It ran through the snow out here as if it were skipping down a dry street. These days we don't get much snow ... but I love the 96's because of the cute body. We called it the "PIg Car." Had a gear shift on the column. I think the engine was a Ford. I rebuilt the master cylinder for the brakes on that honey one time! That was fun! I found a link online for the Saab Museum. Quite interesting! http://www.saabmuseum.co.uk/ Kit - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Don Dory Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2003 8:51 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] FS: Fiat 128/ Premier Padmani [Was: Which Leica ?, M5, (now hand crank)] Kit, I think you should look for a clean 97 instead. The early ones used the two stroke if that is your inclination. I preferred the V4 although it went through exhaust pipes pretty quickly in salty weather. The good thing about the 97 is that if the car couldn't go over the snow you probably shouldn't be out driving just yet. Just imagine passing a Semi in a hard rain barely able to see the axle centerline above your head. What fun when I was younger. Make mine recognition yellow.
