IntSaab2015: SAAB Passion In Hessen
We have arrived at my wife´s birthplace in Biebertal-Fellingshausen outside Giessen. The home of a true Saab family. One car is missing as the old Saab 9000 recently broke down and was too old and too expensive to repair. So sadly only 2 Saabs left. If someone wants to buy the old 9000 it’s for sale by “Schweden Automobile Giessen“. We are going there tomorrow to take some pictures of the location.
Wir sind bei den Eltern meiner Frau in Biebertal-Fellingshausen ausserhalb von Giessen angekommen. Hier wohnt eine richtige Saab-Familie. Ein Auto fehlt, der alte Saab 9000 ging vor kurzem kaputt und war zu alt und zu teuer zum Reparieren. Deshalb sind leider nur noch zwei Saabs übrig. Falls jemand Interesse an dem alten Saab 9000 hat, er ist beim Autohaus Schweden Automobile Giessen zu kaufen. Wir werden dort morgen hinfahren und ein paar Fotos vom Autohaus machen.
Daniel & Manfred. The ”new” 9-5 that has been parked in the garage almost since new has almost only been used to travel to Sweden but now they have only 2 cars so it´s a daily driver.

This is the third post from Marcus and Manuela Bergfeldt about their experiences in participating in the IntSaab2015 event. They are still on a pre-tour, driving their wonderful jet black SAAB 9-5NG from their home town Tranås in Sweden to the Hessen region in Germany, and ultimately via France, Belgium and Denmark to IntSaab2015 host country Norway. Their earlier posts can be found here and the next one will follow soon too!
i knew it! 🙂 cool stuff
Vielleicht sollten wir in Zukunft schwedisch/deutsch/englisch erwarten? irgendwie lustig hier 🙂
That would be really nice and I think it can work in some cases, depending on the type of article and the author(s). In this case, we are really lucky that one of the authors is in fact German so that makes the additional language part easier. For some others (e.g. Tom’s or my own editorials) it is more tricky but we’ll keep it in mind 🙂
wow.. is the one for you? 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/griffinmodels/photos/ms.c.eJxFzdsNxEAIQ9GOVrzx9N9YtJB4fo~_uQUXQXqaJNEf~;9AUsCKGPIlvjFpZ6JDjxmEIu1BR~_CLlFfRD7tjgJW7iF~;Sd1eCNygUXafDEn~_BQAoadQPE8MMAs~-.bps.a.1008735869185755.1073741828.105951732797511/1008736285852380/?type=1&theater
Yes indeed 🙂
Gießen? One of the biggest SAAB Eldorado in Germany ;o)
If you come……
Manuela and Marcus, I you come to Belgium, we can organize a get-together with Saab friends but than we need to know a little bit what cities you want to drive trough.
We would like to do that and when it can be organized we are happy to assist. I am living close to Leuven, 20 KM South of Brussels.
Hello, we are leaving 6 a.m on friday morning and going via Köln, Huy, Namur, Charleroi and Mons on route to Paris. We have about 660 km. So it will take some time. Any suggestions on where to what to see would be great. On the way back to Germany we travel via Metz and Saarbrücken 🙂 Regards Marcus, Manuela & Günter 🙂
Marcus, Knowing your route I suggest we meet at the border between Belgium and Paris. The border is just after you have passed Mons on the E19. If you cross the border on the E19 there is at the border a huge parking.
I will be there as of 9.30 and hope to be able to meet you on your way to Paris. I drive a Saab 9-5 NG in Java-Black.
Hello Kochje, have sent you an e-mail ! 🙂 Best regards Marcus
