2008 Get together NY-CT-MA area

I thought I would test the waters early and see who interested in a get together for the summer.

Im in Danbury CT 06810, Just out side of Brewster NY.

Probably some time in July or Aug ?

Sounds good! Count me in. I may not have my car done, but I can make a trip to meet you dudes!

George

Where would you do this at?

Norm, depends on how many people. I could do it at my house or look in to a local park. Thats why Im asking now.

Will do John. Hope your hand is ok !

Will do John. Hope your hand is ok !

I can barely hold down the E string on my Bass with my index finger. Forget about the other fingers.... But believe it or not, I couldn't hold down that string yesterday. My left hand feels so much better than when the right hand was done. The pain has subsided almost totally.

Won't be long..... http://www.websmileys.com/sm/music/musik15.gif

Good to hear. Have a speedy recovery !

Isn't there a mopar only show at Barnes airport in Westfield, MA in the June time frame?

This would be a fairly central place to get together.

Not sure. Im looking to do more of a BBQ, social event type of thing.

MassMopar had their first cookout at Rutland State Park last September. It was a great turn out, great weather, good food and great friends.

I might be able to make that trip.

I could be up for a road trip by then....keep us posted...

Dave

not during carlisle or the nats.

Thats what Im trying to avoid. I dont want it to close to either.

Assuming that this query was intended for all members, I'm sure the guys on the west coast that are regulars on this board are scratching their heads over that one! LOL.

LOL, The thread is posted in the North East forum but I can see that looking odd otherwise.

I'm there count me in

if i were to fly in.is there an airport close someone could pick me up at?

Do you want any of us Maritimers to mix with you Americans? You just never know what is possible.

I'm there count me in !!!!!

leblanc. Your welcome to come for sure. North of the border is just a saying for location and country division. You come by car, plane or boat.


Now I'm gonna have to get a name tag! LOL

Why not have it here in NM? It's sure to be sunny and it's just a short 1200 mile trip for most of you:) Really though I may be up that way in may-june for my son's graduation this year. Or........maybe a week's vacation and a shakedown road trip.

When Amy & I went to San Diego 3 yrs. ago we found out the San Diego Mopar Club was having their monthly meeting while we were there. We invited ourselves (it was held at a Mexican Resturaunt.... good food!) to their meeting and introduced ourselves as visiting NY'ers. They treated us like family.


Why should this be any different? Canada...California...Arizona...even Nu Joisey.... we'll take all of ya.... :thumbrig:

FB340, thats what I really like about going out of state. More humans around. Not to mention, you say I got a MoPar at a MoPar meet and they treat you like a lost cousin on a surprise visit. Just about take ya off your feet to sit and break bread.

Yeah, the guys in the San Diego club were very accomodating. They put us on their mailing list for their newsletter, gave my Wife a beautiful embroidered sweatshirt, window stickers for our cars. Class act. The guys whom ran the club definitely sent us home with a great memory of our visit. Not to mention after the meeting/dinner the party hit the parking lot for a few hours and we all talked about what we have...had...and are building. Great time.

My Duster won't be ready by then but I could make the trip up from Philly in the Charger - as long as you guys don't alienate me for not having an A-body. Count me in.

I may be interested in going. It would all depend if I can get it off from work. When the day is set and I can take off, I'm in for sure!

Adam, I'm in the same boat as blackace - I will be there if I can get it off from work. I hope I can make it - super idea!

Ok, I'm in the same boat as 7430duster, who's going to pick me up and what airport should I be flying into? ;-) Of course, I will have some San Fran sour dough bread in hand along with some incredible locally brewed beer. I have some points saved up, I might as well use them. Photos of the Barracuda are going to have to suffice though. Adam, this sounds like a good time.

Absolutely, Everyone is invited if they want to make the trip.

Hummmm, if I take the Dodge Magnum, I'll pick up 5 from a New York Airport. No problem there. Just tell me when your flyin in and what airport it is. Theres 2 in the City, 1 out on the Island by me. A few over on the main land in New Joisey. (LOL @ Black Ace.)

Call adate Adam, this way I can mark it down.

I have a date down now for pinks in late June, so, keep that in mind. Gotta make Pinks...........

Im hoping to make Pinks also. I need to check some other show dates as well.

hopefully my dart will be reliable enough by then. Got friends in eastern NY too. one bought a '73 Charger last summer, he may want to go too.

Friends are welcome !

