Dear Mr Linehan,

Thank-you for your message regarding the SVX event in Torquay on June 10.

You are absolutely right in being proud of your SVX - it was ahead of its time.

Please be assured, we have not forgotten either the car nor its owners.

And to prove it, if you would like to send me some photographs and basic facts and figures from the Anniverary Meeting, I will consider publishing something in our next 'I M Express' company newspaper which is also send to the press and dealers.

My address is:

Mr Arthur Fairley
Director, Media and Public Relations
Subaru (UK) Limited
Ryder Street
West Bromwich
West Midlands
B70 OEKJ


Best Regards

We are obviously making a little bit of history. If the man is serious about not forgetting the SVX, Subaru and Fuji will go up a notch in my respect.

Everybody who is coming should bring a decent camera, and get a haircut. We could be featuring in the trade press, or maybe further afield!!

Svx nuts conquer the World!!!

Joe

Hello fellow owners of the great SVX, I hope that I am not too late to gate crash the bash, I am lucky enough to be the owner of the subaru press car that autocar and the times used(dose that make me famous)she is begginig to get on a bit but she still gets looks and she is a great car too own,if just a bit expensive.
Please let me know if it will be ok to come

All are welcome. Don't even ask, just arrive.


Looking forward to talking to you, and if your car is the original prsss car, I have some classic shots for you.

Have my ferry booked for next Friday. I think I will be on my own. My friend Gerry who is a fellow Matra enthusiast will probably be sailing a boat from Jersey to Southampton that weekend.

Have to get two new tyres in the morning. Hit a protruding rock on a mountain road this week. I knew the rock was there, but I wasn't expecting the Transit that was using most of the road. Blew the front tyre, bulged the back. So I will have to get tracked and retyred for my trip. Just paid Euro35 for laser tracking last week too, no justice.

Arthur 610 may be back from a business trip, not sure.

By that we need a table or tables for a minimum of 10.

Rich, can you alert the restaurant?

Also, be good to have a few phone numbers up for Hotels and B&Bs

Thanks

Restaraunt is booked.
See you all Saturday.
Some Hotel & Guest house information on the `MEET` thread.

Rob Marcus, the UK Club founder, is able to come on Saturday, so we have an extra two for the meal, not to mention an extra car for the shoot.

Looking forward to seeing all.

Hey, I was just kidding Phil, hope Angela didn't see that!

Latest dinner list:

Phil & Belha Skuse
Phil & Angela Hill
Rich & Claire Peters
Rob & Aneta Marcus
Tony Shale
Graham from Taunton
Graham mentioned another owner?
ChrisUK if he is staying over.
Joe Devine
Arthur Monks only maybe.

That would be ten cars, eleven counting Andy who will have left for Bristol. Not bad going if we can pull it off. We can also organise some little souvenir of the event, keyring photo, baseball cap, logoed t-shirt or somewhat else. I imagine those who wanted to come and did not make it might like us to produce something to mark the occasion. Our US friends have already asked for something to show at the US meeting in July.

Roll on Saturday!

Joe

(That's Suhthun Illunoah, y'all.)

I am so excited for all of you. Just reading through this thread gives me goose pimples, or maybe those are just warts. It's also rather fitting that Anniversary, Part II, should beat Part I.

Can't wait for the pix! Have a great time!

Richard,

This "Steps Bistro" place sounds rather upmarket. Are we having a "Black Tie" dinner, or is Casual dress acceptable?

Phil & Belha.

I wanna be there, darn it! Unfortunately, my SVX has neither the "snorkle" mod nor the BCA SST Mod. Golly gee whillickers, ya'll think of us poor yanks while you're getting together and raise a glass in our honour, if you don't mind. I'd bite my arm off to be there.

Best of British, to you all.

Could the organisers (well done again to you, excellent job!) summarise the Saturday schedule, meet location directions and, of course, dress code for the day and evening - my Tux hasn't seen the light of day for an awful long time and I'm afraid it may be somewhat dated (and moth-eaten!!).

Looking forward to meeting you all on Saturday.

Dear All,
Some questions answered;
If slumming it is 0% and going really posh is 100% then Steps Bistro is about 75 - 80 % ,so you can work out what to wear from that.
Directions will be given out on a sheet along with vital phone numbers and other information on the day. You already have directions to the Cafe( on the `MEET` thread),so you can at least arrive!
Souveniers of the occasion,I will help if I can. Perhaps someone has got an idea ? I can get keyrings,but you normally have a minimum order of 500,if you are doing your own design,so a tee-shirt might be a more short term answer. Perhaps a small but discrete car sticker ( 10 anniversary)? p.s. tried to get someone from Subaru Uk along but no luck. Can anyone pull any strings?
The local newspaper is doing a write up tomorrow. Available on the Net. ( West country Publications or Herald Express, thursdays edition of `The Drive Section`)
