You’ve seen the three contenders and you probably should have seen a poll coming at the end of this. The results of the poll won’t influence my decision, but it’ll be interesting to see the distribution of votes. How many secret RS Megane fans are out there?

Swade here. I’d like you to welcome a mate of mine, Pete, to the pages of Swadeology. You might have seen him around before, with the title “PT”. Pete and I met via the shared Saab experience – he’s been the owner of several Swedes and currently has a 9-3 SportCombi in the family garage. He’s around my age, very
I’m buying a new car at the end of this week and I have a few options to choose from. Option 1 is an Alfa Romeo GTV6. Option 2 is a Saab 9-3 Viggen.

I have a flight booked for Sydney at the end of next week and I sincerely hope I won’t be flying home. It’s car shopping time! Over the next three posts, I’m going to present three vehicles. I’m pretty sure I know which one I’ll purchase, but I won’t buy it at any price. I’m going to need the seller
My wife and I play a lot of backgammon. We used to record our backgammon scores in a book. Over time, those yearly books became a bit like an old family bible. The book for any given year would record events, aspirations, goals, achievements. At the start of 2005, one of my listed goals in the backgammon book for that

Ciao! Today in Hobart, the Italian community put on their annual Festa Italia and the one car club I’m still a paid member of, Club Motori Italia, were asked to provide some Italian rolling stock to beautify the street. Although I don’t have an Italian car anymore, I figured it might be fun to go along, if only just to
That website work I mentioned a few days ago? It’s now online. Over the last few weeks I’ve had the good fortune of being able to work with the guys from Koenigsegg on their new website, which went live last night.
