8000 mile tour of USA completed - tranny stays together.
 

Retirement means time is irrelevant, so I took a 3 week jaunt from the east coast up to the Pacific Northwest, down the left coast, then through the Southwest, being chased by Ike as I raced through the South, than back home.
SVXes sighted - 14 - all of which were housed on one property in Burlington, WA. This is the short version. It's a BIG country. Actually the SVX stayed home, as I risked this trip in a '96 Dodge Caravan, now with 216K on the clock, also known for frequent slushbox meltdown. No mechanical problems encountered whatsoever. Total gas expense - $1,468.07. Coolest sight - the Pioneer Auto Museum in Murdo, SD. 225 antique vehicles including one of the General Lee-mobiles, & a Subaru 360. Life is good. ;)

Don't forget about your swim on the West Coast! The weather cooperated for that anyway! :D

Great Headline.
"SVX manages 8000 miles without transmission failure":lol:

Sounds like a fantastic adventure. I'd love to do something like that. I can't drive more than 500 miles in any direction without ending up in the sea.

Take the train to Fance, rent a car and you can drive through as many miles/countries as you want.

Sounds like a great Trip Ron!

(Would've been much more fun in the SVX though;))

you sighted wrong - thought it should be 16 or it might be another house :D

That sounds like it would be a nice central place to hold an SVX meet.

And, it was the cheapest place for a motel room with indoor plumbing - $33.00 a night. I'll have John get to work on a group rate.
