At the marvellous age of about 16...I found a new world.....the one where you could have this little black box in your bedroom and talk to everyone in AM world on a CB! Man we had some fun. The next year was even better because I could go MOBILE and drive around in my little Datsun 200B (all hotted up I might add...goodrich wide tyres, sunroof, spoilers and mags) and have "eyeballs" and meet other radio enthusiasts! I made some of the best mates I could ever imagined and most are still to this day. We had fox hunts, specific names for areas...Corny Bay....Moose Hill (Rosny Lookout) which was "Rust Bucket Warriors" spot, Bucket Boulevard (which was the domain) and Dodger Drive (my spot where putt putt adventure golf has a car park now hahahaha).....We all had "callsigns" mine was Dodger 2. Being the sexually charged teens that we were, there were plenty of romances, breakups, marriages and divorces LOL......So.....
It seems most of us have gone (over 20 years later) from CB to FB (facebook) I set up an old CB'ers facebook page and it was great to catch up with some old and funny mates...technology!!
So I thought why not organise a reunion...so I organised an EYEBALL back where it all began at Corny Bay (Corneilan Bay) , fired up the BBQ and off we went.... what a fantastic day! Was awesome chatting and reliving the memories...not many of us have changed that much (except me who is now 90kg lighter haha)....we laughed and reminisced and mate...it was a great day....
And of course there had to be an after party....we stoked up the fire pot and poured the drinks and partied until the wee hours....like we had all seen each other yesterday....(insert warm and fuzzy feeling here lol).
We will definatley do it again...maybe Christmas for the next one...Best call of the day was Dario (Shadow Raider).....This would be the first time this many CB'ers are in one spot and the cops havent turned up LOL
Love you guys....see you all soon!
Til next time.....Be nice to each other :)
Meeg
I copy you Dodger 2! That's a big 10-4. I loved the CB era. Break.
