have you seen Robbie Williams new video, "Tripping"?
He´s driving one of those Mr Potatoehead cars, SAAB 95.
Maybe something for your SAAB Video site.

Dick,

Can you get the video to me in uncompressed captured digital video at 720 x 480 with 30 frames per second? If so, then I can include it. :)

I think Dick may have been taking the piss actually !

Note the comment about the 9-5 being a 'Mr Potatohead' car.

Also Dick can't spell potato correctly either. I'd guess he's 'intellectually challenged' !

So you think it's spam?

The commonly accepted meaning of spam is 'unsolicited commercail email' ( also an equivalent Usenet post ) so NO.

He's 'pulling your plonker' - 'taking the piss' - 'syphoning the python' - whatever but I suspect your linguistic skills don't extend to such
coloquial stuff.

For a moment I thought I actually had to watch a RW video because of a SAAB 95
in it, but now 'Pooh Bear' says it's a Saab 9-5... What car is it?

MH,

No kidding. It always makes me smile when people don't know the difference between a Model 95 and a 9-5. :)

It's a vintage 95 wagon, V4 possibly but with the early nose and dash.

As I wrote: there is a SAAB _95_ in the video.
This is not spam, and thank you all for teaching me how to spell
"potato".

Yes, definately a 95 (1969).

> thank you all for teaching me how to spell "potato".

Who cares, what's more important is that you got the 95, not 9-5 right!

That was the first year of the 99's I believe, and 1 year after I become a
sentient being, so it must have been a good year! lol
