The Saab Club of North America will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Longest Day at Nelson Ledges victory by holding its annual Owners’ Convention in Aurora, Ohio from July 22-25th, 2010. The festivities will commence with an optional Track Day at Nelson Ledges Road Course on Thursday, July 22, where attendees will have the opportunity to drive the very course where Saab’s turbocharged 900 showed its stuff to the country.

The results of the Logo Contest were announced at the Monthly Meeting last Wednesday. Here are the finalists:

First Prize - Dmitry Platonoff - Enhanced Driving School Seat

Second Prize - John Burnet - Two Years Membership SCCI

Third Prize - Steve Fyfe - One Year Membership SCCI

The winning design is now appearing on the front page of the website. Thanks again for everyone who participated.

Due to an insufficient number of entries to the Logo Contest received to date, we are extending the deadline to 11:59 PM Saturday February 28, 2009. The judging will similarly be extended by one month to be announced at the March meeting. There is still time to get going on those designs.

The November meeting will be held at Saturn Saab of Pickering, 980 Kingston Road (just east of Whites Road), Pickering. The Parts department will be open late until 8:00pm and there is a very nice discount of 15% on parts. You could telephone ahead and order your part at 905-839-6159. Pickering is one of the oldest Saab dealers in the area having sold the brand for 19 years. A gold level sponsor of the EDS last year, Pickering received a seat at the fall school. Often these are not utilized, but a sales representative from Pickering showed up with a Turbo-X.

The Club has a new name. It is now "Saab Club of Canada". Because of this we need a NEW LOGO. I will be announcing shortly the details of a contest for the best design. There will be a significant prize for the winner. To get your juices going, try out this Logo Quiz at Driving.ca

This year we are heading back to the Niagara Region for our Fall Colours Tour.

We will be meeting up at a Tim Horton's at 10:00am. It is located right off the QEW in Vineland.

Here is a link to the event thread in our forum with a link to the meeting location.

We look forward to seeing you there.

The October meeting will be at Katz's Deli on the 15th. Bring your appetite. With gas costing over a dollar a litre, how do you stretch your fuel for the greatest distance? A new set of driving skills have been developed to maximize the bang for your bucks. We will look at some of the factors that influence fuel consumption. And no, it doesn't mean driving with an egg under your foot. We will also be talking about tires and how to prepare your car for winter.

Our monthly meeting will be held at Katz's Deli.

The topic this time around will be a discussion on the upcoming Saab Owners Convention that is taking place this coming weekend.

The event is being held this year in Devens Mass.

If you have ever wondered about this event, please come armed with your questions and those in attendance who have been in the past will do their best to fill you in.

Otherwise, there will be a breakdown of what takes place at these events and the sorts of things you could expect (including some of the deals people have seen before).

In case you somehow missed the announcements, this is a reminder that this coming Sunday is our Niagara Winery Tour. This is the big social event of the summer. The official start is from Jackson-Triggs Niagara Estate Winery at 10:00 am. You can make your own way there or meet at the Tim Horton's at 754 Bronte Road in Oakville at 8:30 am for a group run.

Paul has lined up a visit to a "Leather Place" so we can learn how to treat the skins on our seats. There is a list of six other wineries that may also be visited, depending on how the time works out. There was a flyer with more information in the June issue of Gryphon. Oh, by the way, lunch is scheduled to be a picnic, so you need to pack your own. For directions to Jackson-Triggs go to this link. See you there!
