BALTIC SEA CIRCLE Rally in 1993 Saab 900

During the 16 days of the BALTIC SEA CIRCLE Rally “Team 39, Aurora Hunters– drove a 1993 Saab 900, nicknamed “OVE the crocodile“, over 7500 km through Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland.

The basic rules are: no highways, no SatNav and a car that must be at least 20 years old.
This Rally of course is a big boy’s adventure. And of course it’s a challenge (and a show-off) for the old Saab. But it comes with a very important side effect: CHARITY! 50% and everything above the 750 euros from fund goes to a project in NEPAL that Team 39 have decided to support: LiScha-Himalaya.

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.
