Ryan won't be using his for a while. When we go get it, just take them off and use them. Ryan will probably mount a gun rack back there anyway and won't need some doors.

hello everyone, My name is Ryan Poisso, I'm a good friend of Marty Cannon. He talked me into signing up on this website. I am in the process of trying to find an old Cruiser to fix up, and will need help when the time comes. I live in West Monroe, but work in Lafayette often. Would like to meet some of you when I come in town to talk about Cruisers.
, I hope to meet you soon. We have a great group of guys I'm sure Marty filled you in. Between the website and the clubhouse you'll find plenty stuff to tickle your new addiction. You'll fit right in and props to you for taking on that kind of (St Gabriel) project.
Not so fast Marty, I'm not that Redneck.
welcome to the club
The real good news of the day was hearing from Rick in New Orleans. I sent him a long email with the ways to get in touch with us. I'll give him a call tomorrow to introduce myself. Here is his email I received this afternoon. If you see this Rick welcome to you and your group. I hope to chat with you more and look forward to meeting up with you soon. I'd even arrange a group trip to NO to visit Ricardo Febry and your group.

Hi Larry, my name is Rick Dietz and I live in New Orleans. We had a small club that was just starting to take off right before Katrina. I would love to make it to the meeting but my FJ40 is not an interstate driver. Please add me to your list. I will spread the word about the BSLCA down here and hopefully we can get some more members. I have never heard of this club. How long has it been around? Atttached is a pic from the last meeting we had here.

Thanks everyone for the nice welcome. I recognize some of the names on here, probably people I've pestered over the years to try to get a club going down here in New Orleans. At one time we had about 12 interested "members" and we had about 4 or 5 meetings. The white Cruiser on the left of the above picture was drowned in the Broadmoor area of N.O. during Katrina but the owner, John is planning on rebuilding it. I will do my best to scrounge up some of our old members to see if anyone is interested. Unfortunately, quite a few people moved away after the storm and I lost touch. I hope to make it to some of the meetings but I'll probably take my Tacoma instead of the 40. If anyone is in the area give me a shout. Hi Armond and Ricardo, nice to hear from y'all again. By the way, are there any dues to join? If so, who do I send them to? Thanks again for the welcome.
