SAABs@Carlisle Special Guests

Traveling to SAABs@Carlisle for the first time all the way from Fort Dodge, Iowa  is Tom Donney of Tom Donney Motors.  And he’s bringing a beauty other than just his wife Patti, the 1960 RAC winning, 1961 Hershey Hill-climbing, and Monte Carlo name-inspiring two-stroke 96 factory rally car. In addition to showing the car, Tom will be available to talk about two-strokes, the quirky loves of so many, as well as his Saab Heritage Museum USA.  This is his recently begun non-profit whose mission it is to educate and preserve these cars as a group for future generations to enjoy.

Another first-time attendee and honored guest is John Moss of Connecticut.  Many of you will know John from owners conventions – he does the best auctions! – or other Saab gatherings.  With 37 years of Saab Technical Training under his belt, John will give a presentation “about Saab and its people, which being such a small company, were pretty much one and the same thing.”

The dates have been moved back one week from what organizer originally reported to May 20-21-22, 2016.

Goran Aničić
the authorGoran Aničić
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.
