Ah, Hood river it's about 320 miles from here. I really want to make the meet... with my SVX. Was gonna tear the tranny out and do the flex plate, but i'll bet the car would probably make it. I have seen at least a dozen SVXes around town, don't know why I don't see more on the site, would be nice to trip with another Spokanite in case the car fails. Forgot the dates Aug. 28? Can't imagine what it would cost if the car failed., out there. Still my mother says my sister got all the brains so I might come anyway... even if I have the radiator plugged with epoxy putty.
