Pennant Hills Road Carlingford

Charcoal grey SVX
Rego: SVX 093 (NSW plate)

Sounded like it had an aftermarket exhaust - I was waiting at a bus-stop when it went past - oh, the indignity!!

Aftermarket exhaust ............. NOOOOOOOOO!



(I am a big fan of the standard exhaust - discrete, yet it has an assertive note!)

Here is the pic that I took when I saw it on Sunday, April 4th, at Newport.

That number plate was very familiar - I think it was the one from Tamworth but that was in a dealer...or it may have been the one from the Harbour Bridge car park - a bit hard to check from over hear.

Anyone going to go check it out?

Talking White SVX Spotted (AGAIN!)

You may remember that several months ago, I spotted a white SVX on Victoria Road (ANC-54H)!

Well.........I saw it AGAIN!!



7:15pm, Thursday 5th August, parked on Darling Street, Balmain.

I had my camera with me this time, so I took this shot (from a discrete distance!)



I have decided to carry my camera with me at all times - just in case I happen to spot an SVX!!!

Whoo, there goes another one.!!

Jason, I think you will have to become James's understudy.

"Have camera will chase".

I've had my SVX for 6 years, and have only seen two others, Blakes and Pete's.

HAT

Hat is a funny plate- it must be a 92

I haven't seen an svx in ages and i'm feeling that it could be drive time soon though i'm booked for the net few weekends with work stuff. I miss this site too- not sure how much net monitoring they do at work and i don't want to look like a bludger so hence my absence. Will keep my eyes forever scanning the traffic around me for the elusive svx.

Talking ANOTHER Charcoal Grey SVX Spotted!

I cannot believe it - I have seen ANOTHER SVX that I have not seen before!!!!



Saturday, 28th August, 9:45am, on Mona Vale Road, North Ryde (near the Epping Road overpass)

Rego : MRS - 17J (Black on White NSW plates)

Although I was driving my SVX at the time, I was stuck at the traffic lights at the intersection of Mona Vale Road and Epping Road, and I could not turn around in time to chase it! (I was heading south on Mona Vale Road, it was heading north)



..........it just isn't fair - I see all of these SVXs, and I am never able to chase them!!!!

3 sightings 2 days!

Wow i had a huge Friday and Sat!

On Friday lunchtime i spotted a YELLOW svx waiting at lights at dee why. I pulled over and took a pic with my phone and thought he would pull over and chat but he went in the opposite direction awww. Looked awesome

Then on Friday night when i was going out someone called me and said there was one parked at oakhill shops. I was in the Castle Hill area and i sped there and met my sister car- exactly the same (mine was cleaner hoho). Had a penrith Subaru sticker on the back. I parked next to it and took a pic. waited 15 mins but owners were not in sight so i left.

Then i also saw MRS 17J- the one Jason saw on Sat arvo at Gordon but i was a passenger in another car. Very exciting

Unbelievable - Two of us saw the SAME SVX on the SAME DAY!



......and as luck would have it - neither of us could chase it!



......well, that SVX is not getting away next time!!



By the way, I know Gordon quite well - where exactly did you see it?

Jason.
