    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Okay edition, the Saab part being the best - it was a reminder that in the end they are genuine car enthusiasts bnut we don't get to see it too often

    Another ok episode, ending with a great piece about Saab.

    Could have done without the pointless Little Chef story, and SIARPC wasn't great.

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.

    Not libel if it is true. ;)

    So what does the "extra" button do?

    So what does the "extra" button do?

    From what I've read it seems to be exactly what it says, an 'extra' button for adding equipment to the car. From here:

    Knowing the history behind it, I think it was quite funny. This is a button you’re only likely to find in a Saab.
    The real meaning is “extrautrustning” / “extra equipment”, which was a button Saab sold seperately to DIYers that wanted to add things on their own were the fog light symbol would be out of place (the other available extra legend). This was in the 60:s when most manufacturers were holding on hard to all kinds of documentation on the cars, and Saab was as far as I remember the only car company were allowing anybody from the street to buy the full service manual. In the 60:s, designing, manufacturing and stocking that button wasn’t for free, so the legend had to be selected carefully, as a legend was neccessary to separate it from a blank panel. The fact that the text EXTRA worked in several languages was certainly a factor. The legend was available for the og900 and 9000 as well.
