NCReatta Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Just had an idea from the general Buick forum...They've got a thread with the same title as this one, where you introduce yourself, give a synopsis about your car, etc.Thought I might try something similar here since we've got so many new people popping up lately.Perhaps Rawja could make this a sticky thread? Just introduce yourself, tell us about your car(s), about yourself, if you have parts or something of similar nature, you get the gist.Don't know if this is a "good idea" or not, or if it'll even go anywhere, but just thought it might be nice for new members to "get to know" everyone! Lets try to stay on subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Yaros Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I'll contribute. The name is Dave. Live in SE WI. I do NOT have a Reatta. I have what I consider to be a GM stablemate, an Allante. That is why I follow the message traffic here.I also have a '55 Cad Coupe de Ville and a '62 Olds Dynamic 88 convertible. Some of my cars have their own web sites. See the info in my sig.Lastly, I edit/publish a monthly, online, no advertising, free newsletter which focuses on the car collecting hobby; Car Collector Chronicles.As a companion to the newsletter I have started an online forum, Car Collector Chronicles -THE FORUM; found at CAR COLLECTOR CHRONICLES FORUM. All are cordially invited to come on by and start/join in a discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booreatta Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Marck I will jump in My name is Chuck Kerls from Wichita Kansas and have owned lots of cars. My current cars are a 1990 Buick Reatta Convertible, a 1984 Buick Riviera Convertible, a 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible, and a 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT. I try to be active in the BCA, the Reatta Division, the AACA and the Mulvane Marauders Car club. Cars are always a good time.My wife Kathy and I try to make as many cars show as we possibly can and try to make the Buick National meets where distance and time allow. I would encourage everybody join a car club and keep cruising, it beats staying at home doing nothing. Hope to see everyone in Danvers this summerChuck KerlsWichita Kansas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thriller Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Mike...these cars are 30-40 years too new for you...time to go back.I'm Derek...have far too many Buicks and for those of you who were around a couple months ago, I made a local deal on an '88 coupe (white with blue interior) and took delivery in January. Since we get a genuine winter here, the car is tucked away. I took a photo of the car, put the caption "Have a Reatta Good Christmas" on it and presented the photo to She Who Must Be Obeyed at Christmas...after I get the transmission fixed up, the car cleaned up, and passed the Manitoba vehicle inspection, I have a feeling I'll be turning over the keys to SWMBO...in which case, I may need to procure another car...or behave and drive some of the other old Buicks I have at hand.

Guest Reatta1 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Haven't been on the forum in some time so guess I'll re introduce myself. I'm Jim Stagl, aka Reatta1, live in central Oregon and own a 88 early (suede bolsters) black Reatta nicknamed 'Black Beauty'. Other Buicks I own are a 66 LeSabre convertible, 93 Regal custom coupe and a 01 Park Avenue. Last meet I went to was the National in Colorado Springs where the Reatta garnered a silver award. The convertible is a work in prrocess and sometime in the not too distant future I hope to take it to a meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
