The First Gathering of the Club Saab Uruguay This Year

Saab club Uruguay meeting 2022

As the Corona virus pandemic around the world has subsided, this has encouraged many Saab car clubs around the world to organize their first rallies after two years of dormancy. This was also the case with the National Saab Club of Uruguay, a small but fairly strong club with dedicated members who held their first post-pandemic gathering there last weekend.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Carlos Abeiro from Montevideo, who was so kind as to send us a report from this gathering of the Uruguay Club, which will make many happy and encourage them to socialize within their clubs (let us also recall last year’s gathering). Also, the report would not be complete without great photos expertly taken by photographer Gonzalo Abeiro, and I thank him for the photos provided, which testify to the existence of a strong Saab community in South America.

Among the many things that were discussed, several proposals were raised for the next activities of the Club, so that for this 2022, pleasant surprises await them from this South American group of brand enthusiasts.

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.

  • This is so cool. Love the lineup photo with all of those old SAAB’s still running!!! ( You all are taking great care of them!!!)…kinda reminds me of old American cars in Cuba.

  • We plan on attending from the USA. My other half is fluent in Spanish and is familiar with Uruguay and Argentina. If anyone else from the USA would like to link up we would be happy to travel with you to ensure everything goes well.
