On Thursday, August 1st, IMPEX officially launched the Camaro Club in Lebanon by bringing together 63 Camaro owners, who all share the same undying passion for their cars; the legends on wheels. The impressive convoy of cars took over the coast by driving from La Marina in Dbayeh, stopping at the Nabil Karam museum and finishing off at the ATCL, in Kaslik, for a dinner reception, where almost 200 invitees were present, among which were various members of the press. Dinner was served at the sound of lounge tunes and faced the ferocious display of parked Camaros from generations 1,2,4 and 5. The interminable line of parked Camaros was legendary and nothing short of a stunning sight for sore eyes. One could easily remark how each car was specially tuned and tailored to reflect its respectable owner; they were cars with real character.
The dinner reception started off with a speech by IMPEX’s General Manager, Mr. Farid Homsi, who beautifully introduced the Camaro’s history, beauty, stellar design and powerful engine. Homsi proudly spoke of the Camaro club as a tribute to the legendary car. He listed perks that IMPEX will be offering the Camaro owners, the activities that they will be hosting and the moments they will be sharing as club members who all share an undying passion for their Camaros. On top of all the exhilarating activities that IMPEX will be endorsing for the club, Homsi also stated that they will actively be promoting road safety for an improved driving experience in Lebanon.
Following Homsi, Mr. Pierre Nercessian, The Camaro Club president, spoke of the Camaro Club as a community of road lovers and thrill seekers. He portrayed members of the club to be people who are fanatical about the Camaro, with a love for the road and a strong interest in personalizing their Camaro experience. Nercessian finally introduced Mr. Vladimir Yeghiazarian as the Camaro Club’s Vice President, Mr. Issam Eid as its General Secretary, and Mr. Bernard Hatem as its Treasurer, before officially inviting attendees to get into gear and enjoy the night away.
