I've been around cars for a long time, previously driven and maintained a lot of Saab 9-5's but as they're no longer I needed to move on from that brand. Picked up a '11 S Clubman a couple of months ago and have started to get it into shape. currently doing a wheel bearing on the rear, brakes (and fluid change), accessory belt, dealing with a leaking thermostat housing and a few other things. Like the car so far, not as fast as my Saab Aero wagon but definitely more fun to drive.

Things on the list to do: Aftermarket audio system with Nav and Bluetooth (probably one of those ones from China), possibly a wheel/tire upgrade to 17" now that the 16" tires are pretty much gone and a good clean, clay and wax job.

Other cars in the stable:

• 1991 Mazda Miata MX-5 purchased new in May 1991, never been out when the weather was bad.
• 1967 Volvo P1800 that hardly ever leaves the garage. Grew up in the CA desert so in excellent condition.
• 2012 BMW 5-series F10 that my wife drives
• 2001 Saab 9-5 Aero wagon
