Thanks, but Young Tom has a BOTTLE ROCKET!:eek: :eek: :cool:
And NOX is chemical supercharging!;)

AAAWWW yes, I forgot he was hooked up now.:) Can you say "one interesting race"(until Tom runs out of juice;))

[MNYPNNY]

How am I going to pack? I don't want to check luggage.........

[svxfiles]

Young Tom is younger(:rolleyes: ) with probably faster reflexes, a manual transmission with a higher power to the ground ratio(85% over 75%) and a chemical supercharging system that, when properly modulated allways delivers more than the advertised rating, ie; 165hp might actually be 195hp...
That said, I am just looking forward to seeing my friends, relaxing for a day, and building a memory.

I love Reading.:cool:

Priceless!!!:D

[TomsSVX]

:( thanks tom.....:(

Tom:D

[Earthworm]

You forgot the 12mm. You'll need them to steal his cams :D

[TomsSVX]

I don't have the cams in my silver...yet... Money just hasn't been there and I have been focused on oher things lately. I am going to do a partial build on my spare motor if I don't blow up my current one

To anyone concerned about weather, I am looking to find a portable car-port or a large tent to park cars under if it does rain. So if anyone knows of someone or knows a place we could rent the tent from for the day or two.... let me know

Tom

[TomsSVX]

ok did a little looking online and found something. If no one already has something I will stop at a local walmart and pick up a car canopy. I can use it at home too if I have a car in the garage but still need to work outside. Looks like there may be a donation jar at the tech sessions to cover it...:rolleyes:

Cams H3ll!
I want that tranny!!!:D

[TomsSVX]

no lucky on finding a decent sized canopy. Shiping for that one from Walmart is going to cost $320 to get it here by thursday and no stores have thm in stock:rolleyes: I really need to find something soon so please chime in if you have anything. I would much rather just rent a big tent for the day so we can park several cars under it and many people can just relax under it and chat or learn a thing or two

Tom

[wawazat??]

and I'll bring it along. It's the one in the picture but with side walls. Brand spanking new too.

Todd

[TomsSVX]

ah crap!!! I just got back from Dick's. I got a 12'x12' canopy with screen sides:rolleyes: oh well. We can hang out in mine and use your's for any work:)

Looking forward to Reading :D where I can finally show up in an actual SVX to prove once and for all to Jesse that I do indeed own more than just SVX parts :D

I'm bumming over the rain. I borrowed a 1984 Porsche 928 S for tomorrow so I had something nice to drive since my SVX is gone and I didn't want to drive the SUV. I'm still coming, but at alot slower pace than anticipated, or desired.

[SVXRide]

Well, it's pouring down rain down here in southern Maryland (7:24pm). Hope it has let up by the time I hit the road at O-Dark Thirty Saturday morning...
-Bill

[svxcess]

So far, haven't heard anything about the "Meet Monster" rearing his ugly head for Reading 8.


As this point I'm more concerned about the "Meet Mother" (as in Mother Nature) wanting to give an encore performance...
.

[LarryIII]

John,

We'll be bringing the Meet Monster again this year.

Also, there will be a special presidential citation award for outsanding service to the SVX community given to you know who (yipes....did he say zebra stripes).

We Also have a couple of SUBARU logo backpacks for young kids. I'm sure we can find some children of SVXers for them.


Did I mention Italian Pastry????;)

Maybe God didn't like the way Mother Nature treated us last year. He reprimanded her, told her to shape up and stop causing us angst, took back the SVX he gave her on loan and is now cruising on his own...


BTW, God's SVX is a Pearlie with white interior. No wing... doesn't need 'em :cool:

Or maybe He's super happy over the pimp SVX that John and Tom built up for Him :D :D :D

[SVX-FF]

Steve

[Hocrest]

Maybe you're on to something.... two years ago Subafreak sacrificed his car, and look what that got us last year :mad:

Do you think that we should sacrifice a Civic to keep Him happy?

Steve

[Hocrest]

Lets look over the attendance list to see what we have available...

04. Tigershark (hopefully driving my own Porsche next year)
20. subeman90 (Baja or 82 Soob)
24. TomsSVX and Dan (brother with the tt Z32)
28. SVX-FF (sport'n the 4 wheel box, a Volvo )
45. rufus in his newest toy: SIlver Porsche Cayman


I say we rule out Subeman, Even though He has an SVX He loves all Soobs equally... That leaves the Z, the brick and the Porsches...

[TomsSVX]

the Z won't be there... The ECU is at Jim Wolfe technologies getting an upgrade
