What a life and what a story! This is the moving story of Billy Braver. He started his career as a comedian and worked for Saab as a salesman. When the economy turned bad and making a living selling Saabs became difficult, he decided to become a professional comedian again.
His destiny has been mixed with the destiny of Saab.

Great bunch of pictures coming from Karlstad in Sweden where a couple of Saab friends took photos of their 96 on the ice and raced them around a track on a frozen lake.

I found this link to a video which appears to be of the same event. What a great view of the track through the windshield, accompanied by some wonderful sounds of the engine.

My friend Robert , Saab lover, has posted an incredible album of photos on Flickr he took at the Uusikaupunki Automuseo last week. It's located just outside the Valmet factory (old Saab factory). I was told that the museum was founded by a local car collector, and it contains his collections and a lot of Valmet produced cars and Valmet prototype cars.
In total it's three big rooms with cars, two of them with mostly Saabs. The third contains other brands. It's a lot of old Saabs, maybe even more than the Saab museum in Trollhättan. The museum has 14400 visitors every year, and could be open all year because of financial support from Valmet Automotive and the city. The factory started in 1968 with the Saab 99, and I think they made the Saab 96 as well.

Rally legend Erik Carlsson is to support the centenary celebrations of the Monte Carlo Rally by backing a team who will compete in this week’s XIVth Monte Carlo Historique rally in an exact replica of the car that took him to victory back in 1963.
The classic Saab 96 has been created by German vintage car magazine Oldtimer Markt and will be driven by chief editor Peter Steinfurth and navigator Thorsten Loeber .They will take the start at Reims this Friday (28 January) in a car that recreates the original in every detail, right down to the 283 entry number Erik used that year. He will be on hand to wave them off.
The exploits of Erik, aka ‘On the Roof’, Carlsson helped put Saab on the automotive map in the 1960s. He is a double winner of the Monte Carlo Rally in 1962 and 1963 and also took a hat-trick of RAC Rally victories in 1960-62. Now 82 years old, Erik was born in Trollhättan, Sweden, the home town of Saab, and was a works driver for the company throughout his career. Today, he is still employed as a roving ambassador for Saab.

Erik Liljas loves to play with snow. And last year he wanted to deliver a message of hope by carving in snow a Saab 92. An internet buzz has been emerging around this sculpture and this year Erik wanted to replay the same idea with a Saab 900 thanks to the help of his children. Because he loves to see people passing by, watching his chef d'oeuvre from the street. But also because in Erik's family we all do love Saab since years.
Erik knows how to do it and his tools are a picture , a lot of snow and water. It has taken 50 hours to do it clean. And the result survived last year from Christmas until the end of March. Erik hopes it will be the same this year and swear to do it again next year with another model of Saab. Well done Erik! ...
