Going to go see the Professor in NY. He's this great old fellow who's taught all around the world. One of those interesting people who for me,is hard to resist going to see. He wants to "have a cup of coffee with me" and talk about his old Subaru.From our phone conversation I believe he's down to one,when he had four EA81 vehicles back when I saw him last in 2001.He tells me he's moving to Europe so ....... One of his cars has over 1.7 million miles on it. His wife came out and verified it. This car has been refurbished on a rotisserie but apparently is rotting again in some places.I'll give you all the update,with pictures,after I go see him today...hopefully. I really don't have time,but this is one of those things I just can't resist. Just to sit and talk about the world with this guy is going to be a pleasure. He's a very special person with much insight. The car as I knew it back then,is only on its second engine!! He also has,or had,a hatchback that had over 450k on it with ALL original components he says. The Brat he had is gone as well as another EA81 parts car he had.It was either a wagon or Hatch,can't remember. He also has a couple of off the wall mini vehicles inside,and had a late 70's or VERY early 80's Toyota truck that was also in exceptional condition,which is near impossible to find around here.Even the 90's Toyotas are rotted out already. See you all later with an update. Meanwhile,let me know what you think about owning and caring for a 1.7 million mile car. I'm going to try to get him to allow me to use his story with SOA for their Dive,I mean Drive magazine.Maybe I should see if SOA wants the car? Cheers!

just one or two....THANKS!!

In the words of the great Dee Dee Ramone .....WHAT ABOUT ME?????!!!!!! Nah,he just got a new number.It's area code 603 from Cow Hampshire. Gotta sleep,more info later.

Huh?? Hater? nah..... Maybe next year,we'll see. I'll have to up the insurance policy so I can shred the Gorge for once in my life. I am soooooo not ready for it. But I'd have to do it.

Just don't put my wheels on it from Mudrat. Have fun with it!

Treat him about half as nice as you'd treat me. Hey Rob,good idea...not sure why he didn't jump in here and post already...but then again the kid's been all over the stinkin country and then some meeting tons of you folks.He's my warm up act.:-p Andrew is really busy lately,and avoids the USMB as he is getting more wise by the day.:cool: So if he doesn't chime in,look out for him and meanwhile I'm sending him all the numbers I do have for you guys.....Eric,Ken,Mudrat-yes Mudrat,Russell,....hmmmm...whoever else I have around here.And Mick too.Midwest coverage. We were talking about routes to and from.I think he's decided on lower runs through Utah and then up....but I-90 on the way back! Lucky @$%. details to follow...I'll try to get him to post.

Andrew,a.k.a. "wagonsonly" should be there.He's driving out there in a non-Subaru,but be good to him.

You got a reeeeeeuhl purty mayouth there boy........ Hey,when you rednecks are done,let us basic white trash know when you want us to show up.

Doing ok here,just tired often.Not enough sleep,broken sleep,sleep envy....everything but sleep as it should be,most of the time. Almost done with the move nobody helped me with. Glad you're doing better and hope we see each other in PB soon !! Kick it around a little,let some others chime in,then we'll set a date.

One,I need to hit the NH region sort of soon.Anyone up that way that wants to meet up let me know. Two,"NEED" to hit the Pine Barrens and "NEED" to hit the junkyards of eastern PA,with the likes of Harry's in Hazelton,the Rt. 61 places,and maybe Allentown on the way out or way back. Pine Barrens in south Jersey is moderate sandy trails with occassional nasty stuff.If you don't have 4WD most likely you can still go through or park at the entrance and go in with someone else. "NEED" means needed for the spirit of doing it,nothing else. Anyone else interested? Neo,you feeling better yet?

Hey everybody,just wanted to start a fire over here. We over in the historic forum have already successfully had one group buy for windshield gaskets and are currently distributing our second order as a group. Now we have a weatherstripping/door seal order builing and it got me thinking of you guys over here.We had several Gen II Brat and EA81 car inquiries but we were unable to help them.Those gaskets and seals are still avalible from PRP,who we have an established relationship with. If you folks can get yourselves together you'd likely save a solid $30+++ per windshield gasket each if you put in an order of 25 or more. Another reason for getting you folks involved is an ongoing discount.Your cars and Brats are going to need everything ours are now,or soon will be.If you folks intoduce more orders to PRP it'll only help us all around. If anyone has other suppliers to consider please let us all know. Something to consider if you assume your aging Subaru to be a collectible Classic.

Now you're talkin',baby!!! I will gladly cover whatever we determine we need per Stage II wagon TIMES TWO.So if you need say 75 ft. per wagon then I want 150 ft.,at least.There's another Stage II project in the coming years.:cool: And,if we get Stage I again,I'll cover 2 times a fourdoor.That should cover the fourdoor and the coupe.No other stage I on the horizon,but I think one day I'm going to get a Stage I 4WD wagon again. Paypal all loaded up right now.Or a check or M/O...let me know. We doing a group buy and someone distributing or each order drop shipped from the supplier or what?

You guys are doing more to scare people away than attract them.

Stage I: Thanks,Frank!

thanks,I'll really try,but it's kind of unliely right now. Just too busy no matter which way I turn lately.Otherwise I'll make some trip up there for some reason....maybe camp a night with my son or the family...make the rounds.I also have to get to that guy Skip's place in NH.

:-\ Sorry to see that.Good luck with it.Hope you're OK

Hmmmmm....maybe that's why she calls me Paulyburger

We need a Stage I (72-77) and stage II (77-79 and to 81 for Brat). Let's get serious about a bulk purchase of each because without question EVERY Stage I car will need them regardless of where you live or the conditions.And soon,every Stage II vehicle will need them too. We've kicked this around in the last couple of years and now it's time to just DO IT. So,whoever checks any stock,please check on each style. We hope to have a cross section of each.I'll try to remember my camera since I have both styles. The PRP catalog lists many styles as well.Maybe they have a match for us.If so,we are already established with them as a group.

A little short notice,but maybe next year for me.Too much happening already.Sounds like a great event that I'd love to attend.

It's about time!!! Nice Jay shot!!

It's about time!!! Nice Jay shot!!

It's about time!!! Nice Jay shot!!

Moderators can remove this post,please. Almost all done!

Right on,Rob! Good luck,Connie. No more excuses!!! Get that freakin car done! Let me know if you need any help.Thanks for bringing the Y-pipe down! We'll catch up on the hood(s?) and all when I make it up for the cookout.

Antique Subarus? Is Subaru of New England involved?
