Who is this?

[stallion]

Just curious. I searched a "rally SVX" and this is all that showed up, along with it in action. Nice shoes FTW

[triumph1902]

That's Dick Cheney.

[R. Augur]

Holy Crap!!! It is the VP:eek:

Who would have thought that he was hiding out in Alaska Rally'in the SVX?

Now I don't resent that he got a $1.9 mil tax refund, transmissions are expensive.

A Subaru SVX won the Alcan Rally in 1991.

Ok... first I thought triumph was joking that its dick cheney but uh.... IT really IS him?!! wtf?!?!?! I looked up yahoo images and compared a photo of dick cheney and that rally old guy... LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME! He drives an SVX? and rallys it?!?! woww!!!!!!! (not sarcastic) :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

[Drewbaru]

I just wish the old guy wasn't blocking the car...
(as I'm sure that's NOT DICK)

[dynomatt]

I'd also be interested to find out more about this car...if anything shows up about it (specs, results etc) I'd be very keen to hear about it.

Thanks,
Matt

Search a pic of Dick Cheney on Yahoo Images, now compare it with that guy. You'd be suprised :confused:

[NapaBavarian]

Looks like Richard VP :confused: is there a gun rack in the back to he can quickly grab his already loaded firearm should he come across a lawyer? :rolleyes: :D

[R. Augur]

He even has that million dollar Dick Cheney smile; just fills the heart with joy.

Did anyone notice the Subaru Rally team inspired shoes?

[Speedklix]

Did anyone notice the Subaru Rally team inspired shoes?

so i'm not seeing things?!

[NikFu S.]

This guy has popped up before, and it's not Dick Cheney.
I have some pics of the car in action, but on my desktop which I don't feel like powering up.
They are also in someone's locker.

[SVX-FF]

how did he win in 91 when the SVX came out in 92? I am so confused :confused:

Steve

[msvx95]

If it was truly Dick, he'd have a rifle in his one hand...and he'd have his other hand over his chest...wincing in pain for yet....another heart attack

[It's Just Eric]

...Mabey he drove the prototype and crashed it...thats why it ceaces to exist

Just a theroy

[NapaBavarian]

The pic can't be from '91, look at the car in the background...

Oh yeay, '92 was the first model year, from what I have researched it looks like production started somewhere in early '91, probably january/febuary

[It's Just Eric]

Its kind of like how they start selling the 2006 models like halfway through 2005. Why? I dont know

Either way...they ran the rally with a brand spankin new svx.

[Earthworm]

Either way...they ran the rally with a brand spankin new svx.That's the only way the tranny would have survived :D

[Hocrest]

The pic can't be from '91, look at the car in the background...

The "Dick Cheyney" pic is not from the 1991 Al-Can. The comment about the Al-Can was Hijacked into the thread.

[bwb3]

Not hijacked, just thought it might be the source of the photo.
