Title: Story behind The Cal-Look Lounge Post by: Todi on April 25, 2009, 16:16:28 pm I´m interested to know the story behind The Cal-Look Lounge. Who is the creator and how long has the Lounge been on the web, and so on.... If there is already a topic on this, please show it to me.

History in the making :) I will let JHU or Trond tell the story. But I do suspect it started due to a above average interest over a certain car and a certain look.

http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?topic=2 Title: Re: Story behind The Cal-Look Lounge Post by: Jon on May 08, 2009, 15:02:18 pm The story is a simple one, I had this idea for a forum for all those who liked cal-look in Scandinavia. But it needed to be English based so that we could understand each other. It was just meant to keep all us that meets at SCC every year in touch thru the winter months.
I remember talking to "SplitMan" about a appropriate name for the place, that would lay the foundation for the ambiance... "the Lounge" fitted the bill perfectly. At the same time I hooked up with my good friend and computer wiz Trond "Fatbeat" Dahl about my thoughts... and within a few hours the lounge was born... after a few well directed nudges/mails to Fabian "Speedwell, Lee "monkey" and our main man Kobus "EBI" Cantraine the Lounge was soon a place to reckoned with... at least on the European radar... but going form that to suddenly having ALL the "old" hero's on here... that's just insane... best regards Jon Title: Re: Story behind The Cal-Look Lounge Post by: speedwell on May 08, 2009, 15:17:18 pm thx for this awesome place /forum , the best ever jon ;)

Title: Re: Story behind The Cal-Look Lounge Post by: Georg/DFL on May 11, 2009, 15:31:23 pm It' definitely fun to see the Lounge growing. Still can remember my firt log in March 07, 2006, 20:45:10 PM. At that time it was just full of Scandinaviens. :D
Thanks guys for this wonderful place. Cheers, Georg Title: Re: Story behind The Cal-Look Lounge Post by: Nico86 on May 11, 2009, 18:13:14 pm Thanks for this great place guys. ;) 8)
