Pennsylvania! or near! looking for a svx for a review

A gentleman in Pennsylvania recently started a channel on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/user/RegularCars ,
that has become quite popular and has some very funny videos about a few different cars.

I'm here wondering if anybody would be willing to let him get a taste of an SVX for a day and post his "review" on the channel.

Thanks.

All he would tell me is "Eastern PA" He did say he would travel a little bit if things would work out.

Reading is in "Eastern PA"...

If no one else is willing, I'll let him play with my faded pear lie after I get the 5 speed in...

Re: Pennsylvania! or near! looking for a svx for a review

Sounds like hes near enough reading, Contact him at skype@ regularcars or regularcars@gmail.com. name, age, location, vehicle.

would be a fun bit of publicity for the svx.

Re: Pennsylvania! or near! looking for a svx for a review

I looked it up and started watching the Miata review. It was entertaining and a bit informative, at least enough that I'll probably check out a few more of his video reviews.

I notice his YouTube channel already has over 17,000 subscribers. And his individual videos range from around 25,000 views up to 300,000. So there's definitely some exposure there.

Enough potential exposure that it might be worth our efforts to treat this seriously and make sure that if he did decide to do a SVX review, that the car had every fighting chance to come out shining.

Of course we can't control what he says and how it's presented 100%, and I'm sure with the whole humor angle he'll poke some fun, but maybe with the right example of a SVX and someone giving him all the proper facts the SVX can be portrayed better than it was on American Top Gear recently.

I'm about as far away from Pennsylvania as possible so I can't say much, but my vote would be for some collaboration and agreement to try to find the best possible example of a near pristine SVX within an area where someone could meet with him for the review.

Re: Pennsylvania! or near! looking for a svx for a review

Agreed, though if you see some of his other reviews they really aren't that serious, the miata, mazda6, and saturn L are probably the most serious hes done, the rest are very quirky.

I have asked him and he'd be more than happy to review an svx if we could get one to him.

I thought you were a bit of glutton for punishment.
