Yes i have defected to the Saab forum.My new 9-3 Aero with all the bells and whistles will be here by the 28th.
I'm taking a hit on power, down to 210 BHP but with all the added luxeries that come with it,such as a 13 speaker 300 watt stereo system,i can open the rear windows and crank the volume up if i need a bit more poke.
Its bye bye to Subaru's for a while due to the amount of cash they are losing on a daily basis and the trade in on my car was way to good to refuse.

Zippy dont do it - Think of your kids for pities sake. Picture the scene in one years time...........
Zippy : OK Kids are we all strapped in ready for the school run?
Kids : Yes Dad
Zippy: Good, I want to tell you a story........
Kids : Yeaaahhhh!!!
Zippy: Well believe it or not your dad was once the proud owner of the fastest Subaru Bugeye South West of Warrington!
Kids : No way Dad!!
Zippy: Way Kids! It made 292 bhp at the infamous Well Lane RR centre in Batley
Kids : Nahhhhh your pulling our legs - 292 bhp!! That wasnt possible from standard internals of that era?
Zippy: Your Dad used to have lots of cool subaru friends and one 'special' one called Pat. 16 McNuggets and 3 months pocket money bought you an afternoon of Pat and his laptop. Say no more .........nudge nudge wink wink
Kids : Thats amazing dad , I never knew you were that cool or popular.
Zippy : Eh Eh Calm down..... Your dad was somewhat of a legend in his day.
Kids : Just wait til we get to school and say that our dad used to own a 'Subaru' - our classmates will be so jealous!
Zippy : Hang on a minute Kids my Saab 9-3 with optional Pipe smokers pack is the envy of all you friends Grandads!
kids : I know you keep telling us this Dad but I would love to hear the purr of the infamous Flat 4 Boxer and not this Euro IV emission low pressure turbo whimper!
Zippy : But Kids you dont understand, If my exhaust is too loud then you wont be able to hear the quality Radio 2 tones of Terry Wogan blasting through the 13 hand-built swedish speakers.
Kids : Dad I know you mean well but we prefer it if you drop us off at school just BEFORE the school gates again today.

Mr Henderson,what did you want fixing on your Subaru next ?
Just remeber that Subaru's will no longer be my labour of love and my services in the future will not be FREE.
Holdcroft hourly rate = £62 + Vat
Zippy = £35 + Beer
As for my MY01 being the fastest Bugeye West of Warrington,yeah right it was the fastest in the North West.
Thats why you and the rest of the circling vultures want a piece of history on your cars hoping that some of my magic will rub off in some way.
We all must grow up sometime Mr 'H' and i'm just doing what you ALL will do in the future but when you come to get shut of your car you will only get offered an olly and a frog as trade in.
Onwards and upwards and all that, Abbott Racing have already had the call with regard the upgrade to the 9-3 (£560)for more power.
I will come to the meets to show you all what a well specced car should come like without spending thousands on bling wheels and spoilers with MR 'H'still being in pursuit of Zippys legendary MY01.
Zippy (Saab's will rule the earth)

Hey Zippy you are always welcome at Scooby meets to show off your Saab and 'Roll us your cap'. At least you can park in the disabled spots without arousing suspicion from the Manager 
Anyway after tirelessly surfing the web I have found a specialist tuning company for your new motor. Goto www.ikea.com , they do a terrific 'WÄNNÄBE' range of stick on scooby-look scoops!

Zippy's already started to tinker with his new Saab and heres a picture of him.
Zippy has taken to speaking Swedish now and the caption roughly translates to "Ooooh, I've found the turbo"

Remember this all you p#ss takers with Bugeyes,i would get some practise now, so when the dealer comes to rodger you it wont be so painfull.
Ohh Morf i might buy one of them cheap scoobys you drive to tow my new caravan.LOL.
12 more months and it will be you paying the dealer to take the fooking things off your hands,the prices are falling quicker than a Widnes teenagers knickers.
I have no regrets what so ever with changing and you all might be having a pop now but secretly you are all well and truly p#ssed as you know that the £21500 car you bought less than 2 years ago is worth £14K if you are very lucky.
Who's laughing now.
