MARCH MEET - (MARCH 10TH ) - 10 AM to about 3 PM - At the Swedish Car Factory, Santa Clara.  Welcome to 2007. For those of you following President Roger's tribulations (no that is not the name of a new Saab model but it could be), I just clamped the CV boots on the sonett and took a test drive to the golf course following a tranny swap. No grinding, whining, slipping, humming, or any of those heart-warming transmission thingys that are all too familiar to Saab owners. I am finally ready to do a drive with 50 other Saab owners behind me with tools in their cars... President Cliff is also back in the show with a bunch of fresh gas for 2007. While we had hoped to combine the trionic tuning with a Meet at the same time, the tuning only occurs during the week... Bring parts to swap, stories to share. Bring LUNCH. Be prepared to pop your hood and view all the mods and tech upgrades other members have installed. Have a tech session with one of the SAF experts. Take a tour of Paul's ever changing vintage Saab collection (both inside and out).

the fotos below in order are:

• vintage in front of SAF
• the SAF backyard Saabs
• sonettV4s - at one point Paul had #1864, perhaps the last existing sonettV4 in production left
• this is sonettII #0006 without its fiberglass. Paul is making it a race car due to previous metal damage, otherwise it would be too rare to modify.
• this vintage racer is from Bud Clark and also sports a stroker Saab drivetrain
• Paul checks out the new carb and breakerless ignition on Peter's 96V4. Since the swap, Peter actually drives the car
• Past President Doug shows off his restored sonett II to Ken and me.
• all sonett IIs had stroker engines
• the rear glass is very spotless
• Paul's show sonett V4 in the lineup
• Alan's sonett V4 is just out of the shop from a fire, and took a crunch on the bonnet parking at the meet. check out the double barrel aircleaner in the next shot
• in addition to vintage cars, we had a showing of vintage club members including Rallyemeister Don and Parts King Shawn
• whoops - some club members showed in "later model" Saabs
• back to the days of the radiator being against the firewall in Paul's stroker. the next shot is a full view.
• James Dean appreciates Paul's racer.
