    Probably a bit late in posting here as I just joined again but I decidd to chime in. I belong to another forum for the Jensen Healey. The same feeling was mentioned there. They only imported some 7000+ cars and that was in the 70's. The issue was everyone was so excited and was planning meets. There were times 3 meets were going on in the same area the same weekend or every weekend. Due to limited members the attendance was split and others could not go to every meet. They started setting up a couple of big meets every year based on geogrphical location. All of a sudden there were JH fans coming out of the woodwork. And while gas is expensive it is easier to justify for that one or two trips a year where you will see a bunch of cars and meet their owners. Considering these cars are 30+ years old it kind of disproves the don't want to drive it too much. I actually have more money in it than I paid for my VX new and the car only sold for about $4000 brand new.

    Reason for my absence, Parts available!

    Hey all!
    Sorry I have been gone so long. Unfortunately Because of the poor design of childrens car seats, I had to part with my VX. My daugter was born on Feb. 1st. I had to purchase a larger vehicle for my primary vehicle. I was made a trade in offer that I couldn't refuse. I ended up with a 2006 Ford F150 super crew 4x4. The deal was so good that my wife let me buy a replacement Toy, While its no VX it is definatley off road ready. I now have a 94 jeep wrangler fully set up for wheelin (air lockers, lift, dana 40, winch etc). So I still will be attending VX off road meets. Maybe down the road I'll get another one. Anyway, I have extra parts laying around the garage such as Manuals, roof mounted bike racks for VX, 18 OEM alloy rims, Roof rack mounting bracket covers, maybe more. let me know if interested, and keep i touch, I am still part of the VX family and always will be! By the way I'll be renewing my membership as soon as I find my credit card. Also, If anyone finds out where my VX ends up let me know, I traded it in in Indianapolis, IN. Also, sorry about highjacking this thread! See ya! Chris

    Bear is entitled to his opinion. I've been a member/owner for almost a year now & haven't been to any meets ... yet.

    DC/VA/MD owners - we're getting together near Luray, VA in April. We're getting together again in August near Fredericksburg, VA (Lake Anna).

    VA/NC/SC owners - I'll prolly be near Raleigh this summer to visit bro & will be boating at Satterwhite Point. I'll put it on the calendar when I get it planned.

    TN/AL/GA owners - I have family down there so if you plan something - chances are good that I'll make it. (Make it at Watauga & I'll be there for sure).

    PA/NJ/NY owners - I have family near Philly so plan something near there & chances are good that I'll make it. A meet at Gettysburg would be cool.


    Almost forgot - CSTYLES wants to go wheeling on the beach at Assatique too but that'll prolly be next year since he's organizing the Luray trip.

    Apathy ... PHHHT. It just takes someone to take the lead. Threats have an effect too - if WormGod doesn't make either Luray or F'burg then I'll start believing Bear

    Aw man, I gave up on you all a LONG time ago. So, believe Bear.

    I am probably out of any lineup this year as it is. Work is in hi-gear so I have little to no time even to get home and wash the boys. My weekends look much like my weekdays.
