Here’s what the owner says about the traffic accident: “No we were passing a car travelling the opposite direction. Probably about 10kph when the bank collapsed. Slid about 6 metres on all four, hit and snapped a tree and over she went. All in slow motion really. Ended up on its side and the helpers pushed back onto four and we got out. I was on the down side for about 15 minutes and have a few bruises.”

“When I said I had a chest pain they insisted I went to the hospital. May have done a rib but I think it is just bruising. Was only in the hospital for 45 minutes while they checked I had not punted a lung.  Back on ChCh to pick up another of our SAABS and will rejoin the tour in Oamaru tomorrow. Diane a bit achy but no injuries. The SAAB did it job. Passenger cell intact all four does open!“

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.

  • I hope he still keeps and parts out what he can. Those cars are irreplaceable once they are gone and only a limited number are even left. Very sad
