The very first member I met was either Laddie Roussel or Ed Monahan. Laddie had helped me and several others with getting Hot Bras by Kal and he seemed more excited over seeing my bra than I was. Ed was very cordial and witty as I though he would be.

Met several great people at that event. Marty Usher answered many of my mod questions as did CNote and Real Rod Bob. I remember late night cold ones with Ron, George Maxey & son, Cnote & Gary C.

Bob and CJ were very cordial as well.

Thanks to Chuck (CTProwler) I wouldn't have known about the annual Exotic Car Show up at the Anheuser Busch Brewery in Merrimack, NH. I'll have to say Chuck was the first POA member that I had the opportunity to meet in June of 2004.

Since that time I have met many more members with nothing but GREAT things to say about all!!!

Once again...all made possible by this fantastic site. In my opinion...this site is the icing on the cake to owning a Prowler.
Thanks again to Mr. Krehel and all the GREAT members of this site.

Before POA was PPC......I was at a car show in Evansville, Indiana with the Prowler.......A guy came over as we were trying to clean the car up and started talking to Sue.

The Yellow Prowlers had not been out long, I believe it was Oct. of 98, this guy was telling Sue he had a yellow Prowler also. Once I stop and start to talk to him he said he had his 64 Studebaker there at this show. I was thinking yeah right this guy has a Prowler too........WELL DAVE RIDGE DOES HAVE A YELLOW PROWLER TOO.

We stay in contact with Dave and Nancy Ridge throughout the year.

I have met so many NICE people because of the Prowler

However, the first prowler owner I met and cruised with was Larry Lord. I drove from N CA to Southern CA, to meet this guy at his office/warehouse in order to go on the Hot Rod Power Tour. This was back in May, '99.....we met up with Al Becker along the way and the rest is history. Our crazy stunt was that the 3 of us were filmed driving across I40, 3 across (2 yellows & my purple), by a crazy Goetz film crew in a white van....the guy was hanging out the back of the van with the doors open......I thought it was nuts!!!! *sigh*

The 3 of us had a blast - the 3 amigos who didn't know each other on Thursday were fast friends by Friday. And still are to this day.

note - I met Phil & Jane Horvath in the week or two around this time as well up in Napa, CA. At least, I think it was around that time.

I met "The Road Warrior" Marc at a Johnny's Dinner show and shine in June of 2002. I think he had just got his hardtop done and was enjoying it. There were about 450 cars there and his was the only "Kat" there. He had a pretty good crowd around it with the carbs sticking out of the hood. Since then we have been on many runs together along with Chromer and many other good friends.

Hey Phil, I remember that evening. What a great show. I think that was one of the last that Johnny's was able to do thanx to the the merchants in the center complaining.
For me the first member (PPC) at that time was Chromer in January of 2000. We made a run up 285 over Kenosha pass to Jefferson. I'll leave the details to Chromer but I will say that's the first time I heard of a rev limiter and saw a Prowler half spin out at 50mph on some serious twisties.
