We drive Saab. These are your stories.
Since becoming the owner of my first Saab in December '23 I have experienced a great love and sense of family from other owners, creating a true feeling of community surrounding this quirky, charming and endearing Swedish car manufacturer.
Growing up with numerous Saabs as the family car, with my parents behind the wheel, I have always aspired to pilot my very own. "Born from Jets" was the tag line, and I have to say they truly do feel like more than "just a car".
We all have different reasons why we love the brand, and choose to drive their cars. Despite their closure some years ago, there is still a deep desire and affection held for the name and what they created, with many stories still to be told.
On this channel I will be travelling up and down the UK meeting owners, admiring their cars and hearing their fascinating stories.

Thats not an aero, vector .
Me too, I have 6 of them. two 99, two 9-3, two 9-5. Great cars to drive, greetings from Finland 🇫🇮😊❤
@@harrywiking3654 wow we would love to chat over zoom sometime! Hear your stories and see your cars !
Appreciated the whole SAAB thing as a serial SAAB owner. I have a 2007 facelift 9-3 Aero V6 manual wagon in Ice Blue, a 2005 9-3 Aero Hirsch 252 Turbo Performance, and a 2011 9-3 Aero Tx Design. All petrol, all renovated. I genuinely do not see any excitement for a diesel, sorry. You also do not deserve that Hirsch badge; my car wears it because it’s got £3500 worth of Hirsch hardware and software since new.
@@rezaq1 I think he deserves it for having an item of Hirsch on the car. He’s obtained the parts he can that were available to purchase and where he couldn’t get official Hirsch he’s gone for the next best thing. Your upgrades sound impressive, but we are also quick to applaud anyone that loves their Saab, and has pride in the cars like Keith does.
@@SaabStories a fair comment,
It seems that all those Saabs have a factory defect... the steering wheel is on the wrong side. @Keith, does your 9-3 has stainless steel pedal covers and foot rest? 😁
😂😂 No stainless steel pedal covers and footrest fitted. I did see a set of Hirsch ones for sale at one point, but they were covered in scratches, and the price wasn't exactly reasonable for what they were. I'll keep with the original rubber covers and not worry about having any stones etc stuck I the soles of my shoes 😊😊
Hi - Great little video and snapshot of your Saab - love your passion for the car and your tasteful mods. I have a 2010 TID TX convertible - managed to source original Hirsch leather dash, interior handles and trims and also an original Hirsch rear diffuser- swapped to an original illuminated ISM and fitted original illuminated illuminated boot release switch, has powerfold mirrors and a few other ‘tasteful’ mods lol Well done.
Very well done for finding the original Hirsch trim and diffuser. I couldn't find any for sale when modifying my 9-3 so had to go with the aftermarket options. I would have loved the original items though. Thanks for the comments.
Cheers for the nice video, Saab owner and subscriber here from Greece .
Thanks for the comment. I had a great time making it with Peter.
Smart looking bit of kit
Thanks for the comment. Tried to keep the modifications 'tasteful' and not go too over the top. It's knowing when to stop, but then the difficulty in getting aftermarket parts tends to help with that😂😂
@@keefensera2004 Hey ive got the exact same car and was looking to get a strut brace, was that abbot racing brace specifically designed to fit this engine/model or is it a general 9-3 strut brace? Also if aftermarket parts were hard to find a couple years ago im going to need some great luck as im going to try something similar to what you have done, so thanks for the ideas and inspiration. Also love what you have done to the car great job!
@@Matt-pg5sd Hi there, thanks for the comments. I have been trying to find the strut brace on Abbott's website but I can't see any on there anymore, unless I missed it. And the order info I had just refers to it being a strut brace - so not much help. Maptun in Sweden do them, but only for left hand drive. AZ Performance in Hungary do them for the 9-3, and it states that they are for the petrol and diesel, both RHD and LHD. I have ordered some parts from them in the past, and they do quite a lot of performance parts for all SAABs. Hope that helps, and if you need any more info or suggestions where to get parts just get in touch. Good luck with your project.
@@keefensera2004 Ah alright ill be sure to have a look, thanks for the help!
@@Matt-pg5sd or you can try RBM Performance in France. Their one appears to be suitable, but you'll have to check to see if it is left or right hand drive specific as it isn't stated. Good luck.
Lovely Pantera. The owner should replace the custom 'Halfords' steering wheel with the correct Momo Prototipo.
Regardless it’s a thing of beauty, but from our chat I get the impression he’s not done with working on this car. Hope to see it again, see what he does with it.
People do not buy Saabs for status, they buy them if they're nerds
"Rich people don't by SAAB" "No but intelligent people do"
Just discovered this channel and now catching up. I've had my 9-3 for over 10 years now. Before that I had an ng900 SE Coupe 2.0 16V Turbo, so I have definitely experienced torque steer😂😂
@@keefensera2004 wow that’s brilliant! Where are you based?
@@SaabStories Royston, Hertfordshire. Just a stone's throw, (if you have a strong arm), from the Heath. I only realised there had been a meeting there after watching your video. Oh bother. Maybe next year then.
@@keefensera2004 come find us on Facebook, we would love to chat about a collab! m.facebook.com/saab.stories.2024/
Absolute right decision to sell that Chevy brick and getting a decent reliable car, and a convertible at that! Just driving top down in wooden areas is such a bliss! Great video!
2006 93 Aero Manual sedan, restored...great car!
I have one like yours ,lime yellow 53 reg 2.0 t vector ,it's my daily and drives like new at 21 years old.
@@bigfist255 aren’t they super cars! Where are you in the world?
@@SaabStories Hertfordshire

Really enjoyed this, great content as always 👍
Great Saab content. Keep going!
@@MrGoodsoul Thankyou! We are trying!
Looked like a great road trip! Can’t wait to see what comes next! 👍
Well done, great video
Thank you very much! Would love to go for a drive with you someday! Get yours in a video !
Brilliant!!
It was good to meet you, I had the Silver 54 plate 9-3 SS with LED Indicators and switch back DRL's
Oh yes brill! Loved that! Great modernisation expertly done. It was lovely to meet you too
Really enjoyed this. The Algorithm thankfully migrated me to your brilliant Channel. After 3 years without a car I finally treated my self to a Saab Convertible and I’m absolutely smitten with the way it drives. I’m learning a lot thanks to this great community aswell. Will look forward to your content, keep up the great work. All the best, Rob in Lincolnshire 👍
Hey Rob! Thanks so much for your kind comment!!! Would love to see your new car sometime !
@@SaabStories You’re very Welcome! I’m contemplating re-joining a social media so I can be more involved with the community, so if I do I will absolutely give you a follow 👍
Excellent first video we wish you the very best of luck producing them into the future
Thankyou this means a lot! We just adore mixing with the community - we realised from day one that there’s so many fascinating stories out there, and we can’t wait to hear them all.
Great first video enjoyed watching it.
