How often do you go back? Or are you moving to Sweden permanently?

I have just arrived back in the office. Aside from the password to my email, these are the first words written by me back in Trollywood. Wonderful to be back – and even more wonderful that my 900 started first turn of the key after sitting a week longer than expected at the airport

Absolutely right. Everyone is getting a little hysterical over at SU; dire thoughts, political diatribes, unfounded rumors, illogical theories. It’s great to get news from the source. It’s even better that it’s well written, without unfounded speculation, and no doom and gloom (at least for now, and hopefully forever). As Sgt. Joe Friday used to say ”Just the facts, ma’am,”

Getting back to Trollhättan must feel like sticking you head into the bees honey pot: sweet, busy and sticky. For sure you already have been stung by the Saab working bees, but get protection for the summer mosquito stingers…
Enjoy!

Hi Swade and all the other Saab people out there. Just want to drop in and say Hi and a big thanks from myself as to keeping my spirits up with the situation with Saab. I can say I work within a dealer in the UK. Things have been and are now more than ever tough for us! All too often I hear negative comments surrounding Saab and I can tell you its very difficult to keep your spririts high. However I can always rely on a post from you Swade to keep me battling.

Getting the word out is exactly what I’d like to do. In addition to being a Saab nut (I have owned a few), I’m also a film student – looking to get into making commercials. To that end, I’ve decided to shoot a few spec (as in ‘speculation’, as in done of my own accord, and not commissioned by anyone) commercials for Saabs.

I’m hoping to draw on the Saab community for a little help in making these. I have 3 scripts written, for one I’ll need the services of someone who speaks Swedish (I’m in Utah in the USA, and there aren’t a lot of native speakers here), and for another I’d need the services of several vintage Saabs.

My plan is to film these and use them as sort of a CV for my own capabilities, but also to spread the word and the Saab love over the interwebs by showing off the beautiful new cars.
