I really have to write this in here...
Since the arrival on our driveway of the 93 convertible, my six year old son has gone crazy about anything to do with the SAAB, particlularly convertible ones. Everywhere we go he is on the lookout for anything SAAB and can spot them way before anyone else with us does, and I nearly always get a rebuke from him for not spotting it too!
The warm days we had a few weeks ago gave us the chance to ride around with the roof down. I thought he would hate sitting in the back in the breeze, but he loves it. In fact he loves it so much that the roof has to be down at every opportunity, night or day, and now if we go anywhere it has to be in Daddys car and not Mummys car
On Monday evening I needed to drive over to Chipping Norton to take him to his Taekwondo class, but it was honking down with rain, and rather than shuffle cars around on the drive, I elected to take the Meriva as we were running a bit late.
This caused a real big upset with the boy to the extent he was in tears that we weren't going in the SAAB! I finally managed to calm him down and eventually he unhappily accepted that I wasn't giving in and that we were going in Mummys car.
Not half a mile down the road, in pouring rain, coming the other way ...with its bloody hood down - a silver 93. I just couldn't believe it! The boy saw it immediately, and I ended up getting an ear-chewing for not going in our SAAB with the hood down, in the rain.
...And I haven't heard the end of it since!
