Contender: E46 BMW M3

The Alfa is now up for sale and (as anyone who knows me could have predicted) another car has popped up on my radar for use as our road-trip car later this year. Current contenders are the Porsche Boxster S and the Alfa Romeo Brera. I’ve got a few more to explore, too, but while I was trawling through brands […]

Vale Nic Schellekens

It’s with a very heavy heart that I write today about the sudden passing of one of the pillars of the online Saab community in general and the Dutch Saab community in particular – Nic Schellekens.
