Lovely interview with your dad and his SAAB history! Nice to hear he owned a 9000 amongst a range of cars. I was shocked to hear of his Rover 800 experiences, pretty poor. I owned a few examples of the more powerful Rover 827 (2.7) V6, in manual form in both saloon and later coupe form. They were excellent cars and performed very well. I still own a Rover in the form of a 1974 P6B 3500S, alongside my lovely 1997 9000 manual Aero.

Mark says in your film that its 'most unusual for a SAAB owner to own a 9000', interesting comment...WHY? When he is also driving a 9-3 AERO based on a GM Vauxhall floor pan. Yes the 9000 was based on a FIAT generated floor pan shared through a number of Italian marks, but SAAB had a lot of input into their 9000 more than many people think, more 9000s sold than any of the other versions.

Greetings from Australia - great film. Always fancied a SAAB and finally did something about it a year ago. Finally found a nice 1997 9000 AERO 5-speed after a long search, which hadn't been thrashed and was well looked after, including a Quaife LSD. It still looks new, in all areas, paint and interior trim, no rust+ etc. The 9000 AERO seats are a joy.

Very interesting episode, both for the SAAB content and the music content. I really wanted a 9-3 Sportcombi when I went out shopping for my 9-3 several years ago, as they are such a great looking and practical car, unfortunately there just weren't any good ones available at the time. Never mind. Very jealous of people who have musical talent and live their dream. Bought an electric guitar and amp many years ago and thought I would see if I was naturally talented. Turns out I wasn't 😂😂 Never mind.

Hello from Australia, just discovered your channel and subscribed. What a lovely meet of SAABs at the Ace Cafe, with owners sharing their stories - the owners experiences really bring it to life. I've had many old English cars in my life, but at the same time always admired SAAB as a maker, personally the 9000 AERO from 1997. Recently after much searching, looking at abused high mileage examples etc I found a 2-owner 1997 AERO 5-speed manual. Very well looked after, interior and exterior like new with full service history. I feel blessed in finding it, they are quite rare in Australia compared to earlier and later GM models.

My 2011 9-3 TTid has shown a maximum of 47.8mpg over around 700 miles per month but usually it's around 46.something, that is almost all of B roads though. It's also a estate but the turbo edition made by Spyker. It does have a Maptun tune on it though so it's putting out around 220 Bhp and its also an automatic. My first Saab ( first car really ) was a 95 V4 estate back in around 1988.
