It’s time to head back to the Land of Oz. I’m not sure when I’ll be back close to Sweden, but hopefully it’ll be sooner rather than later. I miss the place already.
My thanks to everyone who’s been so kind to me on this trip. I have a lot to write about when I get back home, all because so many people were so generous with their time while I was here.
Thanks to: Predrag, Ann-Marie, EVERYONE at Saab, Mats, Ingvar, Christian, Mike, Hilary, Mr Saab and Britt-Marie, Nic, Johan, Stefan, Ben and Dave. You’ve all made this trip extra-special and leaving is all the more difficult because of your friendship and generosity.
And with the teary farewell stuff out of the way, I can tell you there’s lots of good stuff to come. Time to go home and get down to it……
As the Netherlands are in chaos again due to some heavy snow (at present nearing 800 km of traffic queues), you have a safe flight back home, Steve, look after yourself.
I will be posting the goodie bag plus some added Dutch treats (remember the stroopwafels) to you.
Cobus says hullo.
And we will meet again, remember that.
greetings and a warm hug
Nic, Johan and “little” Cobus the mad black Lab 😉
Really enjoying your new blog, Swade, and the piece on Erik was simply tremendous. He’s a unique character as well as being so much a part of Saab history. I look forward to more of your stories.
Safe travels.

Have a safe trip back to Oz. At least it will be summer in Hobart. Enjoy that fine Tasi weather.
Thanks for all Swade ! If SAABs gets out of this and get restarted with new owners-they would be stuipied if they would take you back ! You have done a lot for SAAB ! Say hi to Tasmania for me. I was there in 2002 and it is still my best spot ever visited !

Of course I meant “they wouldn’t take you back ” They must so let’s pray SAAB re-starts !
Minus 15 C and 15 cm of snow here this morning, enjoy summer !
Does returning to OZ make you a snow bird?
