Hey perplhze, Welcome to West Valley Cruisers, and thank you so much for swinging by, and saying hi! Holy high odometer readings Batman, that is some serious miles, and smiles in that way cool PT! Congrats on a feet few of us have ever seen! I am willing to bet we have an all time record holder for most miles on a PT, and it is going to be a good challenge to beat it at that! And for your Trophy:  Take it easy, and I hope to see you around! Candyman |

Hey Candyman,
Thanks for the trophy!!!
I don't think I will have much competition for this one. Most people want to keep the miles off. I don't think anyone intentionally pursues highest mileage.
But definitely been fun getting here ;D enjoyed every mile!

Hey CM!! Well, after being in this thing from the start, I watched 90% of these people come into the wonderful world of Cruiser-dom, and have loved every minute of it! I haven't MET Walter yet, but we've talked back and forth for a long time. I'm hoping he'll be able to be at the event in Seabright, NJ when I'm there in September. I'm not the cool one, ALL the PT Cruisers are the cool ones....that's why I love 'em so much.  Onnnnne of these days, I'll be able to say I've met you too. I'm off for 4 days, see ya' all when we get back from the mountains. |

I think Lanette knows everybody!!!!! ;D
The PT has enabled so many people to "meet" from all over that otherwise never would have.
Like Lanette said; she and I have "talked" for some time but never met.
I "knew" some of the West Coast folks from the forums and finally got to meet them last year. It was really good to finally meet the people in person that you felt you already knew from the PT forums.
Thanks for the welcome!
Sorry Lanette but I will not be at Shore Thing. I am going to Wildwood. Will you be going there too? I think Wendy is.

Hey Everyone,
I just think it is so cool to have had the pleasure of meeting so many great people that I would have never had the pleasure of meeting if not for the PT! I had been talking to many of the West Coast croud for a few years, but never had the chance to meet till the River Run 2006. I remember I was so aw struck at all the way cool people, and custom PT's that I had been drooling over for so long! It was only the second time I had ever showed my ride, and the first big all PT Event that I had ever been to as well, so I had such a blast!
I remember that the guys had asked me if I could bring my Buffers out with me, and I was just having a fun doing some high speed buffing on a few rides, and even de-badging Bruces PT so it could go in to be pinstriped!
I can't wait to finally meet up with Lanette, and everyone one of these days! You could'nt ask for better people to hang with, and I feel privalaged to be a part of it all! And Lanette, you are always gonna be way cool in my book for sure!
Take it easy!
Candyman

Hey guys...we're back from the mountains, and I'm glad to NOT have a paint brush in one hand!! We went to do some much needed TLC on the ol' 1955 RollAHome 40' trailer, and put a new version of tan color on it. Walter....that's a real bummer, I wish you could do both....but if anyone knows how THAT is, I do. I can't stay long enuff to do Wild thang. Wendy will be there to meet all you guys, and she's nothing short of estatic. It's a wonderful 6 week trek for her, Andrew and their daughter BJ. So you'll enjoy meeting them, they're great. Her hubby Andrew is a lot of fun, and he supports her 100% on her PT thing....and he loves beer!! So altho I don't get to meet you in person, it's good knowing I will always get to see you here and places like PTA. Take care and have a good one!! Pt friendship are awesome, and I'm still so thankful for the ones I've been blessed with....may the coming years be just as fun. |

Hi Andy, It's a 2001. I ordered it April 2000 but did not take delivery until February 2001. Way back then when you wait forever. You will have to do a lot of driving and I will need to park for a reeeaaaal long time for you to catch up. I probably had 36,000 in less than 2 yrs. I wish mine was still as low as yours!!!!! At least you know you've got a long road ahead of you!!! Enjoy the ride!!!! Walt |
