New guy and broncoless

Post by BNC04 »

Hi all,

Brett here and I hail from Longmont. I've been without a bronco for the last 9 years and regret it every day. I'm 47 and have owned an several EB's beginning when I was 18. I've built up some of them, learned on them all and have passed the passion on to my son who is building/tweaking a 66 in Arizona. I was a member of the Bronco registry of Colorado back in the day,,, Anybody remember Coby and the black cloud? The big Divorce 9 years ago made it mandatory that I sell the last bronco I had which really hurt. I'm getting back on my feet, remarried to a wife that loves bronco's as much as I do and now just need to get some time, space and money to get re-acquainted with another EB. I will have one within the year!!!!

Anyway, though I am without an EB, I have continued to follow the various EB related forums and manufactures websites since then as well as looking weekly in craigslist, Sadistic I know...


I look forward to living vicariously through you all until I can get back behind the wheel of an EB !

Thanks
Brett

Hi There! Really happy you found the Club. This is a great resource for your Bronco search. I follow the action in Utah and have seen a couple that should have went to guys in our club. You can also ask a local club member to check out possible trucks to save you some time and frustration. That is great you found a wife who appreciates Broncos - now we just need to find you a Bronco.

A Big Warm Welcome To The Group!

Welcome welcome! I believe Coby is on this forum. He's the photographer dude right? Or maybe that is another one.

Thanks for the welcome's guys,, though I'd love to, I just can't swing a Bronco just yet. I need to clear up some room and organize some finances before I pull the trigger again. I will have one before the year is out though. I'm getting close:)

I am one of those guys that gets very involved in his hobbies so I want to be prepped and ready so when I do get the one that is out there with my name on it, I'll be ready to dive in with both feet.

Being the sadistic guy that I am, in March, I'll be heading to the Arizona Bronco Stampede with my son. That could prove to be interesting to say the least. LOL

Have you been to a large Bronco Stampede before or is this your first one? We are trying to plan ours here in Colorado and would love some insights.

This will be my first one actually. I'd be happy to look at it from that perspective and take some notes about things I notice as good and bad if you like, I'll do it before the beers flow too freely... lol beer

This one has been going from year to year for quite a while I think so they should have some good things to pass along. They do have quite a few vendors and raffles from what I hear.

They also have a website just for the event.

Welcome...

Bronco will come soon :). Gregg is down in Longmont and there are few of us a little farther north that I'm sure will help out with anything. With that being said...when the trail rides come, I bet we can find some empty seats :)!

Can't wait to see pics from the Stampede.

Welcome! Glad you found us! I hope the pieces fall into place for you quickly so you can get a bronco again and start wrenching!

Hey Broncoless. I'm in Longmont too and man its good to have another bronco guy here. I just got mine but its still in Denver at some airplane fixer upper guys (--ha ha-- just jokes 777mech) house. We ("we" as in "Shawn hand me that wrench" we) are fixing her up so I and the young family can cruise around. We otta meet for some beer and shoot it. There are some firestone/erie guys too. Anyhow, drop me a line sometime.
