Article: Photos of recent SAAB meet Hyvinkää, Finland

Just thought i would share some photos of the recent SAAB meeting in Hyvinkää. some really beautiful cars there and most are driven daily :cool:
it is impossible to go more than an hour in Finland without seeing a handful of SAABs and you see maybe 3-4 older (95, 96) models a week, especially outside of the cities.
Simo Lampinen attends this show every year, but this year he didn't have his 96

Thanks for sharing! Were you there on vacation?

I am lucky when I see any Saab once a week where I live, must be nice to see so many on the road and especially the older ones.

(Sorry, I hadn't realized i posted this in the marketplace section :oops:)

Yes, I was there June - August. My fiancee is from there so I am lucky enough to be able to travel there quite a bit with free lodging at her families place :cool:
the opal green 96 is hers, last summer we went, stripped it down and painted it.

Yeah coming back to the states and seeing so few is really a downer. it really is weird how classic cars here are so rarely driven.

Very nice pictures, do you have a picture on the orange Saab 96 with lowered roof, that i can see in some of your pics? That one looks interesting :)
