Most of the maybes are the locals. Wes Brock at ED Subaru, is contacting them, and will let me know when he knows. There are only a couple of the SVX net readers who might show. Larry III and mohrds had expressed interest, but are going to PA instead. Molar Marauder is a maybe, but haven't heard from him yet. Ditto Micah S. in SC, plus one or two others. But hey, if it was just us two, it would be a blast.

I-81
Bill,
I will be coming down I-81 by way of Johnson City, where I have to pick up my old bud Barry. Got any special directions for me since I'm coming down that way? Thanks...Don |

I-81 Directions
Don
Continue south on I-81, it will merge into I-75 east of Knoxville. Continue west on I-75 through Knoxville. From there, just follow the directions I posted earlier. Do be careful on I-75 - lots of traffic (read trucks), especially east of downtown Knoxville. The interstate there is in bad need of upgrading. We are now up to 10 cars that I am sure of, plus possibly as many as 7 locals, not including myself or Tim. It's going to be great! Were you able to get your accomodations arranged satisfactorily?

Well folks, it looks like there will be a slight change of plans. The woman and I won't be able to ride together up to the meet.
Nope, instead, I will be driving my SVX alone and she will also be driving her "new" SVX to the meet. So mark us down for 2 parking spaces when we get there. It's another black 92 LS-L touring with everything but the spoiler (thats how we will tell them apart). Very well maintained with 100k on it. The tranny shifts smooth as silk. A steal for 5500. Previous owner fell prey to the SUV craze with a montero sport. What will the neighbors think? Actually - I have neighbors with matching F*rd Escort sports - Bwah hahahaha Needless to say, she has been drooling over my SVX for quite a while, (a real PITA to clean up) I have been trying to convince her to get a WRX instead, but we walked into a great deal and now I can no longer use the "my car is cooler than yours" excuse to reserve the one car garage.

OK, we'll be sure to clear out another parking spot. Look forward to seeing your "carvan" arrive. Are you planning to make it to the Friday evening reception?

We should be racing in about the time the reception starts, maybe earlier if I can duck the boss at work and bail out early.
Hey! we put in our time About 4 years ago we were a 2 - 89 DL wagon family - they were both even the same color (red and rust). She also had an 86 GL hatchback (I liked that one) at one time. My older brother had an 87 GL sedan, and now drives a 92 legacy wagon. My dad drives a 96 legacy wagon. I gave my younger brother my 89 DL wagon. But the woman and I have both finally graduated to the king of subies

it brings a tear of joy to my eye to see all of those subarus listed there.
my parents have a legacy wagon, my grandparents a forrester....and my brother went through two GL wagons. although he blew the engine on one and broke the drive train on the other....he had a lot of fun thrashing about in the woods and on the beach--beating the snot out of them until they finally gave in. he put alot of his friends' 4x4 trucks to shame. now's he jealous of my svx. heh....he'll never get it from me. toby |

maybe this is unusual but if possible can you give me a call at work, 877-723-4267, so i can get a cell phone number or something. just in case i get lost i want to be able to get in touch with someone. what time does the reception begin? i may need to leave work early if i plan on making it. where did you say the hotels were listed? just trying to get all of my ducks in a row.

Funny you should ask
I just sent you a private message with my home and cell phone numbers in it. If it doesn't show up shortly, let me know, and I'll give you a call tomorrow sometime.
The official headquarters hotel is the Garden Plaza, 1 800 3 GARDEN. Be sure to mention the Subaru SVX Meet, and request a chair accessible room. Hopefully, there are some left in the block reservation. If you can't get what you need from them: Here are other hotels in Oak Ridge, in case you can't get in on the block reservation at the Garden Plaza. All are within a few blocks of each other. All telephone numbers are in the 865 Area Code. I've posted local numbers, since you can usually do better dealing with them directly, rather than with a centralized reservations office. Comfort Inn 481-8200 Days Inn 483-5615 Hampton Inn 482-7889 Jameson Inn 483-6809 Oak Ridge Inn & Suites 483-4371 Ridge Inn Plaza 482-9968 Super 8 483-1200 Let me know if the PM doesn't show up, somehow.

A reminder
Less than 3 weeks to go. If you're coming, and haven't notified me, please do so ASAP.
Also, a reminder - all times given are for EDT. We're on the very western edge of the Eastern Time Zone, but still in it. Set your clocks accordingly. See you in 3.
