Talking My first stalker & a couple of sales

Dropping my son off at work this morning, and as I'm pilling out a guy materializes in front of the car waving his arms...I stop, roll down my window as he walks up, looks at the car, gives me his card, and says "You don't want to sell your car, do you?"
He has a 92 Ebony as well, but in rough shape, and wants another Ebony. I told him to check out the site, but he lurks here already.
As we were chatting, my son saw 3 SVX's drive by on the road below us...
darn, I rarely see any others, but he sees a lot. So far, a blue, a pearl, 2 teals, a claret and 2 ebonies.
Also, check these 2 out:

Talking about SVX invasion

I was told that there one exists 1 SVX in Qatar and it was imported from the US. I am keeping my eyes wide open over here... hope to see it one day (and follow it and try to buy it from the owner)...

I have been to Qatar, never saw an SVX there. But I did see one in Kuwait City... I about wrecked the Mitsubishi Pajero I was driving when I saw it...

I've seen 2 Ebony's (one owned by a mechanic at the local Subaru dealership), a Teal (regular), a Laguna Blue I almost hit with my Legacy (blind spot driver), a pearl with transmission problems, and a Brilliant Red for sale a few weeks.

And of course my own Polo. I live in the NE and I rarely see SVX's.

The last time I saw the Teal, the driver gave me a second glance (I think it was the first time she had seen another SVX).

Happened to me about 5 weeks ago in my own neighborhood. Older guy waved me down as I was driving by. Talked about his SVX that he got rid of due to transmission problems and that he wanted another.

I was a very, very good shot and have done my share of hunting. This incident reported in the media, made my blood boil, stomach squirm, heart bleed, guts ache and trigger finger itch.

Sport, bloody sport what a bastard "sportsman".

The poor damned dear was farmed, tame and must have stood there for the bloody great hero to shoot. He is the absolute BSA. Read my signature.

Very sincerely, Trevor.

@ Chris: There exists only one SVX in Qatar and it was imported from the US.
I have been told about it at the subaru dealership over here. The fact was also assured by a Qatari friend of mine.

@Trevor: Qatar is the land of the doomed . It is illegal to import Pork, Weapons or even...... fireworks!
Maybe that guy wanted to "indulge" himself by shooting something for the first time in his life... but either way.... he is an Ahole!!

Shooting birds is OK for a sport, but shooting deers? or tamed deers? THAT's inhuman in my book too

Hmmm... for porschekiller and the others. If you really want to debate the status and mentality of the muslim world, let's just open up this subject in the political thread and we can discuss it as openly as possible.

I acquired a great deal of knowledge while living in a country opposite to mine. So please go to the political section, create a thread and I will be there

Let's just not highjack threads
