Thumbs up A Love Note

Long time, no post. Well, I've had the beast for a tad over 18 years. Just as gorgeous, or more so, than on the day I bought her. Still runs 100% too. But since my retirement ages ago, & a move to the rural Blue Ridge near Blacksburg, VA, I've driven her maybe once a week mainly for exercise. I've seen maybe 3-4 SVXen locally in ten years. I get very little, "What'n hay-ill's that thing? these days. Kids stare at screens, not cars.

So, while on a vittle run to Kroger in Christiansburg, VA yesterday, imagine my surprise to find a note under the wiper. It read, & I'll quote - "Had to leave a love note. I own #5247 Alpine white. Hope to see you around town. Sean" Well, we all know it's Pearl white, so It can't be an informed member in here. And I've never seen anyone refer to a build number. So, guess I'll just have to keep driving around town trying to spot an Alpine with Sean at the wheel. But, if any of you devotees have an inkling as to who this fellow might be, let me know. I need to have a conversation with a local SVX nut over a few afternoon beers. Ron.
