On Saturday, the 9th of June, 2007 Saab History enjoyed a scenic drive on route 44 between Trollhättan and Lidköping to the Kinnekule racetrack about an hour North in a beautiful 2007 Saab 9-3 SportCombi 1.8t rented from AVIS. During this drive, the Saab sightings were quite remarkable, in fact, there were so many sightings that a number of Saab enthusiasts admitted later in the day that they were late to the track because they decided to follow the caravans of Saabs instead of the signs to the racetrack. I believe it could be safe to say that only in Sweden could a caravan of Saabs be seen as typical.

The driving experience was above average mainly because the road quality was far superior to any roads I have driven in the United States or elsewhere for that matter. It is important to note that the roads in Sweden must be the best maintained and engineered roads in the world, and in a number of cases the roads are better than need be for automobiles because they double as aircraft landing and takeoff strips as I hint at early on in the film below that I will get into further detail in the next post.

Enjoy the video below that I have put together to help you understand what the highway and secondary roads are like in Sweden.
