Some of the scrapped cars in 2009. Interesting read...

What on earth were these people thinking!!!

This link seems to show the worst of it... All for £2k - some of those cars would now be worth more than 10 times that!

Sounds like I was right not to look at those links...

In a similar vein, I have a friend who just chopped in one of these;

It wouldn't have been my choice, but each to their own...

TBH I had one of those Saabs, the scuttle shake is appaling as is the steering. Though being a turbo, it pulled well.
