IIRC, we had 9 at the 1st UK meet and 7 at the 2nd.

Doesn't sound like much, but 9 cars is about 3% of the total SVX's ever imported into the UK. So percentage-wise, I think we hold the record

Well done! I agree on the percentage thing! What were the dates and locations?

Were there any group drives involved, and how many cars in the drives?

The first Smokies Meet, April 20-22 2001 we had 17 SVX's show up.

The last Smokies Meet Oct., 17-19 2003 we had 11 cars (9-SVX & 3 XT6).




And I thought there were only 84 at the 10 Anniversary meet.....

The 1st meet was in Torquay, Devon on 7/8 June 2002.
Attendees: Rich&Claire, Angie&Phil, Andy, Tony, Joe, Graham, Chris, Rob, Us

The 2nd was in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire on 16/17 Aug 2003.
Attendees: TonyShale, Arthur, Angie&Phil, Ian, Andy, Matt&Claire, Us

I think the most we ever had driving in convoy was 7.

This year's UK meet is on 24/25 July at the Japanese Auto Extravaganza.

Yes, and I took everybody at the VT meet on probably the longest drive done at a meet. I don't remember how many miles it was, though. Somewhere I still have some extra maps I made...

does anyone that the colorado meet last summer remember how long our drive was from evergreen up to mt. evans and then over to idaho springs? i couldn't even guess how many miles. i'd do a run myself this weekend to measure the distance, but i don't think the road is open yet. one thing i can say is that the mt. evans meet is certainly the highest (over 14,000 feet)!

Not counting family, friends & groupies, there were 13 SVX owners, 12 SVXes, & 1 XT6. One third of the owners were named Mike. There would have been one more car, but the owner wimped out & caved to his wife's demands.


Ron (Looking forward to this year's Mike meet).
