Tom,
Good to know that you made it home in one piece. Can't believe that you drove straight through!! We'll be home probably Thursday. It was so great to meet you and everyone else and it was all over entirely too fast!! (Of course, had we gone to the plant tour we could've said goodbye) Was my car the most photographed? ~~Michelle

Home safe
By the sound of all these posts, you all seem to have had a great time. Glad all are home safe, and we are all waiting patiently for an overview or a precis of the events.
Larry, your efforts for the last while seem to have paid dividends for all concerned. As our Oz or NZ friends might put it, "Good on yer, mate" Joe PS How many cars? How many people?, what guests? etc, etc, etc

Re: Had to leave early
I think I almost saw at least 10 svx's on the way home but when I go to them they were (gasp) probes or worse, then we finally caught up to Bill - that was so nice riding home and being able to see another beautiul svx in the rear view most of the way. We made it home safely and without a visit from the highway patrol although we passed quite a few of them
. As Huck said, I didn't meet anyone I didn't enjoy talking too and I wish I had met everyone there. Does anyone know if the young couple with the alternator problems made it home alright? I can't wait until the next meet. I think this year we will have to make the trek to reading with both cars. Quote:

76 SVXes. More than 100 people (can't remember the official count). Our special guest at dinner was Mr. Nagano, President and CEO of SIA (Subaru-Isuzu Automotive). He was driving the first new Baja to come off the assembly line, last Thursday. He let everyone look it over. Our hosts at an SIA luncheon (The first time SIA has had "Customers" in for a special luncheon -- a special treat usually reserved for dealers), included Mr. Nagano and the entire SIA top management team. Mr. Nagano also had a last minute surprise. He found that two of the men who worked on the SVX (one on the body, one of the engine designers) worked at the plant in Lafayette, ad he invited them to join us. You should have seen the looks on their faces when we gave them a standing ovation! The luncheon was capped off with a "cherry picker" shot of all members in the parking lot with their cars. It'll probably be in drive magazine. Look for it. That's a small "reader's digest" version. Too much to type without cramping. I'll do a "reflections" later. I'm still just a bit "giddy."

I see a hint of blue smoke!!!
Zepplin.. sweet picture!!! Thank god I wasn't pushing her too hard went I was at the lead of the pack....After we spilt up I had about another hour and all was well.. I think the air moving around sucked some of the power steering fluid out to give that great air show effect....there sure was some gratification in boxing in a Camero and then fumigating it with a cloud thicker then a Colorado forest fire!!!( sure made me sweet regardless of the a/c)
Huck thanks for the ride in the 5-speed... she's a different breed of animal with the manual tranny slamming her through the sound barrier!!!! Randy...you should have seen that lawn care company in all of their primal splendor...A Ford 350 with Zebra stripes all the way down to the tail(pipes)!!!!

We're home too :-)
Just wanted to say that Marisa & I are back in KC just fine. We had a good group to caravan back with as far as St. Louis, MO. Thanks Jason, Tammy, Todd, Crystal, Tom, Amanda & Nick for travelling with us.
I also think we should once again give an applause to Matt for helping Amanda and Nick out with that alternator, he's the man!! It was great getting to meet all of you and I'm hoping that this wasn't a one time thing. Take care all of you and hope to hear from you soon :-) ~Ray "Halistan"

What a blast!

I just wanted to post that I had a wonderful time. I took over 100 pictures. I, like a few others, found myself taking people pictures towards the end of the meet because I got so wrapped up taking pictures of all the cars! lol I loved meeting everyone and putting real faces to screen names. Even better to hang out at like 2 in the morning just talking about the SVX or watching some members working on their cars. I was so glad to finally meet John Hoffman as he is the most amazing person! I loved his magnetic SVX logos on his car. (You think up the most unique ideas! Not to mention I love how you keep your SVX.. the most meticulous detailing ever.. it's great!) I am also very happy to say I got around 67 of the SVXers that attend to sign my shirt along with the CEO and the 2 gentlemen that actually worked on the SVX. (Picture attached - sorry not of the greatest quality.) Thanks to everyone for signing it! This was definitely worth the trip. I have never been so content in all my life.. Everything was right in the world. I am so sad it's over but I look forward to doing it again soon. I just hope I don't have to wait like 5 years. It was definitely my pleasure to meet everyone. Thank you Larry for organizing this meet. Everything was fantastic! lots of love, Marisa "cozykat" or on yahoo "kozypup" |

you guys suck!
okay.....j/k.....but why is it the westcoast gets
left out of such a cool meet..?? Im not moving anywhere near the eastcoast so either I take a 2 week vacation to make the next one, or the west coasters are going to have to do their own meet in Vegas and cruise 50+ Svx thru the strip or up in Ca up the PCH. Cant wait to see some pics and here more about the event.....!

Dayle,
In comment to your post I say the following: If Rich could make it to the meet from Ariz. in a Legacy GT, why couldn't you drive to the meet. We had many people in Lafayette who came a lot farther than Ariz. (can you say Nova Scotia). So don't tell us that we su... and don't blame us for your failings. Larry Singer (aka Larry III) |

Made it home safely
Sorry to hear about the othe PA boys being held up by Indiana's finest. Angie and I had a incident free trip home, however, it was also, SVX free from Indie on. Was expecting you guys to catch up and pass me somewhere in WV but I guess we were still a few hours ahead. Got back to Lancaster around 12:30. I just hope everyone else had as good of a time as I did!

Also, I figured out that I averaged about 71mph for the drive home. I was at or over 80 for most of the way. God, I love the higher speed limits!