Ok Carlise is the 11th-13th So that weekend is out. And I dont think the weekend before or after is a great idea so Im thinking Aug 9th ?

I can make Danbury, Brewster!, I'm in Orange County NY not too far...

How far are you from York, PA?

How far are you from York, PA?

Looks like 250 miles or 4hrs and 30min.

Theres a nice park in Bethel with a pavilion, kitchen and a huge BBQ pit I was thinking about. Real close to Exit 8 off of 84

Thinking Aug 9th

Would you have to get permits, special permission etc to do a get together like that?

Need a permit. Its $100

ill pay the 100.00 permit fee if someone wants to pay for my round trip ticket from oregon :D:D lol i wont make it but i hope you guys have a good time and hope the weather works out for you but in august you guys should be good i would think. Have fun Justin

if we get some numbers of people together i can see about a local park in Brewster but would need some type of a car count Mopars invade Brewster could be cool Cheers

Yes, one day need to get quartes put on not able to do it im my garage unfornatly used to do body work when in college. I never saw your car at marcus unfornatly, its a shame what there going to do to that place, its always about the money unfornatly. Where is your shop located see you do cars would love to stop by and see your car Cheers Keith

Adam since we live so close if you need a hand setting this thing up in Bethal let me know would like to see it happen as well Cheers Keith

Hey Keith,
What, exactlt, are they going to do with Marcus Dairy? I've heard nothing regarding any changes to the property, but I'm not as close as some of you guys.

That is always one of the best cruise nights in the area.

George

Level and build a strip mall. Because we need more, Been threw New Milford lately ? Its ridiculous, four lanes and nothing but strip malls and shopping centers. Danbury is being coming the condo capital of the world. Im strarting to hate CT.

Ok Carlise is the 11th-13th So that weekend is out. And I dont think the weekend before or after is a great idea so Im thinking Aug 9th ?

Thinking Aug 9th

Looks like Aug. 9th is a good day for me. With this much notice, anyone can make it. 7 months is enuff to save a few bucks and take a day off (or 2 ) from work to make this.

Just look into the details of it all so theres no catch or unforeseen bummer and we'll do it!

my zip code is 19056 levittown PA,,, give me a zip code so i can map quest it and see if im off,,,,,,
I can meet up with you on your way up and I can follow you in the Charger. I might even have the Duster ready by that time and my Bro can follow in that.

I'd love to go but I drive my cars and I'm booked into MECCA (Branson) 5/2-5/9. Can't see another trip that long this year. I really want to make Vegas.

im thinking,,,isnt august 9 th the weekend of the mopar nats ?? if so it might clash with some guys plans on which event to do,,,,????

Im not sure, I didnt see any shows listed for that week.
My sister gets married the last weekend of Aug so I have a busy schedule the next few weeks after the 9th. E-Town is in May, Carlise is July11-13th

Nats are in Ohio right ? If its the show Im thinking of its in Sept.

http://www.ccevents.com/

Also my zip code is 06810 for anyone that want to do a quick map quest.

Sounds good to me!

Mopar Nats are the weekend of 8/9 and 8/10/08

Atlantic Nationals in Moncton New Brunswick (Canada's largest car show) is July 10-13, you are all welcome.

autobodyspeacialties is not to much further. I could get my parts and hang out as well. now all I have to do is save up the money for the body parts that I keep spending.

is a date, time, place been set?

Not yet. I have a lot going on right now. In the middle of moving out, staying at my mothers for awhile, then hopefully moving again in a month or 2.

I also have my sisters wedding in Aug and plans for mid July as well as some show I had planned on attending that I havent made in a few years.

Dude.... don't tell me this is going to fizzle out. It would be a disappointment... http://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/696.gif

John, We will do something even if we get together at Marcus Dairy one weekend. Assuming they have Marcus this year.

I just have so much going on right now my head is spinning and I want to break stuff, LOL

Adam, you do have a lot on your plate right now but I am sure your Mom wouldn't mind if 50 or so guys and their cars showed up at her house, right? If she's anything like my mother, her man focus would be on trying to figure out how to feed everyone. ;-)

BTW: Am I seeing things or did the "R" in your name just flip around?

I noticed that too. Why is it that your little green light is never on when your logged o, GTX?

My mom wouldnt mind but good luck finding a parking spot. Yes I flipped my R just to mess with you, LOL

He set as invisible so know one but staff can see if hes on.

Ahh. Touche GTX, touche.

He set as invisible so know one but staff can see if hes on.

