Replying to: rsholland (Jul 19, 2005 8:52 am) Serge: Petter wasn't signing glossies but SWRT posters. I have one for you, rolled and rubber-banded; all I need is a mailing tube and a mailing address. I'll get that from you offline. A pretty good sized crowd at Miller, over 250 based on the number of tickets issued, and I'd guess over 300 given late arrivals. (Explanation of tickets: In order to control the volume of people passing through the relatively small showroom Miller required people to sign in and get a numbered ticket. They then called ticket by number (0-25, 26-50 etc.) to come into the showroom, meet Petter and get his autograph. The rest of the crowd had to stay outside in the sweltering heat. Fortunately Miller had refreshments; some light eats but more importantly lots of cold soft drinks and bottled water. Petter gladly signed my son's Cozy Coupe and the copy of Drive featuring my letter and the pic of the car. Many of the people from SoA corporate recognized the car from Drive; IIRC Patti mentioned at one time that it was the subject of some discussion within Marketing. Surprisingly a lot of people came up and took photos and videos of the Cozy Coupe, and several people asked me for more info on how I put it together. (I'm beginning to think there may be the makings of a small cottage industry here; if not doing the conversions, at least supplying people the templates I made. What do you all think?) I was also surprised to see that someone had made their own version using a newer version of the Little Tikes car. A lot of Impreza owners took parts off their cars for Solberg to sign, typically sunvisors or glovebox doors but also a few hoodscoops and at least one rear wing. The autograph line was taking on the look of a chop shop! All told it was a good event; I got to see juice and a couple of Subie fanatics I hadn't seen in a long time. Ed

That cozy coupe is even more fabulous than it was (and it always was the coolest of all toy cars) with Petter's autograph...don't ever sell it; it is something to be passed down...did you get a photo of Petter signing it? Thanks very much for the poster (better than the toilet paper I mentioned). Email me at subiefam18  earthlink.net and I will send you the address. Michael is at camp until Aug 7th, so it will be a nice surprise for him. Also let me know the postage costs. Thanks. Serge
