    2010 9-3X Yikes

    Hello all
    I have just last week traded my old Diahatsu Terios for a Black 9-3x, with 54.000miles wow what a car!!
    Always wanted one as back in 2000 I worked for the dreaded GM and was involved in the downsizing of Saab Uk, not pleasent, they soon got shot of me as well!!

    Quite a change going from a Daihatsu to a Saab. I had to look up what a Terios is and it doesn't look very exciting to drive. Or to look at.

    Congrats with the new 9-3X, may it bring many miles and smiles!

    Hi Wulk and thanks for the welcome
    Yes the Terios was good at bad roads but bad at good roads, 1.5 engine far to slow, the Saab however is the 1.9 ttid, goes like the wind itself.
    Cheers for now.

    In a couple of weeks, it may become an official border again. It'll be interesting to see what will happen on the 18th.

    Wulf et al, On the 19th the border will be the same as, for example, between Netherlands & Belgium or any other EU countries with a land border.
    The big difference, should there be a YES vote would be in April 2016 when Independence would take effect and more so if Scotland is excluded from the EU or if the UK votes to leave the EU!

    Sorting out SAAB's problems would be much easier to deal with !

    Hi There Gepe

    Yes it is a bit of a beast, the dealer I left the Terios with is trying like mad to get shot of it as well, while we are on the subject of getting 'shot of' good luck to all the Scotish Brothers & Sisters in next weeks vote, it will be riveting!!
