Saab 9-3 Swedish Rhapsody ma ka hau
ʻOiaʻiʻo, he mea kēia aʻu i hana ʻole ai ma ko mākou ʻāina ākea ākea.
ʻAʻohe o lākou e noho kokoke ana i kahi pupule 60 makahiki; ʻoiai ʻo ia e heihei ana i kahi Saab 9-3 Turbo X ma ke ala o ka ululāʻau hau ma kahi o 200 km / h me kahi pā hau wale nō a me kahi huakaʻi pōʻino i loko o nā kumulāʻau e hoʻokaʻawale iā mākou.
Eia nō naʻe, no ka poʻokela hui mua ʻo Per Eklund a me ka hui ʻo Saab Ice Experience, ʻo ia i kēlā me kēia lā.
I kēlā me kēia makahiki, hōʻuluʻulu lākou i nā pūʻulu liʻiliʻi o ka poʻe nūpepa no ka luʻu hohonu i ka mōʻaukala o Saab, ka hoʻomohala ʻana o kāna mau kaʻa, a me ka mea e ʻokoʻa ai ʻo Sweden mai ke koena o ka honua.
Hana ʻia nā mea a pau i loko o ka Arctic Circle, ma kahi ʻāina kupanaha keʻokeʻo e mamao loa mai Australia e like me kāu e noʻonoʻo ai.
He nani ia ma ke ʻano wao nahele, ʻokoʻa me nā pāpū wela a lepo lepo o ka ʻāina, akā he haʻalulu nui ke pae ʻoe i ka emi 20 ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana mai Australia i ka 30.
He makau kūikawā ko ka Saab Ice Experience i kēia makahiki, ʻoiai ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka hui e wehe i kāna mau kaʻa holo kaʻa holoʻokoʻa mua i nā lumi hōʻike.
Inā ʻaʻole ia e like me ka mea maʻamau i ka wā hoʻoilo paheʻe loa ma Suedena a me ka hapa nui o ʻEulopa, ua lawe ʻo Saab i kekahi manawa e hoʻonui i ke kālā a me ka hoihoi e neʻe aku mai kāna kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa mua.
Akā e hoʻokomo ʻo ia ma mua o 200kW i ke alanui me nā hiʻohiʻona 9-3 Aero X a me Turbo X e pili ana i nā lumi hōʻike kūloko.
He mau kaʻa ʻohana kēia, ʻaʻole ʻo Lancer Evo-style rockets, no laila ua ʻike ʻo Saab he pono ke hoʻololi i kahi pawl pawl.
"Inā hana ia ma ʻaneʻi, hana ia ma nā wahi āpau," wahi a ke poʻo loea ʻo Saab ʻo Anders Tisk.
"Hana mākou e like me kā Saab, me ka ʻōnaehana hoʻokele Haldex hou loa. E holo mau ana, kaa mau huila eha."
"Makemake mākou e hoʻopau i kā mākou mau hiʻohiʻona no ka palekana."
Kāhea ʻo Saab i kā lākou ʻōnaehana cross-drive, spelled XWD, a ʻaʻohe kānalua ua kau lākou i nā hana he nui i kēia hana, mai ka hoʻopili ʻana i ka pahu pahu i ka lolo uila e hoʻomalu i ka ʻokoʻa hope o ka Aero X.
He maikaʻi ke kamaʻilio ʻenehana, a ʻo ka poʻe Saab, ka poʻe e hana nei ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka hui GM Premium Brands ma Australia, kahi o ka ʻohana me Hummer lāua ʻo Cadillac, he mahana a hoʻokipa. Akā makemake mākou e holo.
ʻAʻole liuliu, ke kū nei mākou ma kahi loko o Suedena paʻa ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā kaʻa ʻakomi Turbo X kālā.
ʻO Per Eklund, ka poʻokela hoʻokūkū honua mua e lanakila mau ana i ka rallycross ma kahi Saab 9-3 kūikawā loa, e hoʻolauna iā mākou i ka hanana.
ʻO ka manaʻo, e holo mākou i kekahi mau demo a me nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa palekana ma mua o ka leʻaleʻa no kekahi manawa ma ke ala wili; i ʻoki ʻia mai ka hau 60 knm hohonu e uhi ana i ka hau.
"Hoʻomaka mākou e lohi iki e loaʻa kahi manaʻo maikaʻi; ma hope e leʻaleʻa paha mākou, "wahi a Eklund. "Eia ʻoe ka manawa e hoʻāʻo ai i nā mea āpau i loaʻa i kēia mau Saab hou, e like me ka holo kaʻa holoʻokoʻa a me ka mīkini turbocharged."
