Fellow Imperialists:
There shall be no answers to any inquiries
in this post, only the relation of a planned Imperialistic encounter with a
fellow member as created by the camaraderie which is, to me, just as much a part
of this list as the information which we all share.
I was not an "Imperial" guy when I
purchased my '56 'Turq', but only
came to know the cars, then
respect the cars, then marvel at
the engineering, and then lust for
aesthetic marvels they are, as direct
result of my membership in this community. I had never before
this considered 'chat rooms', as I saw these on-line
groups to be, nothing more
than the lazy youthful exchanges of another generation, however
this repartee and minutiae of detail
shared upon every inquiry at this
site was mesmerizing. And after a
few months came the evolution of paying attention to the
particular guru's we each have for our year Imperials, and then
those who are just plain informative upon every
post.
These member's who know their year's so
well and share that knowledge openly are so
greatly appreciated!!! And in the 'off-grid'
exchanges which occur between our fellow year member's --and member's of the
like, really-- we are privileged to have
virtual conversation and inevitably share more than the pleasantries of our cars
and develop friendships along the way. Some of the member's are
physically close enough, or have been around long
enough, to have seen each other 'around the
circuit' as it were, and are/have
become quite friendly over time.
Although I am aware there are member's here in New England, I have yet to have
the honor of a meet for a myriad of reasons: mostly due
to my own time constraints.
That all changed when
a fellow '56'er from the Heartland of America who has relatives
in Boston and I made arrangements in the last week to meet
today for a spell prior to his imminent departure back home
and around my family obligations. I
thusly had the absolute pleasure of meeting Gary Kitterman today along
with his divine wife as they came to my home north of Boston and we shared
Imperial cares as only Imperialists can!!! I refer to him
now as my first 'cosmic friend' as without the Internet and the OIC
we surely would never have crossed paths, and also because I
had never 'done anything like that
before'...LOL... Our families enjoyed the brief respite
and agreed of course to do it again when they are
in town and hopefully when the
weather here is more accommodating so we can tour this
coastline of the North Shore.
Down the road I am quite
looking forward to that dream ride about the country with wife
in Turq as we enjoy this great and
glorious land of ours in the wonderful Salute to America that our Imperials
are, and in that Great
Spin won't I look forward to sharing time with other
member's of this club who will have me!
For knowing Mr. Kitterman
is the type of individual this list is made up of, I
will assure one and all, now and even back to
the marketer's of days-gone-by, that they
hit the nail on the head when aiming for the driver's of these
powerful, luxurious and most, shiny delights,
as indicated by today's member's as
driver's: considerate and refined we all are
indeed!
Thank you all for your considerable time,
volunteer's and poster's alike. And if any Imperialist is looking for a
'Rest Area' north of Boston, please look me
up.
Respectfully To All,
