The Birth of the first 5 Speed SVX in NC, Anyone wanna help???

This is just a copy of the thread that I put in MOD MAINA section..... Just trying to get the word out....

My 5 speed will be at my mechanics place by tuesday.... I will be getting to Greensboro, NC around 9:00pm to 10:00pm on friday(6th) night... From there I will imeadiatly jump in my SVX and drive to Asheville, NC... That's where my mechanic is and where the tranny will be... Saturday the 7th is the big install day!!! It will be taking place near Asheville, NC...... If there is anyone that wants to come help give birth to North Carolina's first 5 speed SVX I would appreciate it greatly!!!! We are trying to make it a Saturday ordeal only.... I can't pay anyone for coming but I can provide beer and chips and Pizzia for all that come to lend a hand.... I would rerally appreciate it... Please get up with me if you need directions there.....


My e-mail address is Lindleycj@beaufort.usmc.mil
My cell phone is (336)587-3719..... Ya will only be able to get ahold of me after 9:00pm though.... I don't have many daytime minutes... But if you leave a message I'll get back with ya after 9pm... Thanks to all!!!!!

DUDE, I finished High School in Asheville NC, and in fact thats where my SVX originates from, after all my mother bought it new there before she sold it to me. I lived there for about 8 years.

I want the name of your mechanic! in a few future trips I could have mine done there.

My family, including my daughter, live in Tryon now.

Damn, you get around. I thought you were going to Aus.? It would be cool to come down and hang and acctually see your SVX, but not quite the day trip for me. Anyway good luck with the swap and I'll be looking forward to a rematch at Reading.

Ya know IF blue94svxlsi were to beable to walk away from showing up I'm sure would take him a while to get on his feet.... Unless he's one hell of a runner!!!! Thanks anyway Huck... I would probably want to have you there more than anyone...... Thanks for all the replys but it looks like I'm gonna be hitting it alone... That's cool though... Gives me a chance to learn my car!!!