Ke kuhikuhi nei ʻo Eklund i nā studs kila 100 i kēlā me kēia kaʻa e hāʻawi i kahi traction, akā kuhikuhi pū kekahi i kahi bulldozer kali - me kahi laina huki e hana ana i kēlā me kēia lā - ʻoiai e hoʻololi ana i kahi mākaʻikaʻi kaʻa kaʻa.
"He nui ka poʻe e pani i ko lākou mau maka ke hele hewa kekahi mea. ʻAʻole ia he hoʻoholo maikaʻi loa, "i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia me ka ʻakaʻaka maʻamau o Suedan.
“Pono ʻoe e hoʻokele kaʻa. Ma hope e hana nā kamepiula iā ʻoe, akā ʻaʻole i kēia lā.
“E hana mau i kekahi mea. Mai ho'ōki i ka neʻe ʻana. A i ʻole, aia kekahi mau pilikia - a loaʻa iā ʻoe ka manawa e kiʻi i nā kiʻi maikaʻi i ka wā e hele mai ai ka tractor e huki iā ʻoe i waho.
No laila, iho mākou i ka ʻoihana a ʻike koke mākou he ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa maʻalahi ma ka hau ma mua o ka bitumen maloʻo.
E ho'āʻo hoʻi e hoʻohuli i ka huila e ʻalo i kahi elk noʻonoʻo (he kanaka i ka lole hoʻoilo me nā pū ma kona poʻo), a hoʻonāukiuki maʻalahi i kahi pōʻino.
Ua wela nā mea ke pā mākou i ke ala o ka ululāʻau makani e leʻaleʻa a ʻike i ka mea hiki i ka XNUMXxXNUMX. Lot.
Me he mea la he mea kupanaha e hiki i kekahi kaa ke holo i kela wikiwiki me ka nui o ka mana, aka nae he ma'alahi ka pahe'e ma luna o ka palena a i loko o nā ka'a. Loaʻa i ka tractor kekahi hana, me hoʻokahi kaʻa no mākou.
Aʻo mākou e pili ana i ka pono e hana mālie, ʻoluʻolu a nani hoʻi i mea e holo maikaʻi ai i loko o ia mau kūlana - nā haʻawina e hoʻi i ka hoʻokele i kēlā me kēia lā me ka ʻole o ka ʻaoʻao hau.
A laila, hōʻike mai ʻo Eklund a me kekahi mea hoʻokūkū hui ʻo Kenneth Backlund iā mākou i ka hana maoli ʻana i ka wā e lele ai lākou i loko o nā huila ʻeleʻele Aero X i hoʻokomo ʻia me nā huila wīwī hoʻoilo a me nā stud rally nunui no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana.
ʻOiai mākou e hakakā nei ma nā kihi hau ma 60 km / h, ʻo Eklund a me Backlund e paʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao ma kahi o 100 km / h ma kahi loko hau ma mua o ka wehe ʻana i ka Saab ma kahi hoʻohenehene hau hohonu i ka ululāʻau.
He naʻaupō wikiwiki lākou, ke wili nei ka nila speedometer ma kahi o 190 km / h, akā palekana nā kaʻa, hilinaʻi, ʻoluʻolu a wela.
No laila he aha ka ʻokoʻa? Ma waho aʻe o nā mea hoʻokele a me nā studs, ʻaʻohe mea. He lumi hōʻikeʻike kēia ʻo Saab, e like me nā kaʻa e hōʻea ana i Australia. A he mea kupanaha loa.
No laila he aha kā mākou i aʻo ai? ʻAʻole paha he nui, ʻokoʻa ka maikaʻi o ka holo kaʻa holoʻokoʻa Saab hou a me ka hiki ke piʻi nui i ke kūʻai aku o Saab ma Australia i ka wā i paʻi ai ka Aero X a me Turbo X i ko mākou mau kahakai.
Akā ʻo ka ʻike o ka holo ʻana ma luna o ka hau ua hoʻomanaʻo mai iaʻu i ka pono e aʻo pehea e hoʻokele maikaʻi - maikaʻi loa - i mea e loaʻa ai ka maikaʻi o kaʻu kaʻa a pale aku i nā pōʻino ʻino i maʻamau ma nā alanui Australia.
E kuhi hewa ma ke ala hau a loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi kaʻa keʻokeʻo kaulana no hoʻokahi holo hou, akā ʻaʻohe manawa lua ma ke alanui i ka honua maoli.
