| Cheers folks for all you kind words and encouragement. I won't be making a start on this until the end of next year, maybe even 2015 as I have work to finish on the house that I promised to do before touching any of my Saabs. Then, after the house is done, I have recently bought my all time favourite 99, a Silver 1974 2dr EMS and that will be the first one I intend to do. No doubt I will fiddle with the 96 from time to time, but I won't start in earnest until the EMS is pretty much finished. When I do make a start, I will keep a diary on here and try to be good, updating it regularly.

| Watched Rush the other night and spotted a 96 in the background - don't think it's quite 'period-correct' (looks early 80's to me), but a 96 is a rare sight in modern films...

| I spotted that in Rush (brilliant film). I mentioned it on UKSaabs..no one else spotted it, it's a fleeting shot so top marks for observation. The rear lights give it away as a late car..they have the pointed top corners rather than the "tomb stone" shape. Did you watch it at the cinema? The film is out on dvd/blueray later this month.

| Looks like this other green 95 is based in Crawley. Contacted the owner via FB, but haven't heard back from them... | |

| Well, my '71 95 has been sitting over in my friend's workshop for too long, so it's time to trailer it home and crack on with it. It's #2 in line behind the stroker (being tidied up for the summer) and will be worked-on in parallel with my Saabo (caravan). Watch this space.

| By the look of it might still be there, even if the snow ramparts have now gone. | |

| This 95 drove up and parked on the other side of the road in Haddington, East Lothian on Friday 21st. Looked perfectly at home! I don't have my Souvenir any more, but I still keep my eyes peeled.

| Don't know how you managed to restrain yourself from accosting the owner – I'd have been straight over - embarrasing myself! | |

| Another swedish sample, waking up from hibernation, I saw it this winter under a cover. There's another one on the other side of the house in similar conditions, but still sleeping
