Shoot Larry, I just made hotel reservations Friday night in DC for a wedding on Saturday. Would've met ya half way between for an evening. Bobby isn't too far from there, I'll see what he's doing Friday. You're still going to the Subie challenge next Saturday the 17th right? If allowed we'll reserve a ride for ya and see if you can hold on

Faulkner Cruise Night Sept. 2, 2005

I finally got the CD and pictures back last night from this car show. There were even 4-5 photos from Reading VI (that's 6 for all those who never had Latin in high school). Anyway, here are some photos from the car show.

The first photo is of Pearly. Notice the bra and white wheels. There is a Plymouth Road Runner on one side and an Impala S409 SS on the other.

The second photo is the 55 Olds Super 88 that I am currently lusting after.

The third photo is a 40th Anniversary Cobra that Carrol Shelby signed. The body is polished aluminum.

The fourth photo is a real original Cobra also signed that was parked in front of Pearly.

A real Cobra that's not behind a rope?? I have my doubts...unless the owner doesn't care if something happens to it.

It's just like a Yenko anything. We may see them at car shows but unless it's protected in some way it's just a replica.

I have included another photo from Chesterbrooke (Looks like I need the bra more than Pearly).
The car looks cool Larry, totally clean and shiny. Great detailing job!

You are too hard on yourself. It's too late for a bra to make a meaningful difference.

Oh, and the phrase "the beautiful naviguesser" eventually makes blinding sense. Lucky sod.

If any SVXers in the Phila. region are interested, we will be showing our car at Chesterbrooke tomorrow night. There are usually about 200-250 cars at this show. It is free to see and free to show a car. There are also good restaurants and a very good deli adjacent to the show area. (somehow you all knew that food would be involved ) The show usually runs from 5-9 PM.
Hope to see some of you there.

Subaru Car Show - New Jersey

This morning I posted on the Yahoo SVX Club site that I would be showing our car tomorrow night at Chesterbrooke. I received a reply from Rad Geller on that site about a Subaru Car Show in Westhampton, NJ on Sunday. I've posted his message below. Rosie and I will show 'PEARLY' . her SVX , at this show. So please, every SVXer in the Phila. area, please show up. Here is his post:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't make the PA show, but Subaru is having a "Motorsports Day" show on Sunday
from 10-3. I will be showing my SVX there, but it seems like the show is more
targeted towards the WRX enthusiasts. Anyone interested can check out the
following link for details:

Hope to see alot of SVXers there.

This Past Weekend

Saturday night we showed SUBYDOO ('97 SVX) at Chesterbrook, PA. It was great. This time people actually stopped and asked about the car. Some had never seen an SVX before.

Sunday, we went up to the Subaru warehouse in Rancocus, NJ for their show. We brought PEARLY ('94 SVX). Pearly had the demi-bra(as Rosie calls it) covering only the front of the hood and the white rims (17" dia.). We met Rad Geller (RadSVX) there. He had his beautiful green '94 SVX there. We had the only SVXes, except for one woman, who worked at the Subaru warehouse. She had her '94 pearl SVX there. I gave her a Network business card. We were surrounded by a sea of WRXes. Subaru had the Easy Street WRX crew, truck, and cars there. They also had svereral other 'tuned' WRXes there. In addition, there was a 2006 Spec. B Legacy sedan. I liked the car except for the exterior color. It's only available in a metallic pewter.

Subaru also gave away all the marketing trinkets and gave us tours of the warehouse ( I now know the aisles for the SVX wheel bearings and rebuilt transmissions... anyone up for some 'midnight auto' ). They also had some technical seminars, pointed mainly toward the WRX. We went to a class on Subaru's new 'Active Valve System'. I don't like it. It's too Rube Goldberg for me. Too many things can go wrong.

Subaru also had barbecue caterers there. The chicken was very good.

We had a really nice time and it was great to finally meet you, Rad.

It was a pleasure meeting you and Rosie as well, Larry.
I had a lot of fun yesterday. I'll definitely have to try to make more meets in the future.

BTW, my SVX is a '95 not a '94.

9/25/05 NJ SUBARU SHOW Pix.

Many of you know that in Sept. Rosie & I attended a SUBARU meet at their parts warehouse in Moorestown, NJ. I just posted the photos in my locker. To me the most interesting vehicles there, were the Easy Street Transporter Truck, and the Tribecca cutaway. The truck was bigger than huge and the Tribecca showed me how much plastic foam is now in modern cars.

My favorite vehicle was the caterer's barbarcue. I think it had 15" wheels and it smoked the doors off alot of chickens and burgers.

What a beautiful car, Larry. Like the wheels.

Glad to see car enthusiasts seem to be a bit more enlightened on your coast.
My attempts to show my SVX at shows with Detroit iron have been met with indifference to downright hostility. I've been told "We don't want that ****** piece of rice crap here" and "That belongs at a Rice Boy show". Must be a backlash to all the Asian "Tuners" out here in SoCal. But I don't really fit in with the "tuner" crowd either...
