Because of his love for Saab, Sweden is the regular holiday destination for Enne Feenstra every year. Searching for abandoned vehicles at scrap yards or feeding in the wild is his 'touch' of obsession with Swedish gems.

Preparations start early at home. The models in the display case (of course only from Saab) are dusted. Revisited his folder collection. Brought extra crispbread and replenished the stock of Swedish meatballs.
Of course it is also enjoying the beautiful cities, the special nature. But the routes are classified with his wife in such a way that discoveries must be made. And that is still fairly easy in Sweden. If you deviate from the main route, there are many - from almost new to hopelessly lost - Saabs to be found.
Drive Saab for at least a day in life
Enne thinks the Saab is stylish. He believes that every motorist should drive the classic Saab for at least one day in his life. Just to feel what he misses in other cars. You will notice: Enne is a powerful promoter. He talks enthusiastically about the Saab that has caused a furore everywhere in the world of the car. Incredible success in the toughest international rides, proving the superior quality.
During his travels he realizes that we think it is important to protect and preserve our classics, but that this experience is less true for the Swedes. After a working life - even a Saab - is simply discarded. Too bad, but it doesn't stop Enne from driving around Sweden every year with a smile and twinkling eyes when he takes 'snapshots' of Saabs that once were someone's pride.
