I have to say thank you very very much to everyone who came to this meet. I'll have stats in my locker later this week.
But I must say thanks to Matt more than anyone else cause he did lots and lots of stuff that I couldn't do.
I'm absolutely amazed that we got the number of cars we did... and that everyone found our meeting place!
After I gather my thoughts and my pictures, I'll post a more fitting rendition....

Yes that meet was so much fun! I loved meeting everyone, as they were so very nice. And all the beautiful SVX's! So neat seeing so many SVX's in one place!

Driving all together was really neat to.. very funny to see the looks on people's faces as all these SVX's drove by them!

Cant wait for the next meet, hopefully Vegas!

And ill have to bring my car this time.

Thanks for the wonderful time everyone.

I think this meet was voted the best Subaru SVX meet in Reno.

Careful ... you know what happened at the "voted best father's day buffet in Reno "!!!!!

Alycone · #**306** 06-25-2004, 05:13 PM

Yups. You got me a free meal.

On the way home I stopped at Reno's best grocery store.

Hi everyone,

Just want everyone to know that my gang had a great time. One never knows how teens will respond to 'dad's thing', but I think the boys concluded that SVX's and those that drive them are okay! I enjoyed my first SVX meet and appreciate all who made time to join in!

Mitch- We had a nice run down the backside of Tahoe on hwy 50. Really, THAT was the perfect SVX road. Glad we could share it together.

Dayle- My guys loved your car, they said Dayle has 'some really good stuff'. We had dinner a couple hours before everyone else arrived at Silver Legacy, but my guys did not want to leave until you came. Thanks for all your generosity! We appreciate it beyond words. Wish we had more time to talk cars, so, we will make more time next round.

Michelle- Thanks for your efforts to make the meet a reality. The top of the Sands was the perfect hangout for our SVXs.

Keith- Just when we were tired and ready to call it a night, you kept us all laughing. Finally, around midnight, we left, but the boys never said, 'Come on dad, let's go'. Oh by the way, I love my wheels, and the taller tires make car faster than yours!!

Dustin- Glad you could make it, you also came along way. Between you and Keith, my boys came to realize that SVXs were fast cruisers, and that 'dad' wasn't the only one that liked to drive them.

Jason- The first to greet us at In&Out, thanks! Didn't know you were leaving early, wish I could have said See Ya Later.

Matt- Thanks for the maps and for keeping us all in site. You were the sheep-dog we needed, managing to get us all on the road at the same time. Wouldn't have been the same without you.

Garrett- Really loved our Run to Reno. Hwy 80 can be fun and challenging, with all the altitude changes and trucks to play. And your cute playmate made the drive to Reno even more fun. She's a gem.

Wes- Generally the head of the pack. Classy guy, classy car, ONE total class act! We really enjoyed meeting you. Thanks for making time for us. Best of luck in your new place and look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Naomi- You probably learned alot about your car, especially that it would easily reach 100! You traveled with a fast crowd. Glad you could bring your new ride to the party.

Ally- You were the shy, quiet one, but you could never go un-noticed. Glad you made it. Thanks for explaining MICA.

Until the next adventure,

Ron,,,

David, Jon and Ricky

Well I didn't make the Reno meet, but I felt like I was almost there in spirit.

See, we drove to Lake Tahoe this last weekend, which interestingly enough, was the orginal weekend for the Reno meet, up until a few months ago when the weekend changed. Also, way back when, Tahoe was one of the orginial locations. So I guess we just kinda stuck to the original plan.

It was beautiful there though, would definitely make a great place for a meet. The roads around there are awesome too, I was wishing I had drove the SVX.

Another interesting thing, I'm sure it was coincidence, but it was almost like several others were on the year old meet plan - we counted no less than 5 different SVXes within a couple mile radius of the south Tahoe "strip" over the weekend! Never got a chance to talk to any of them, but it was kinda funny. Also saw a sixth one on the way out of town west on 50 Monday morning, a pearlie abandoned on the side of the road with CA plates. As we passed, a CHP was just making a U turn to go tag it probably.

Also saw our 7th SVX of the week just over the OR border in WA, followed it all the way to Olympia before he lost us. Nice shiny red with personalized OR plates.

Anyone here cruising around Tahoe this last weekend?

Alright, I finally came up with all the pictures. Took me a while to sort them. Enjoy: www.04RenoSVXmeet.tk

Btw, i can't upload videos, they are too big, and I only have about 5 megs of room left there. I'll see what i can do about that.

nik

BTW, double click on the pictures if they are too big, they will get smaller, i don't know why.

Motorsport-SVX · #**310** 07-01-2004, 12:22 AM

anyone going to another meet HAS to bring a co-pilot !!
You get so many better pics when you have someone
with you to take them while the driver is "driving" !!! LOL

Thanks for the pics. Nice. However, double click and it will go smaller? I did that but it wouldn't get smaller. I also don't know why. It just won't go to fit the screen.

Instead of using the .tk site (which adds advertising and messes up resizing) just use the actual link:

Good pics Nik! Thanks for taking a close up of the paint chips on my hood.

The pics get smaller when you click IF you have the Automatic Image Resizing enabled (in IE under Options>Advanced>Multimedia). In the first page, the image is part of the HTML so it displays full size. When you click on the image, a link directly to the picture opens and the image gets automatically resized to the size of the window.

Aly, you just need to train your copilot. If he doesn't listen, you can always make sushi out of him.
