Hahaha, why am I not surprised that Brian's car was the first one posted. See if you can get a ride in that thing, it's absolutely ridiculous. Anyways, have fun everyone, I am jealous of each and every one of you who was able to go this year. This is the 2nd year in a row that I have had to work grrrr :evil:.

Also, how do you like those gauges I made for Brian?

Kudos to CPSC, WASSAAB & SAABLINK.NET

Thanx to everyone involved in making the 2010 edition of SAABS@Carlisle a smashing success. 219 SAABs on the showfield (and my 900 CommEd in the parking lot), the largest turnout ever. Great lunch buffet (sorry I couldn't stay for dinner and a movie). Here are a few images seen in my Nikon lens.

Jim Miller's Commemorative Edition (#116), Driver's Side. I hope mine turns out half as nice.
Image


Here's the Passenger Side (a virtually flawless paint job).
Image


And the parts that make it GO!
Image


This fine '85 SPG was once Immo's and is now one of Tweek's Turbos.
Image


As if this SPG wasn't nice enough...
Image


...check out the "tip-of-the-cap" to Spyker.
Image


Bill Jacobson drove his one-off '91 SPG white vert from Wilmington.
Image


Here's an exceptional 99EMS.
Image


Looks like this 9.3 has plenty of "jets." Got Griffin?
Image


Here's an Ultima GTR, coming...
Image


...and going.
Image


And on the inside...

You're having a great time it seems! I'm still sad I couldn't make it but I promise I'll be the first to sign up for the next one!

Thanks for uploading photos (specially with a Nikon lens :p)

I know this is over in a few hours, but I'm in PA on a family reunion road trip. The bottom end blew up and left us stranded for a bit, and the car is 500 miles from home. It's off Rt 80 at a shop, about an hour and fifteen minutes North of Carlisle. If anyone wants to have it towed away, as in buy it for parts/rebuild, Monday would be THE DAY to do it, as that is when I am passing back through PA back to MA. Get in touch with me by sending me a message. I'll make a thread with more details/pics/etc.

Hope your Carlisle weekends were better than mine!

Well, I'm responding from work - same place and time I was yesterday - and the previous four weekends ........ not to mention that I'm still getting my "aseptic" engine back together. Working all these weekends hasn't helped, but at this point it's neccesary, and the O/T is sweet.

Perry,

I stand corrected. Either way, the homage stickers are great. Any chance they might be available somewhere for other like-minded "subjects?"

Overlords stickers and t-shirts

Perry,

Let me know as soon as you have items available. I'm a 2XL t-shirt size. I hope you plan to go with white type on black shirts. Yours looked great.

Do you plan to be at SOC in July? My guess is your slogan would be a big hit...perhaps even with Victor Muller (you never know). ;)

Im slightly modifying it for mass production adding my idea of a Saab /Spyker logo and "All Hail Victor!" to the back.

With as much interest as there has been I will post a link once I have the price figured out...... tomorrow taking orders , hopefully tomorrow.

If you're entertaining suggestions, I think the "flight" aspect of both the SAAB and Spyker logos would be a natural way to go.

If you have a PayPal account, I'll gladly place the first order.
