Talking Got me a second SVX

Have had my Blue 94 lsi for a year and a half now and will now be adding a silver 92 lsl and will promptly install a manual and a stage 2. Should be fun. Tranny is blown currently so it is the perfect time. I cant wait, I havent had a manual ever...I cant even remember the last time I drove one.

Awesome!

I have one parts car, one driving one and this weekend I will be purchasing another svx. It's hard to just have one. I would love to have a fleet of svx's as well. Maybe one day!

I don't know. I was just speaking to Earl about his fleet and he noted how troublesome it was to wash of them and line them up for the "herd pictures."

Oh... to have such a problem... (giggles)

Congratulations. I've found the greatest dilemma that comes from having two is deciding which one to drive on any given day.

Well, I have two, but I don't have this problem.

The black UK model I have here at home is currently waiting to have a gearbox installed. So I look longingly at it, and sit in it every so often, but no driving, except to run it and clean the brakes.

The other JDM 94 silver one I have, it is driving OK, but it's in England. It is waiting an engine transplant. I hope to have this work done before the Show in July.

Better get Black Betty sorted!

Joe

Well, I would love to have a laguna blue and a pre-owned but almost new condition pearlie in my selection of svx's. The polo green will be quite an asset to have as its almost new condition. To have three to drive on and off and the 92 lsl for parts. I believe I would stop there. It would be hard to find space for all of Earl's cars. I would like to meet Earl one day and see his collection.

Greg, I have driven up to Chicago to pick up my second svx and now I will return this Sat. for my third svx. It would be less then a 6 hr. drive for you if your having Budfreak do it for ya. Gosh, how many SVX's are in Chicago? How often do you see svx's?
