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.

Welcome bud :flipoff2: , 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. :cheers:

Not so fast Marty, I'm not that Redneck. I do have a little pride in my vehicle. Besides if you mount the gun rack back there, how are you going to get to your gun in a hurry when you need it. I prefer mounting it in-between the two front seets where it is easily accessible.
 
Welcome new member Ricardo Febry to the club. He's peeked in and said hello and now he's official we have his dues. Welcome to the club Ricardo I look forward to meeting you and seeing your project's progress soon. :cheers:

Welcome Ricardo!!!! I think it's great that you have joined our ranks. Some of the guys in our club have a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience with these rigs. Best of all they are willing to share that. Often times, it's not just by communicating that but also by giving a helping hand. When I sold you the cruiser, I didn't know that BSLCA was being conceptualized. This reallly is a great group. I know you will enjoy being a part of it as much as I have.
 
Potential new member nitroid13 from Walker, LA. He didn't mention his name but I hope he'll join in and say hello. :bounce:

Welcome friend. :)

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.

That's awesome! Welcome Rick and company! Say, if you guys ever want to come down for a meeting, I'd be happy to escort you in my rig from the 310 and 90 junction. Nice easy ride IMHO.

Hey Rick, Armond Schwing here. We talked last year when I had my FJ40 for sale. You sent me that same picture. It's good to hear from you. These guys are a binch of great cruiser folks. You and your crew should really try to get together with us sometime. I think you would enjoy being a part of this. Heck, I'm willing to road trip a meeting or two and park a buch of our rigs up on the top of the river levee for a get together. I hope to see you soon.
 
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.

Thanks for the info, Scott. I just paypaled my dues and silverstar. I have been a member of TLCA since 1998 so that is already taken care of. My number is 7115 if y'all need that for your list. Larry, please let me know if you need any more info on me or my cruiser. I'm glad to be here. I'll post more pics from some of our meetings when I get a chance.

Rick
