The first annual C7 Summer Kick-Off BBQ was a smashing success. The final count on cars & people attending will be available shortly!! (possibly 25-30 Celica's plus other rides too!!!!) A great HUGE thank you to all participants of this inaugural meet to kick off the C7 Summer Event Calendar. As many of the EMT have said before, this is just the beginning 8).
For those that were unable to attend please be sure to check out the pic's taken. There must have been at least 10 digi-cams clicking away...and that's not including the massive public attention & buzz our cars were creating. We managed to park most of the cars in one section of the lot, but it was a busy busy scene. Constant movement of our cars to get closer and closer. In addition to the pics C7 is proud to display the work of a valued member Syn (Andrew) shortly. 8) Many of you may have noticed Andrew's presence with a large techno-gadget video-type camera thingy. With careful & methodical effort he has documented the day's events on state-of-the-art moving picture digital media. We are currently examining the possibilities of moving this media onto DVD, for club distribution, and promotion. Information will be made availalbe when we have finalized arrangements for release of this material :thumbup:
The event was truly an experience to remember. Picture a parking lot full of celica's. Modified, and gleaming in bright hot sunlight. Now picture a parking lot RAM PACKED of the public walking around the cars and looking inside & around..asking owners questions...general public looking for parking that were getting out of there cars, blocking traffic, just to get a closer look!!!!! :shock: The attention C7 received today was tantamount to hosting a car show for celica's only.
Many of you may not have been aware, but C7 was honoured to host a visit from Technical Assistance Expert Mr. Gary Emond, of Toyota Canada corporate. He graciously accepted C7's invitation to attend the BBQ and took the opportunity to bring his son. Many members had the opportunity to discuss technical aspects of their cars, modifications, and he commented on the true club sprit and enthusiasm that was present that day. Many thanks to all for providing a warm reception to our guest !! C7 will be working to bring you more special guests as the C7 Summer unfolds :thumbup:
After eating, cleaning up, and assembling in a line of the remaining celica's ready to exit the park the slow crawl out of the congested lot garnered us all celebrity status. Kids screaming, girls on roller blades oogling..guys' in other cars nodding in respect to da club :D ... it was an unforgettable day, and most of all attended by a great bunch of people. In keeping with the spirit of C7, the event was as much about the great people that make up our club, as it was about the great cars we all drive.
Congratulations to you all...this event kicks off a summer of fun & excitement, and we will be planning for more great successful meets in the future, and no doubt will see more growth in the club, more people-meeting-people...and more cars being modded...oh...did someone mention they wanted rims :devil:
