Catching up with other SVX owners
Guys
See as the thread is a bit slow I thought I might put up a suggestion I do a lot of travelling in my SVX and are in most capital cities on the East coast at some point. I figure that some of you might like a drive in a SVX with a 5 speed gear box. My old girl is a bit tied and has a dint in the drived door from the last Roo but it still runs well and soon it will have the DMS struts fitted as well as the PWR radiator. To give you a idea of distance I travel in it I have put 50,000 k on since March this year so chance are I will be some were near each of you in the next 6 months. Anyone interested, how about you Harvey as you helped me sort out the speedo etc? Tony

anytime in the big smoke
Hi Tony , by all means let us know when you are in town on business or pleasure. I would love to "feel" a manual SVX, but also real keen on the DMS shocks - I did contact them (thanks for the info) and while on the $ side a bit high at least they are rebuiltable and not just once off. Jason is not far way from here, we had a mini-meet so to speek a few weeks back, he was driving past and spotted my red SVX in the drive way and I spotted his charcol SVX pulling up and I think it was a look of amazement for both of us - we'd never met but on here.
So sure let us know when in Sydney - you drive the Vortex as well sometimes. cheers bruce |

Berger I go to Melbourne about once a month as I have a daughter in Uni there so we can catch up. I have a second daughter in Sydney but most times fly down but I still go there in the SVX about 5 times per year so I feel sure we can get together some time in the future. Matt had a drive in the Gold Coast when I went to the Indy last week. I think his comment afterwards summed it up "Why the hell didn't Subaru bring it out with a manuel, its a totally different car".
I think they are the best car ever made so happy to share the pleasure of a 5 speed with you guys. Tony
