Do we really have a world network where the active member participation rate is only 6%?

Re: Active members

There are a huge number of members who have been gone for many, many years. That scues the numbers.

P.S. Woo Hoo! I'm a 6 percenter!

Re: Active members

The SVX facebook group is probably the most active "fourm" for this chassis these days. I've joined it, but the amount of misinformation, poorly chosen/executed modifications keeps me from participating.

Re: Active members

With a unique marque, which keeps getting older, you cannot expect growth in numbers. Maybe not a big poster, I will still remain loyal.

Cool Re: Active members

The Facebook group is nothing more than the old Yahoo format with pics, & sloppy grammar. I fail to see its attraction. For the record, I still have the semi-pristine ebony, sharing its drive time with a Miata, & a Pacifica. Amongst all three I log less than 5K per year. Retirement does that to ya'.

Re: Active members

I'm semi-active. It is a lot of more active over 10 years ago.

After I move overseas, selling both my SVXi and getting rid off all the parts I have.
I will be less than semi-active.

But I will always remember my User name and password, logging in once in a while.


PS: how are you, John? I still have the manual you gave it to me on the alternator mod from your pearlie from one of the Reading.

Re: Active members

i was wondering the same but like other members have noted, it's an uncommon car that is getting older and rarer each day. I too wish there was more activity as i recently bought my 2nd SVX after a 14 year gap when i sold the first one. She's a 92 with 59k on it and worth the wait.

Re: Active members

With my SVX parked I've gone to much more of a lurker status. Right now I'm working 7 days a week, planning a wedding, and putting time and money into my flying when I can so the car thing has really taken a back seat. Hopefully this summer I'll be able to start cutting metal (and maybe something more) and getting the restoration of my car underway properly.
