Boost is a section in the Driver magazine which first appeared in the December/January 2014 issue of Driver. It will cover all aspects of Saab Tuning something Saabs are very capable of.
Here is an example of what Boost! gets up to taken from a copy of the Driver Magazine.
As some of you may know, our very own Graeme Lambert took delivery of a Saab 9-5 TTiD Aero as a long term test back in April of this year. Graeme is a journalist for the British Car Weekly Auto Express. He has just sent us his latest artical about life with the stunning 9-5 Aero which can also be seen in full online.

Saab V4 Lubrication of clutch release fork shaft
It has proved that the clutch release fork shaft, which is carried on a bearing in the clutch cover, shows a tendency for labouring in its upper bearing or even getting stuck – due to corrosion. The result may be a slipping/damaged clutch.
When working on the clutch or visiting a service garage, add a few drops of oil. At every 6,000 miles (10,000km) service inspection, lubricate the bearing with a few drops of oil. The end surface of the shaft lies somewhat lower than the surface of the clutch case, and in consequence the oil will remain in place until the bearing has been lubricated.

14 Ebor Saab members set off on Friday 10 May to make their separate ways to the assembly point at Gretna Green for what was billed as a Scottish Mystery Weekend, the mystery being only the organisers knew the itinerary. The mystery began to unfold on Saturday morning with a drive along gloriously empty roads under blue skies up into rural Scotland to visit the Kagyu Samye Ling Tibetan Temple at Eskdalemuir (nobody expected a visit the foothills of the Himalayas).

There is no formal Branch currently in operation (largely as a result of the sheer geographical spread of members across this area) and therefore no regular meetings.
Where possible, there is usually an SOC 'presence' at gatherings across the region organised by other clubs, motor museums or advertised on web forums (principally UKSaabs).
The dates known so far for 2020 at which we aim to be represented are:
