2009 VX Calendar

[WormGod]

I MAY have some interesting pics for you after this weekend. I think I have been talked in to parking the WreX for the weekend and use the VX in this weekend's autoX. Yep, I said it, autoX, not rallyX. Some of the guys have been busting my balls about since last summer, so I think I finally have the balls to try it. It's 5 days away and I already have butterflies. Not afraid it's gonna roll, just afraid that tranny isn't gonna be too friendly anymore. Let alone the Nitto Grapplers. Sure wish I still had those Yoko AVS still. Especially since a couple months ago at an event in VA, some clown brought out his NEW Nitro and rolled it on the very first turn. But he was clearly used to running his S2k and had no experience with this truck yet (hell, it still had a temp tag!). Which surprises me that they will allow me to even run the VX. But these are local events sponsored by local vendors and dealerships, so it's all cool.

Anyways, we have 2 other guys that run their Subies and they are both photographers. I already told them they BETTER get some good shots cause I will probably never do it again (if I don't kill her). Hopefully at least 1 good shot comes out of it.

Still not a definite cause I could get cold feet at the last minute and just end up showing up in the WReX instead. I think I may end up with some beat downs though cause some of the guys are betting cash that I WONT do it, heh.

Ya, the tranny really scares me.... oh how I wish it were manual.

Wormy, that sounds pretty cool. Just be really careful, and if you do roll, make sure we get lots of pics.

Guess I jumped the gun by posting this. Just got an email from a buddy who works at a local Subaru dealer that sponsors many of these events and he said they said "Nope, won't allow it". The sponsors have apparently decided to put an end to top heavy and/or SUVs. Guess this stems from the guy who rolled his Nitro.

Ah well, guess I jinxed myself. I imagine I will be taking the WReX after all.

So, sorry, no pics.

I would like to put a picture in the contest. It's a cool picture of my VX coming out of Hell's Gate. For those who don't know what Hell's Gate is, check this out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouWJa6FC7-E&NR=1

Anyhow, the picture was taken back in 2006 during ZuZu. I'm trying to look at picture of ZuZu 2006 and our web site will only allow me to go back 20 pages of post.

Does anyone have pictures that were posted on ZuZu 2006?

Thanks

O.K. I think I finally found the thread, but I can't seem to find the picture. http://vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=8822
It may be on those pictures that Biju took, I'm not sure, but those pictures are not coming up. Can someone explain why Biju's pics are the only ones not coming up?
Thanks.

no worries.. we are still at only 38 submissions from maybe 8 people. The submission process will probably go on for a while longer (october at least)

Hi, ETL and other members of the Vehicross family.
I am starting the similar project (VX-2009 calendar) on the Russian VX web site and have a request for you: can I ask ETL to submit all your photos to me, so that I could put them up for vote on Russian site, and include 2-3 of them in the calendar?
On my side, I promise to do the same and upload the Russian VX pictures for you once I finish collecting (4 weeks from this Sunday).... and, believe me, we have some amazing pics here in Russia as well
OK?

Hi etlsport.

I have a question about the parameters for picture submissions...

...in particular your new "rule" #2

few rules this year

2. All photos should be appropriate to hang on the wall in an office or family room.

Given we ALL have different views on what is "appropriate "......


....is it not equally "appropriate " to submit any and all pictures ,
and ALLOW the voting/calendar buying members of the forum
to choose which pics they would like ??


Just a thought....given my views on democracy....and whats "appropriate"!


TIA
