    Isuzu North America Closing next week

    So the Headquarters in Cerritos, CA is closing next week. I met with the corporate communications person and they just donated the VXo2, VX 4, Axiom convertible, and Axiom prototype to the Peterson Museum in LA. He also gave me a some stuff to give to the VX group. The easiest thing is if you live in the LA area and are willing to come to my house and pick some stuff up. I have 5 framed collectors photos, 7 swiss army knives, 11 Tamiya models, 10 hats, 10 visors, 9 air gauges, 5 bags, 4 t-shirts and 5 Sales VHS tapes. PM me. Might need to charge a little for S & H. Not sure how to upload the pics. Tryin' to figure that out now.
    Call me a geek, or maybe even nerd, but face the facts, we da ones be rulin' this world!

    I'm tallying the stuff as people PM me and make their requests. To be fair to as many people as possible, I'd like to ask that we limit to no more than 3 items. If they are small items we can do 4. PM me your address too with your full name. I'll send everything out at once after the tally is done and all items are spoken for.

    This would be a great place for an LA based meet once you know for sure that the donated Isuzu's have been put on display!

    sorry for the thread-jack.......back on topic!

    Peterson Group

    I was thinking the same thing. I'm going to try to set up a private meeting for the VX club there. Also spoke with one of the designers of the o2 and he was let go last week. bummer. He's interested in a modification so he might join us.

    I got most of the requests and hopefully answered most of you. I wrote all the requests down in the order it was received. Here's what's left:

    5 hats (Isuzu)
    12 visors Isuzu (that you wear on your head...think Volleyball)
    3 tire gauges (Isuzu)
    2 bags (Isuzu)
    3 VHS Tapes (VX)
    1 T-shirt (Isuzu)
    4 models (VX - assym req'd)
    1 Fan (Isuzu)
    4 Mouse pads (Isuzu)
    1 Umbrella (Isuzu)

    email me at baldwin.chiu@gmail. The PM box gets full fast!

    I remember visting the site a few years ago on a business trip.. met with an associate of a friend of mine who worked there ... He gave me a walk through of the VX-2 that was sitting in the lobby at the time.

    I couldnt get a good view underneath the building to see if the VX-02 was still there... he was kinda tight lipped about that anyway ..
