So really it's the complete opposite of a spitfire then, I can see why the sensible spitfire owner would want a car like this. I've gone off Saab's ever since I moved in with a Swedish guy who I thought I knew quite well but ended up being a complete psychopath (I shant use the expletives I usually use) - he had a real thing for Saab's. We ended up throwing him out of the house. Im not a violent person normally - but I really wanted to hurt this guy. Thats how bad he was... I think I should point out that I also know 2 Swedish girls - and they're perfectly nice. Im not basing my opinion of an entire nation based on one guy :) James /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
