As if by miracle, the torrential rains took a break, the skies cleared and the winds died down to watch over another gathering of our Swedish creations at the inimitable Caffeine and Machine last night.

As the clock rolled on and the sunlight faded, more and more inspirational Saabs rolled in; 2 900 Carlssons graced us with their presence, whilst many 93’s of all generations proved how timeless their design is over and over again, from an early jewel like blue HOT Aero with tan interior to a superb last generation Griffin V6 black convertible.

The silver Hirsch 95 Sportwagon made its inaugural appearance and joined a few other 95s including a beautifully modified silver Aero, and a seriously desirable last generation 95 TTiD Aero saloon in black with tan leather; a real vision of what Saab had in store for us if it wasn’t for their untimely disappearance.

Caffeine and Machine did it’s thing and gave us a backdrop of hospitality and style, food and drink as good as ever and plenty of friendly faces from the Saab community to while away a few hours with.

For a Monday evening it was an impressive showing and more than enough Saabs to wonder around and gather a few great photos. Looking forward to the next one, and thanks goes to Steve from Saab Club GB for organising it and bringing us all together again.

Saab Gathering at Caffeine & Machine

March 31, 2023 Eleven

I’ve long been a fan of Caffeine & Machine, it has set its stall out perfectly as a destination for petrolheads, a place for likeminded folk to gather, chat cars, eat great food and grab a coffee or beer. Having taken along numerous cars, from the Aston Vantage and Mercedes E320 to the Porsche Outlaw builds and Daimler, I’ve never taken any of my Saabs, until now.

Saab Club GB have kindly arranged a takeover of Caffeine & Machine for an evening; Monday 26th June. I can imagine this being over subscribed, so if you fancy a night with a load of other Saabs folk, I’ve suggest pre-booking your space. Tickets are £10 per car, but you then get £5 off any food or drink you buy, and you’ll defiantly need a burger whilst wondering around plenty of gorgeous Saabs to droll over, it’s hungry work after all.

I’m hoping the Turbo X or the Graphite Green 9-5 will carry me safely to the destination, and with it, my trusty camera to grab a few photos throughout the evening.
