SAAB #2 (gross polluter): some sort of old two-stroke (Sonnet?)
SAAB #1 (gross polluter cleaner-upper): 9k, couple years ago, also not 
remembering if a turbo was involved but maybe?

Was that the article that talked about using a raised section of the piston for 
the spark ground electrode?
Definitely made a big deal about Trionic being, ooh, 32-bit.
