different pace SVX

Guys, how many SVXes are turned into pace/police cars?

I am aware of the PPG purple pace, I posted the white pace in Japan, and somewhere, I have seen a yellow pace SVX -- if I recall correctly.

Anyone else aware of how many were made/converted? Since pace car subject came out on the meet thread, I thought I might ask people here.

A yellow pace-SVX???

That would be a sight to see....althought I don't think it would serve its function as a pace car if Randy was driving behind.....if he didn't ram the offending coloured car out of the way, then he would probably overtake it!

Bring on yellow SVX's for all!!!

I just thought of a terrible situation....

What would happen if (God forbid!) Randy would come down with...

.....Jaundice?

He could get over the illness with medication...but could he get over the tint he saw when he looked in the mirror?

The brush off...

Remember Ipana toothpase? It sat upside down on its large cap so that the paste was always ready to squeeze out... Don

Just WARN some of us first, before we happen upon them by accident. I hear keyboards and monitors don't take well to vomit.

Talking Mission Giallo Fly

Well...the mission went as follows:

My girlfriend and I (ok...I alone) convinced my friend to drive us out to the dealership (about 1/2 hours drive away) - he has a 328 BMW coupe which he is unfortunately selling so I won't get to see the SVX -v- 328 grudge match (I have a magazine comparison of the two somewhere....must post it)...anyways

We get there and cruise by....Cass (g/f) HATES yellow cars (a kindred spirit Randy!!) and Chad was curious to see it in yellow.....both voiced negative sentiments.

We hopped out and had a look and since they had not yet shut, I thought we could hang around and then take some photos (stops them calling the police!)

But no.....Chad grabs the camera and starts taking FLASH photos....I run away since I may have to eventually buy a car from there and don't want to be equated with a psycho stalker of SVX's (moi?? ) and hide down the road...eventually they come and pick me up (sitting on a kerb looking like I was up to no good) and they said that they had good stories if anyone questioned them:

Cass: "My friend wants to buy one but has never seen one and is working today so I am taking a photo. (6 marks out of 10)"

Chad: "I have a bet with my friend that no-one would build something as ridiculous looking as this....I just made $100 (10 out of 10)"

Its growing on me but it is LOUD!!!!

Anyways, I will get the photos developed and put them up.

Mission accomplished....opps, the constabulary approaches!

<I just wanted to say Halo everybody Halo !!!>

It seems like a Prell of a long time since we've heard from you Larry, but your knowledge of such consumer trivia is Head and Sholders above the rest..
