Add one more to California!
Well I think I've been teasing it in various threads in the SW forum for years, but now it's official. As of mid-July my SVX and I will be hitting California soil and staying put.
First step will be to see if I can pass emissions with 240,000 miles on the odo. I'm leaving behind a great group of SVX owners up here in WA, most of whom I call close friends. After 12 years of running events up here, that tends to happen. Hoping to get a similar experience going down in Cali some day, though it's a challenge I'm sure. My family and I will be settling into the San Jose area. Hope to meet some of you face to face one of these days!

Re: Add one more to California!
Hey Troy.
Welcome to California! I'm Armando (AlcyoneSVX). I'm in the L.A. area. I think it would be great to get a California meet going and meet some more SVX owners. My work schedule is a bit tricky, but with some proper planning, I'm sure I can swing a few extra days off to attend a gathering. I've owned my SVX for fifteen years, but I've only been a forum member for eight months, so I'm just now getting to know some of the other owners. (better late the never!)

Re: Add one more to California!
Thanks guys!
Been here about a week and still settling in but already enjoying the consistent sunshine! Flying back up to WA in a few weeks to retrieve my SVX and plan to take a nice scenic route all the way down the coast over a few days. Izack - You, Glen, and I will definitely have to touch base some time with a NorCal mini meet up there sometime. Years ago there were 3 or 4 members right in the San Jose area but they seemed to disappear. Armando - Were you one of the ones at the Subaru show about a month ago with the really nice looking SVXes? I know there are a couple others down south as well, including the 2 JDM models. Give me some time, but once I get settled in and get my bearings, I would really like to put together something "worth the trip" down on the central coast or somewhere. My wife took me to Avila Beach last Friday and that was a nice area, or I'm sure there's lots of other nice spots "halfway" between everyone as well.
