New Zealand Sighting

Hi all.

So far I have not met one NZ SVX owner on my tour of the south island - disappointing.

BUT - I did spot a SILVER SVX with the BBS wheels and late model grill (silver) here in Invercargill today (Mon 1 Sept).

Does it belong to anyone here on the forum? Saw it twice but couldn't stop as I was in the Tour car with the rest of the band.

RINGO

Cool Re: New Zealand Sighting

Well my Local Pub here in Auckland (Browns Bay, on the North Shore ) called "Speakers Corner" has 4 SVX owners - only problem was I have only ever seen the 4 cars parked side by side once (and I left the camera at home!!).

But I have met another 3 Aucklanders over the years who also own SVXs.

They are NUTSHL, TREVOR & HAIRY - all really keen SVX owners like me.
