What do ya guys think. We have 15 members in So. Cal and 6 members in No. Cal. I found this huge nationwide car club called WPC Chrysler Products Club. They are open to all Chrysler products, even K-cars! Even better, they have K-car members that go to their shows. I am not yet a member of WPC, but I might join. There is a fee of $35. They posted a link to our club! At their last annual show back east, 4 K-car owners without a K-car club showed up. They were all woody LeBaron convertibles. Guess what, this summer, their show is going to be in Sacramento in late July 2009. I thought this might be a good launching point to get some advertising for our club. I know a lot of you are up in that area and would like to have a meet sometime. I was thinking of organizing a K-car cruise up to Sacramento and try to get all the southern members involved. However, there are some challenges.
Number 1: How many of you would really be motivated to take a 700 round trip drive to Sacramento.
Number 2: How many of your cars do you feel could make it up there.
Number 3: How many of you would have the money to get up there (including myself).
Number 4: How many of you would even show up.
Thats the key. I will toy with this idea for a couple months, and then make a decision based on your feedback. Some of you are more motivated or more interested than others. Some of you are too busy. And of course, some of you have more important things to do then spend hours in front of the computer in carworld. Anyways, just a thought. I really want to organize a road trip club event where we all take a drive together, with mechanics (our members) in tow as back-ups, since some of you can work on your own cars. It would be so much fun. Car checklist before departure, cell-phone communication, scenic route along the beach, restaurant, etc. That is my dream for our next goal as a club. 330 members is not bad after 1.5 year of backbreaking work, due in no small part to Jeff Koch and Gustav of Hemmings, Ruston Calisch, Tom Chrysler, and all of you who without your interest and motivation this club could not exist. In fact, a Swede from Sweden has been writing articles about us and in turns out a few 80s LeBaron Ks exist over there. We have 2 Russian members who can't get parts. They love American cars. I hope to gain more interest in this club and get our ranks up to 1,000 members so we have a voice. However, I am just happy to know that there should always be some interest in keeping a K-car in existence. Hey, we are doing better than the 80s yahoo auto groups for Chevy Cavalier! Cavalier seems to be dying out. However, the 80s Ford Taurus and Tempo clubs have 1,000 members. Also, a young Canadian is attempting to start the first active Chevy Citations Forever club.
