Sounds good to me, if you're really going to go through all that...

[Sonar]

Sure, why not .... I'm going home anyway

and a couple of photos is just fun.

Mr. Pockets , I just realized a funny thing, we have the same lineup of cars... I also have one SVX a Justy and a Legacy Wagon

Ha! That is funny!

The Justy is my daily driver - I store it during the winters. I actually just visited the SVX this weekend. The battery didn't have quite enough to start the car, so I had to jump it with the Justy.

The Justy is also my 'race car.' I autocross it - I'm hoping to put some decent tires on it for this season.

I wanted studs for the SVX when I lived in VT, but I never felt that I needed anything more than my Dunlop all-seasons. Those did fine by me in any snow that wouldn't hang the car up anyway. I did eventually buy the previous owner's snow tires and wheels (weird story, there). Steel SVX wheels with Nokian NRW tires. I've never gotten the chance to use them, so they sit in the basement.

Thoose Nokian tires (Finnish) are awsome, belive me !!

A year ago I was able to travel about 400 miles without having to fill er up, this was after I had some work done on the car. Now I can get about 200 miles. If only I knew what it was that fixed the gas milage...

i safely get 400 miles out of EVERY tank of fuel.

i will getting the nokians too, when i burn through these crappy blizzaks.

I always use 93 octane, mobil 1 synthetic, and my tranny has been flushed.... still... on hte highway I get about 400 a tank, and a max of 24.5 mpg. In town, I get around 17-20, or 260-330ish miles to a tank. I do not see how 29+mpg is possible. Maybe a FWD svx that had dirty injectors so it wasn't using much fuel... or something like that.

Fine, then I'm a liar and we'll leave it at that.

Don't fret Sonar, there's a huge gathering of AngloSVXophiles who believe in you - I didn't christen you SuperSonic for nothing-----did I ?

[B]Sonar,

This is totally out of the subject, but i could not help to look through your locker for the SVX that went 276 km/h

If it's the the Ant its the Ant(enna), and if its the one in the middle on the left it adjust the headlights for load or makes tham them marginally less useless if turned all the way to the right.

Naaah, I refuse to worry, I'm 2 darn stubborn (at least my wife says )

But remember 2 check my posts of the "journey" at the weekend...

And I JUST LIKE the nick....
