Thumbs up

OK Big G i wont tease any more (unlike some people would ) its short for
Scooby In A Lake.

It refers to a far too often posted picture of a scooby almost completley submerged in an ice covered lake and is trotted out every time something is posted as new or unseen before but in fact has been posted about a few times alreadyb QED .

or in more simple terms I,m afraid the saabaru is old news

Oops, I really must get them to let me out of this darkened room with no windows more often.

Only been on here for 2 months so did not know of it, must research before I post in future.

By the way, is it true that they now make phones that you can carry in your pocket ?

Default No phone any more

I used to have 2 baked bean tins with string, but, I gave one to the neighbour to weld on to the end of his Passat's exhaust to make it look like a hot car, he used the other one to make a bonnet air scoop with, I am now left with a length of useless string.
There is a knock at the door,.....neighbour wants the string to tie up his back box, extra weight on the exhaust has caused the mounting to break.

Never owned a semaphore, wonder what the neighbour would have used that for on his passat?

This is actually a production car, running 225ps, its not coming to europe though, just to the US, and yes due to GM they are apart of the same family.

For all those who think this is a SIAL, just look at the saab usa site as posted below

Default Semaphore

Neighbours just knocked on the door again, asked if I had an old semaphore, wants to make a tailgate spoiler with it. I said no, use your ironing board.

It's basically an Impreza Wagon dressed up as a SAAB and sold to unsuspecting Americans.
