Unofficial SAAB social club of Tasmania

Saab Tasmania

Believe it or not, Saab cars have come to the farthest corners of the world, even on far far far away little island the people called Tasmania. And that’s not all, there’s even a Saab club (Unofficial SAAB social club of Tasmania) that gathers local enthusiasts – those who love Swedish automotive brand.

This Saab club does not have its own website but has a FB page that gathers them. This page has been inactive for a few years, however they are going to try and revive it.  That Saab Club aim to organise social events for Saab drivers – meet and greets and drives. Anyone that is an owner or enthusiast of Saab automobiles and lives in Tasmania is welcome to join, contribute and attend.

There are no membership fees. Think of this more as a social association of owners and enthusiasts. And as they say, they are in no way associated with the Saab Car Club of Australia. They will organize their next gathering called “Cars and Coffee Saab December Meet Hobart” on December 15th. Meeting at Golf Links road at 9:30am for a 10am start at Cars and Coffee at Lindisfarne North Primary School. After the event finishes, they let’s go for a drive and have lunch in New Norfolk (either at the Patchworks Cafe or the Bush Inn).

We hope that we will get the report and photos from their gathering, and that we will be able to present them to you on this blog.

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.
