    well, i joined back in August 24th of 2002. so it hasn't been that long but i still have seen some things change. i remember one of the first posts i read was by idk, i cant remember, but they said they hit a viper and it turned out to be in gta3

    tgc is just my home. its like the first site i check when im online. i found it while searching for pics of modded galants when i first bought mine. if i never bought the galant i would have bought an accord. i wanted to paint it two different colors of green RICE! :x

    i wish i could start a chapter but with electricjoe being the only tgc member from wisconsin that i know of thats not gonna happen.

    thanks for doing such a great job BGR and all you other mods who make this such a great place!

    Hey sure it could! It might be unofficial but as long as it's TGC Cheese Chapter we'd love to have you Course you'd have to pay royalties to BGR for using the TGC name and all but I think it'd still be worth it

    some of us (hopefully more than before) give donations to rich so that he can maintain this site. the only real thing that you have to do is ask first. let rich know what you want to do, and he'll say yes or no. simple

    ROFL no, he's a generous guy. Really nice person if you ever meet him Just don't make fun of his shades, or else you'll never see ever again.

    i may not have a lot of posts but i've known tgc (aka BigRich's 2K Galant Center) since 12/17/1999 a week after i got my 00 Galant.

    if any of you are interested, the old yahoo board is still archived at:

    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bigrichs2kgalantcenter

    that's where i found out about the exact date i joined tgc. my yahoo id back then was "dyaey" (jay).

    here's bgr's very first post on the yahoo board:

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Hello and welcome to my Galant Center. I own a 2K Galant V6 ES. At this current time I do not have any pics of my car but will post them as soon as I take some. So far I have posted some of my favorite pics of the New Galant that I've found on the Net. These pics are from other countries, like Japan, UK, S. America and New Zealand. I also posted some pics of my Car, courtesy of Mitsucars.com and Adobe Photoshop. (I own a Patriot-Red Galant so this is what my car looks like) with different sets of wheels so I can see what my car will look like once I buy some 18" rims and drop it a little. So, feel free to post messages about your Galant or if you have questions about the Galant, post them here. I'm also currently in contact with another Country in hopes of getting the front facia of their countries Galant and having it put on mine. I'll post my upgrades but will probably take some time considering I ain't made of money.</div>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(bstnsportsfan)</div><div class='quotemain'>:scary: Dam reelax, i can't believe you didn't mention me. I have been around on the TGC board since May 01, long before most members. I was a member on the yahoo board, I believe back in April 01. Â*

    I remember the big topic in the 7G board was white faced gauges, :laughing: Not indiglo, but just white Vinyl. Geez, TGC has come a long way. We have had our problems though, I remember in a few month span, we had like 3 seperate boards.

    I don't remember exactly when I became a Mod, but it was on the first board, maybe around spring 02? I think I was part of the "second batch" to be moved to mod status.

    And I found TGC by finding Chris' (GalantESP) website, I emailed him to say nice Galant and he responded by telling me about the Yahoo club, joined that, then moved to TGC in May 01.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>thank you BGR and everyone that gave what they did. </div>

    Well said Reelax!</div>

    sorry bro, my mind is going to mush... i'll let u know next time im in miami and buy u a drink! are u 21 yet partner? actually i'll b in hollywood around august for a week. we're throwin a convention and parties at the westin advocate.

    Hmm I think I joined the Yahoo group like March 2000 .... but I'm proud to say I was Member # 3 on our first Real www.thegalantcenter.com Board !!! ( BGR was # 2 LOL ) ..

    I also contributed to BGR choosing THEgalantcenter as the name, since I stole Galantcenter.com URL when places like Namezero and others were offering free names. hehehe sorry about that !!

    hey, i'm 16 and cant drive that far for meets, and i see alot of galants around. Lately i've been seeing more and more g-rides on chrome and with systems. I was wondering if anyone on here had a city-wide chapter. i would be interesting in starting a Greensboro, NC Chapter. It would/could include the piedmont area (Greensboro, Highpoint, Winston-Salem) but either way, it would only get us more members here and in the Carolina Chapter. Speaking of that, i put in a request to be admitted to the Carolina Chapter a while back and never got my info up..... anyway, let me knoe what u guys think about this idea. There's gotta be someone out here!!!

    i remember those times..... the only jdm 7g galant i know back in those days was mitsupiet.

    almost everybody in tgc long ago either have a very nice usdm 7g or usdm 8g.

    the V6 6A12s or V6 6A13s and jdm garnishes and oem bodykits were a rare sight.

    now, i see members from asia and europe with similar galants.
    i love the diversity of tgc.

    more boost to bgr and tgc!

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Outlawzcc)</div><div class='quotemain'>Well I was the one who started the Bay Area Chapter. Â*If I remeber right it was us and a couple of other chapters that started at the same time. Â*You will have to to get with Rich on that one. Â*It started with Me, Whips-n-chains and BGR. Â*Then came along Nick (<span style='color:red'>300Dragonle</span>). Â*At one time we had like 40 members then it went all the way down to 5. Â*Where at 20 the last time I looked.
