Veteran CEG'er
I was looking through some of contour collection and my old meet photo's the other day and it made me smile, then I said to myself, ya know it's going on 7 years that I've been part of the ne-ceg family, while I might not be has involved has some of the others and have crazy post counts I'm still part of the family and have tried to help out members when I could.
I was thinking back to the original ceg website and emailing mark or was it Mike, damn it's been so long I can remember some the names(I think he had the svt that gmeater for a plate) and trying to find other members and working up to our first meet at Grapone(sp?) ford, I think it was sometime in the fall. I remember it was kinda cold and raw but it was the first time I met Mike and Kim, Brian, some kid drove up from new jersey he had a silver svt and it had sean hyland headers which was a big deal back then, pappy and I can't remember his name he had a green svt and red hair or was that our 2nd meet damn it I'm getting old oh well it was a good time , but most important was from that point on we grew has a club and each meet got better.
I also remember when I first met our most colorful member elky :shocked: , what a trip he was, and his famous swim in the pond at mount watchusett:laugh: . I never laughed so hard in my life. I was remembering the time we did our western mass meet and and ducked into the baystate west parking garage for our own little car show to get out of the rain and then we went to my sisters resturaunt for lunch and pictures, yet another great time. I could go on and on about all the great stuff we did over the years and the members that have come and gone.
It's kinda crazy how a little car called a contour brought a group of people together that not only do we talk about car stuff but we share the good and the bad, weddings and such. I have shared with you a personal struggle and you guys have helped to lift my spirits.
I'm really glad to have gotten to know you guys over the years and I look forward to many years to come. Mike, Kim and Baco it has been even more special being part of the original group and that is something that really means alot to me... even though Mike, Kim and I are the only ones that still have our original cars, ouch Brian :laugh: .
I'll post a reminder but this fall lets remember to lift up a beer and toast our first meet to remember that day!
