i said pretty much the same thing to him tonite actually :D hahaha....

he's going to go through a shitload of cars so why not try them all! :cheers: the audi's got 60k on the clock now after 2 years, time to go ;) his reasoning is he wants convertible and the saab is affordable and the new 9-3 looks really nice and its quite practical with the large back seat.

he'll lease cars for 2 years or 60,000km, whatever comes first, and then change. he doesnt need much convincing on an Evolution 6 or 7 but i dont think he'll settle on japanese ;) hahah

lol, until just now I don't think Kel knew about the small spin on a *ahem* closed road on a wet day. Still makes my laugh how close we came to getting nailed by Oz since he was lurking behind having a laugh.

As for the saab, it has snap oversteer when you enter turn 10 at eastern creek in the wet. :(

Actually, the saab was a great car. 4 door convertible (practical in convertible terms). High pressure turbo is quick enough. Great ride as with most euro cars. Far cheaper than comparable cars (bmw 330, audi a4, merc clk are all over 100k) Good residual, 60% after 3 years, we are getting 45% after 4 years. Fully electic room and top heater means you get to cruise to work in the middle of winter with the room off :) Top car for a cruise, I'd thoroughly recommend it.

(Just not for track work lol)

She does now Mr H!

And, on the Saab- I say "Wot he said"

Great value for money, enough go to go at the lights and not as common as a Beemer :wassup:

nice pic.....is it a boy or a girl?:)

I like the name suggested Dino! You have no idea how many blokes come up to you (thinking they are SOOOO original) and ask you to take your top off when you drive a convertible!

I think it will be a girl for no good reason except she has already cost me a bit of money, is great to look at and seems a little temperamental when the brakes are on!

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
