The delight on the boys' faces when they saw that the old car had arrived this afternoon on return from school and nursery was delightful. They demanded to "have a 'drive' (i.e. sit and marvel!) in Saab". We lifted the bonnet, a marvel to watch in itself with its unusual front pivot. We had a little engine 'walkthrough'. Really we're all learning together but Daddy could at least show off the fan, battery, exhaust and suchlike!
Lockdown!
It's still all quiet on the Saab front. We are approaching the time of year where we could start thinking about getting her out on the drive, but along comes coronavirus and puts a spanner in the works! We have a steep downward slope on our drive, so if we get her out and can't get her started, it will take more than our little family to push her back up the slope into the garage. Now we can't see anyone from another household we'd be a bit stuck, so in the garage she stays. By way of distraction, here's the Saab badge in our 1984 900. Later in that year, they introduced the Saab griffin, but ours had already left the production line!
