romcat Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Nope this took place long before the Forrester came along, Saab had done it the year before, and Soob wanted t make a point. -Gareth might be wrong.. but I believe it was a lowly FORESTER..won some kind of trophy or "cup"...saw it on another SOOB website...MIKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
