Morning all,

Thought I'd say a quick hello. I signed onto here a long time ago when I owned my first Saab. It was a 9-3 wagon 1.9tid which despite only owning for 6-7 months I really loved. This was way back in 2014!

Fast forward to 2022 and I'm on the hunt for a daily car, I'd been running a Shogun Sport 2.5 diesel which as fun (and slow!) as it was, was not really ideal for what I needed. I was doing a thousand motorway miles per month. I wanted a car that wasn't super expensive to buy or run but had some character, so it had to be a Saab. I ended up with a 2008 9-3 1.9ttid convertible. It's serving me well and still makes me smile as a daily car, I have now halved my miles but no plan to get rid.

I also picked up another 9-3 as a bit of a project/weekender. It's as 2010 2.8 V6 Aero and has XWD and the TX pack so is quite a rare spec and a good laugh to drive too.

Thanks Rob, I actually lied, looks like I bought my first Saab in 2015 judging by when I joined the forum haha.
