'The Australian' wants to do an article on the SVX!
 

I received this email today - and *begins a torrent of foul language that would put a dockworker to shame* I DON'T HAVE ONE!!! *composes himself....deep breath........*

:D


Hi James,

I hope you don't mind this form of introduction but I'm trying to track down
an owner of an SVX to do a report for the motoring section of The Australian
newspaper and happened to come across your SVX site on the net.

Basically we publish our Motoring section every Thursday and try to include
what we call an "Auto Affair" which is a small article and picture of
some
interesting automotive machinery. I thought the SVX would make an
interesting article, particularly as there were only about 250 sold here.

I contacted Subaru Australia recently - without success - to try and find
out if they knew of any SVX owners out there who'd be willing to talk to us.

If you, or anyone you know who owns an SVX would be interested in talking to
me then I'd certainly appreciate it.

I can be contacted by email:

or phone



Thanks,
Neil McDonald
Motoring Writer,
The Australian.


So fellow inhabitants of the land down under...any takers???

James

:( because I don't have one yet

*cry wail*

Jamnosvx
:p

James,
I have two, now. You're welcome to borrow one of mine. Come and get it. :)


<I know I'm evil, but, I owe him for taunting me with that hideous yellow car. :D>

You cruel cruel man!!! The evil twin must have taken over the Randy of old!!!

:D

Would you believe there is a phobia of the fear of yellow??? Its Xanthophobia!!!

:p

hey there james
 

So what do you actually have to do?? Do you have to borrow someones SVX and take it for a spin with a guy from the newspaper in it, and then they review it??

There is also a phobia of manly women carrying circular sharp objects, called Zenaphobia. :D:D:D

Re: hey there james
 

No....until now *evil grin* I need your SVX for a few days.....some high speed runs etc :D

I think that he want to hear (email??) from an owner about owning one....are you interested????

James

This is the reporters response:

James,
The nature of the "auto affairs" is to talk to owners (Q and A) about
what
motivated them to buy their cars, how long they'd had them and just a
general look at the history of the vehicles concerned. It all takes about 10
minutes by phone.
We usually have one of our photographers meet the owner and get a pic of
them with their car. The Q and A's are done over the phone.
We don't drive the cars... it's more of a look at the motivation behind
owning certain classic, modern or just plain unusual vehicles.
Let me know how you go.
Cheers Neil

Go for it, James. If they take the photo correctly, no one will be able to tell it's a cardboard cutout --- except for the fact that it's parked in your living room. :D

That would be the yellow cutout that I made and take into traffic occassionally, steering wheel from a wrecked JDM SVX in hand and rear light panel plus battery tied around my neck.

"Whaddya mean do I have an SVX???? I AM AN SVX!!!"

:D
