The CMP "annual"- huzzah!

[Garry Shipton (RIP)]

You know guys,I read threads from everywhere,especially down in OZ about CMP's,but being from Montreal,I've never had the opportunity of touching one,cause they're rare here in the East.especially Quebec.Oh yes,I've seen a few before I got into this stuff,but for the life of me,I can't remember where I saw them,painted different colors,out in the farmland.But now I know.I seach for their ugly little snub nosed fronts every time I'm in farm country.The first time I saw one live was at the Dieppe Ceremony two years ago when the Belgians were here.I had the opportunity to meet Marc,sweat all over his C60GS that looks like it just came out of a Chevy dealers' showroom, which I now call "The Green Beast",smell her canvas,oil,bruteness,listening to her idle,sit in her,seeing the engine cover.My dad,every time I was in one,told me in no uncertain terms,"Do not touch the engine cover"But I had to.Now I know why!!Well,it's clubs like MLU & Convoy that today make me log on to both every day to learn more of the vehicles our dads drove
