Cynthia, who has definite opinions on what made my pearlie look good has a burgundy/black Citroen 2CV Charleston.

Her opinions of the spoiler and the 97 grille can be found in my post http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...3443#post13443)

Well, if you want a study in contrast between two cars that have funny windows and a cult following, look no further. If Larry would clean out the garage just a little more, "babette" could probably squeeze in between just fine.

What are you people trying to do!! Us mere mortals, hanging upside down as we are on the underside of the world, are now very depressed.....Cassie refuses to consider an SVX for her first car (come to think of it, she doesn't even have a licence!) and so my 2 car SVX collection will have to wait...then you ghouls post shots of 2 SVX garages......oh the humanity!!!



Seriously, very impressive!!

Big shiny butts!!

Hey Larry,

That looks terrriffic!! If one SVX in a garage is one-up-manship, two SVXs definitely borders on snobbery.

Word of warning. You seem to have serious structural sag on that lintel. Is it safe to have your cars under that???

Now Cynthia is a Lady of taste and we have one in our street who pop, pops past now and again at quite an impressive speed.

They do say, or used to say, that on a windy down hill stretch of road it is/ was impossible to keep up with a French farmer taking his eggs to market, and he got them there with not a one damaged.

The wheel in the background behind that green car draws my interest. What is it ?

Oval balls are better.

Hey Trevor,

I thought you had gone to ground since we started giving Antipodean teams a hard time up here.

Get to see any of the matches?

And if you guys really think Lomu is over the hill, I expect Munster might take him off your hands for a season or two

Joe,

It is not a lintel (beam, here in the USA) that you think is sagging. It is the center of the roll-up garage door.

I also have a three car garage with a very lonely svx. Guess I now have an excuse to pick up at least one more. The third space is reserved for my 96 BMW 850 (V-12/6 speed). Jeff, I noticed your AOPA sticker. Just wondering what you fly.

Beaming with pride

Ahh, good so.

You can see I was worried about the cars, up to the owners to look after themselves

The more I see of those pearlies, the more I like them. I mentioned white is a poor selling colour round here. OK for wedding limos, the drivers got nothing better to do except keep them clean all day every day. The rest of us steer clear of them, pun intended. You can certainly see them coming, but not sure if it is the colour of them or the dirt of them.

A black car or a white car is a masochistic choice in a country with our weather and our farmers.

Joe
Keep 'em shinin'

There is a third car not in the garage. She is a green '97 Outback wagon. Her plate reads "AH SO." She alternates her time in the garage and driveway with SVXY. SUBYDOO is always garaged.

Jeff,

Your settings didn't allow me to send you a pm or reply. Anyhow, I grew up flying cessnas/pipers. Currently fly a cessna 340a. Glad to see other pilots here.

tidy garage?

I can say for sure my garage is neater than yours Larry. For sure,it has only one SVX, and a silver '99 Bravada, but it is tidy and it is heated.
Really, I am green with envy.
