Uncle Bob Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Well time does fly. I've been a member of the Celica-Club 10 years to the day. I originally joined the club by chance, there was a Japanese car meet at Boloney in east Sussex, I turned up with my 1998 Gen 6 SR and noticed a few modded Celica, this turned out to be Simon and Stephen the clubs founders,I also met young Njay. Before I new it I was a signed up member. The club was small and very friendly at the time and due to my knowledge of all matters Celica I was invited to become the Gen 6 moderator and also the Gen 1-4 moderator. I spent a fair bit of time doing the fact & figures for the gen 6 and Gen1-4 section and they are still used today in an updated format. I was there for the clubs first JAE in 2002 with Simon and a few others, great time great weather. I've been a keen Celica enthusiast since 1993 and have owned most of the early Celica models plus a few Gen4's and a Gen 6. I still feel the club is a friendly place but at a much faster pace, yes you get the odd cock on here but I'm sure you get that with all clubs. Although I have a Lexus IS300 these days ( need an auto ) my roots are still very much Celica orientated and I hope to be a member for many years to come. May I wish the club well and its members for the future Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nthnmunky Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 That's a proper milestone achievement. You sure it's not actually a lot longer though, you say 'young' Njay was there lol... Bolney was coincidentally my first ever meet but not until 2004. 10 years has seen a lot of change but you're right it's still friendly at heart and I hope we'll be celebrating many anniversaries to come!
