Official car of The Sith

Jeremy Clarkson’s ‘Cockometer’ rarely fails. He might scale pretty high himself on some occasions but generally when it comes to how much of a errrrrr…’Thingy’ you look while driving along The ‘Cockometer’ is up there with the Richter Scale as an effective measurement. He says:

'The Saab has no cockometer because it doesn’t need one. You’ve deliberately gone your own way, deliberately bought something that isn’t a BMW or a Merc or an Audi. And in the process you’ve ended up with something that’s not only a little bit different, but also rather good.'

Course, being a Saab driver I already knew this. I got my serviced yesterday at a Saab specialist and seeing all those assorted Saabs together in one place was, for the Saab lover, akin to chancing upon a flower strewn woodland clearing with families of pure white Unicorns frolicking around. OK that’s a tad strong on the waxing lyrical front but you get my point. There are such wonderful cars and the undying strength of the Saab brand makes it impossible not to know with every sense of your being that you ‘Belong’. Which, leads me rather neatly to Star Wars. Of which I’m also a fan. Another equally undying brand that will never fade away. The combination of the two is naturally almost too much to bare…..
