All carb gaskets now made new. Old ones were paper and leaking everywhere, but I made new patterns and cut them out of proper material. Finally got the "cold start regulator", ie. choke, to work properly after getting help from Bruce Turk on FB and others on the Saab site. Retorqued the heads as per the instructions of the Saab guru, Tom Donney and the manuals. Flushed cooling system and drained. All new coolant.....then I was off again. Yup, this time buzzed Stan, but only at 4500...

A very quick video that you'll have to click on to make play and make sure the sound is not muted(top right on the video)! I was taking it easy on the throttle as I was on my street and I'd rather not annoy my neighbours....too much!

Cops can't give a ticket on the basis of "sounds fast" can they? Laurie and I did take the Saab to the A&W Ladysmith Thursday night get together. It was fun, but as usual, the American Muscle guys were totally uninterested, lol! One VW from the Ladysmith Show last year..

Get away Saab in the movies
A video of one of the Saab Gurus (Tom Donney established the Saab Museum in Sturgis(yes, that Sturgis) a few years ago). Nice guy, has even taken my phone calls and answered texts when I was in a bind. It has a connection of sorts to the previous video

That first video also features a lot of VW spotting in it as well. Makes lots of sweet noises, but probably not that fast as a getaway car. Unless Don was driving it!
