If you’re a Saab fan – especially if you’re a vintage Saab fan – then you MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO. The guys from /Drive, the same mob who brought us the Inside Koenigsegg series of videos, spent some time with Bruce Turk and his Saab 96 rally car. The result is 27 minutes of information, sights and glorious, glorious sound […]

You’ve probably heard about or seen this garage already. I’ve seen photo-features on a few different websites over the years, but I’ve never seen film of either the garage or the car. Thankfully, Petrolicious is here to do the job right. The garage won a competition called Design Driven, sponsored by Maserati, back in 2009. It’s been shown as a
Petrolicious And The Most Beautiful Garage….. In The World Read Post »
Petrolicious is my new favourite website. It covers what I’d call modern vintage cars and it does it beautifully, with articles and beautifully shot videos that showcase why people love cars as well as the cars that they love. I love older cars. They’re so much more interesting than 95% of the new stuff because they were made at a
The Inside Koenigsegg video series concludes today with this final instalment – the gearbox. This one is guaranteed to go over most people’s heads. The overall concept makes sense to me but the technical bits went over my head very quickly and I think it’ll be the same for many people. I get concepts but I’m a technical imbecile. There
Want to know why Audi have replaced BMW as the car de jour for both the established and the newly financial? Just watch the video below. It’ll tell you pretty much all you need to know about modern styling, aggressive performance and flawless execution (both the car and the video). Combine those elements with a great driving experience, some great
You’ve got to love the work of Petrolicious. 5-minute films, beautifully shot and featuring some amazing little cars and their dedicated owners. They’re inspirational and aspirational. Speaking of which, owing to the size and genuineness of his collection, Manuel is now officially inspiring. I wonder how he got all that space……. Enjoy. —— My apologies for having not written much
There are two schools of thought when it comes to drugs in sport. The main one is that athletes should be as natural as possible. They should compete to the best of their natural ability and in doing so, the nobility of sport is maintained. The lesser-followed school of thought is that athletes should just go for it. Show exactly
This video is a must watch. A lot of people are indifferent towards Japanese cars. There’s a cultural fence that’s hard for some to get over, plus a lack of historical experience. It’s my hope that for some, Retro Car Kings will go some small way towards bridging that gap. The secondary thing I hope you learn from this video
Consider this one a personal indulgence……. and something to pass the time as we wait on other things. From one Swedish company to another, I just wanted to pass along some congratulations to Koenigsegg for their recent supercar achievement. First, because they’re Swedish, and second, because they’re super-cool. They are the epitome of “Subzero”. I was very pleased to read
For those who love shopping, especially in the US, today is Black Friday. It’s the day after Thanksgiving, the traditional start to the Christmas shopping season and more recently, the season for an internet shopping bonanza. For those who do love to shop, I thought I’d help you see the day in with a fanfare, provided by the Saab Black
It’s a little unusual for me to do a Saabosphere in the middle of the week, but there were a few good things out there worth sharing. Via Saabworld, here’s a great video from Autoweek.nl. They travelled to Trollhattan recently to have a chat with some Saab employees, as well as some of the locals. Their interviews gauged feelings about
