In the rearview mirror: a Saab Sonett - the sportscar from Saab - the mechanics of Sonett models were shared with the equivalent family cars of the same dates. The Sonett I was initially called the "Saab 94". The Sonett II and III were both known as the "'Saab 97". In the 1950s Rolf Mellde suggested that Saab should make a small number of open-top two seater sport cars as racing regulations did not allo sw Saab to tune their cars as much as was needed to be competitive. Rolf Mellde designed the car himself and in utter secrecy built it in a barn in Åsaka outside Trollhättan. Only a very limited number of people working on the project knew about it and was done in their spare time. The total cost of the project was 75000 Kronor. The name 'Sonett' is derived from an exclamation in Swedish by Rolf Mellde; "Så nätt den är" (English - "how neat it is"), not from the sonnet type of poetry. The name was originally suggested for both the Saab 92 and the Saab 93. |
 For some the day went by without many problems. |

 Mook, Monday 28 July 2008. Following the successful initiative taken by the Museum Quarter Shop Owners Group in Amsterdam, inviting the owners of fashionable 4x4 vehicles amongst their clientele to make acquaintance with some real utility 4x4 shopping vehicle on wheels or track, and get a demonstration parking and fast maneuvering in the Vondelpark, a group of unassociated Shop Owners in Nijmegen will bring various types of military and non-military automobiles to demonstrate to the city council the feebleness of the arguments that led to the decision to ban the afore-mentioned vehicles from the center of the town. The demonstrations will start on Saturday August 2nd, at 10:00h. till 24:00h. on the Oranjesingel near the Keizer Karelplein, from where trips will be organized to the Mooker Hei, for demonstrations in the field. |
