SAAB VS. SCEPTICISM

Mission IntSaab2023

Your mission, should you choose to take it, is to attend the International Saab Gathering at Gaydon, England, make contact with, and intercept two Spanish Saabists and make a discreet exchange of valuable Saab assets.

It sounds a little far fetched, but sadly, due to an immanent house move, I couldn't attend IntSaab2023. I'd arranged to meet up with a friend of a friend to exchange a rare Abbott Racing spoiler for an equally rare Troll R badge, the exchange looked unlikely, but at the eleventh hour, another friend told me he was heading over on the Saturday and would happily take my place. The Saab contacts were met and the exchange made thanks to all involved; I am hugely grateful.

I still had one last mission; to take photos of the event so even though I couldn't make it myself, I'd be able to feature a few memories from the day. My friend Jan completed both missions with ease and even got invited along to the next Saab meet, it just goes to prove how accepting our global Saab community really is.
