    My new car!

    I've posted a couple of threads now trying to work out what I was gonna get and I've finally chosen and bought a new car!!

    It's a 99T Saab 9-5 3.0t V6 SE with leather interior, climate, cruise ... picked it up for £6k with 72k miles on the clock from a Saab specialist in Surrey (who seem to have a decent reputation in the UK Saab scene). I collect it on Saturday .... can't wait! First new car for over five years

    Hehe ... am coming from a 525i Sport, so am used to kinda-high running costs. Not gonna go main-dealer, but there's a specialist I've heard of whom I'm planning to use

    Next step is to whack me mp3 headunit in and then save up for some decent suspension (it's a bit wallowy). Sure goes though ... 200bhp, even through an auto box (all 3 litres have auto), is pretty rapid
