Mutiara Damansara, 8 June – Kangoo Club Malaysia held its very first gathering, a meeting of the minds, so to speak, on a sweltering June morning last Sunday, the 4th. For lack of choice venues, McDonald’s at Mutiara Damansara was our location for this meet as it offered ample parking space, and also because it was free. It was also perfect for us Goosters to park our Goos in one symmetrical row for others to go Goo-goo Gaa-gaa over them.
The Goo-thering, as we have taken to calling it in Goo-speak, provides the chance for the members to, first and foremost, put the faces to the cyber-friends that we have been conversing with. It creates an opportunity to build camaraderie, to meet and mix and mingle, in a way no amount of ‘forumming’ or chatting can do.
It gives us the chance to touch and feel, (the Goos, I mean) to try and answer any queries about the condition of each other Goos, and also to gawk at (with greenish envy) what the other guy or gal has on his or her ride that we don’t have.
The Goo-thering has also progressed to the stage that we’ve attracted curious onlookers to not just give us a once over, but to actually approach us and make friendly inquiries. Such is the pulling power of the group, as a row of oh-so-very-unique cars is a sure-fire head-turning, jaw-dropping scene to behold.
