Congratulations to Russ & Bruni Trapani, of Pleasanton, CA for being voted PTCSV Cruiser of the Month for February 2004.
"Its now just a year since I joined PTCSV and I must say..it was my best move in meeting great people and new friends. It is quite an honor to be the COTM and everyone can count on my 100% support of this great group of PTers.
The Silver Cloud was taken off the lot by my wife Bruni and me just a year ago….and picked the kids up from school that same afternoon in the new PT…and to say the least….the jaws dropped and were glad to jump in. This PT is our first brand new car in almost 20 years of marriage…and it was that “its about time” kind of thing. I think above and beyond this Pt being the perfect car…being part of this club has topped the entire ownership thing off in a very big way for us. There is nothing like sharing great times with fun folks…bottom line!.
As you all have seen…not all at the same time” but my family consist of my wife Bruni, born and raised in Houston Texas…my son Phillip, born also in Houston and my 2 California children…my daughter Ariana now almost 14 and the newest addition and blessing, Dominic now almost 5 months old. Its not too easy getting the family to the club events but my daughter went to Cruiserfest last year with me and I think this one coming will be my wife and Dominic. You have seen my son at the meeting in January and he says he will attend a Fosters with us soon.
I continue to dabble and experiment with
the interior and exterior lighting using low cost effects with LED’s
and still have a few tricks up my sleeves for mods…so stay tuned to the
Silver Cloud at night time for the latest. By the way…the cars name was
a derivative first starting from “Silver Bullet” too beerish and
ballistic…so Silver Cloud as in the old Rolls Royce and with some American
Indian thought process took its place on the boards. I also continue to stay
in touch with PT clubs in both Switzerland and France that have been nice
enough to post my photos and give me a page on their sites. It just goes to
show you..no matter where you are in this world…when you stop a PT owner
in the streets..like I did in Paris …and say….”Im a Pt owner
also”…you close the gap of all languages and political differences
and as we were standing there across from the La Louvre…we felt like
we just met at Fosters…8,000 miles away".
