bolsters don't mix.
