It was a good outing - found by accident but it would have been well worth going to even if I hadn't been passing.Sandy's witteringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009803939431014995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473643361564881319.post-47301574496579122432013-07-30T12:24:11.411+01:002013-07-30T12:24:11.411+01:00Wow, what a fabulous day out!

I must be getting old, I remember an old Arrol Johnston bus that used to trundle around Cupar when I was a lad. I think it might have been an antique even then.<br />The Glebe Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609629219727888442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473643361564881319.post-59902533803963160562013-07-29T17:56:20.231+01:002013-07-29T17:56:20.231+01:00Shundo - there's seems to be a bit of the smal...Shundo - there's seems to be a bit of the small boy in me just ready to surface, I had an Airfix Lightning hanging from my roof so I was quite excited to see one in the flesh. My trips to motor sports were rare enough to keep them quite novel.<br /><br />John, I've heard good things about Saab too, but it's just not good enough to be good at building cars these days it seems and the business head didn't match.<br />Looks like the name's not about to disappear just now as there is a Saab website which states,"On August 31, 2012, National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB acquired the main assets of the Saab Automobile bankruptcy estates." Looks like you can look forward to electric vehicles bearing the SAAB name soon, though I doubt it'll not be the same as your Saab 900 John.<br />http://www.saabcars.com/en/Sandy's witteringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009803939431014995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473643361564881319.post-45860102126193546852013-07-29T16:27:22.450+01:002013-07-29T16:27:22.450+01:00I did not know Saab went under until reading it he...I did not know Saab went under until reading it here.

Nice to see a clip of Shelsley Walsh, which my dad probably still goes to regularly; I used to get dragged, not always willingly, to many such events.Shundohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626305350101368912noreply@blogger.com