Damn, I was being sly & didn't even know it. Just call me Bond ... James Bond. Time for a dry martini and a little Pussy Galore. ;-)

My mom wouldnt mind but good luck finding a parking spot.


Why, don't the neighbors have lawns???

Marcus Dairy would be good too... Don't have to worry about chessing-off the neighbors. Especially if your parked on their lawn.

Adam,
You've mentioned more than once about Marcus possibly not being there soon. Well, curiosity got the best of me so now I have to ask;
What is the story? We here in eastern Fairfield County have heard nothing about Marcus or any possible demise.

Looking forward to a get-together. I wanna meet more of youze joiks!

George

Sorry to bring up an old thread but it was new to me. Is the A body forum Northeast get together a dead issue or just put on hold? Marcus is gonna be open all summer for cruise night this year. Last summer the "new" GTO owners club held their get together at marcus. Would be awesome to flood the lot with might mini MoPars.

tom340,

That would be great - you have a date in mind? Maybe the 1st Sat in June... or?

Kory

Kory Im not quite sure myself if they even dropped the whole plan. I'm constantly poking around the site & finding new stuff here. Thread was @ 2 months dormant. I agree, would be great. Hopefully can be planned out not to conflict with Carlisle weekend 'cause thats where I'll be. Maybee June 21 or 28th? Could give some guys heads up for planning. Hey Adam :) how many bedrooms ya have?

Hell, this has been on hold to long.

Call a date and time and we'll show.

Saturdays are very good due to not having to hurry out of work and hustle over a alllready clocged bridge and fight on through to M/D. Something I never drove to. (EEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!!!!!)

Hell, this has been on hold to long.




I'll second that. Let's just pick a weekend already? If it fizzles out, we'll plan another. The season is early guys.....

MassMopar is having their second cookout September 7th if anyone is interested.

It is located at a very nice park in central Mass

Here are pics of last year cookout: MassMopar 2007 Cookout (http://www.massmopar.com/Files/mmco/album/index.html)

Here is more info: MassMopar 2008 cookout postings (http://www.massmopar.com/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1205435717)

Well, thats a trip but with plenty of notice!

I'll second that. Let's just pick a weekend already? If it fizzles out, we'll plan another. The season is early guys.....
Im thinking how about Saturday June 21st? Jim from Southworths Chrysler in New Milford ('70 duster) is sponsering a carshow I think on June 28th. Im sure he would like to get his Duster down to Marcus for this. This would give us just over 3 full weeks to plan. I hope we can get a shitload of cars together for this!

Penned in, though I may not show up in an "A" body.

Sounds like a plan to me. I wanted to do something bigger but my work schedule and other obligations have pretty much killed that idea.

Here we go.....

I'm in Florida the weekend of the 21 st. My Sister is getting married....

BTW: Any members in the Homasassa area?

Adam,

I have no idea how many folks woild come to Marcus but do you think this is something we need to tell them (car club at Marcus) about?

Kory

I think if you tell them they save a section for you but I dont think we will have that many cars for it to matter.

Saving a few spots is definitely a good idea. Adam I'll need a handfull of FABO cards to pass along at Carlisle too.

BTT, whos coming ?

http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=37869

I'm in on the 21st. Southworth Chrysler is planning a show for all makes on Sat. July 5th ending with the New Milford Fireworks Display. Our lot is the prime spot to park and watch. Jim Williams

adam,
im NOT towing my car this year!!!...i still have to find that camera to develop those pics!!!

Are we going to have a general meet in Carlise?

I'll try to get to wherever, but man, what was supposed to be a dead year seems awfully busy

Are we going to have a general meet in Carlise?
I noticed at Carlisle quite a few online forums and clubs set up tents. I think the A body section was the only area lacking a specific club tent..at least from what I could remember. An FABO spot might be a novel idea?? Would make it pretty conspicuous place to have a general meet. Could sell some FABO T's, set up a grille. Maybe sell unauthorized parts too? lol . 2009?

Im working on a get together for the year at Marcus Dairy Cruise night. Easy to get to right off Exit 3 of I84.

Been watching this tread as this is what happens in the Midwest Region. Like Tom said. Pick a Mopar event already structured around your area and set up a base gathering spot for all to meet. Take a big ass BBQ grill and do the chicken wings and brauts and burgers and have those that come do a little chippin in to cover the grub and drinks. The Midwest group have started setting up at Monster Mopar Weekend in St Louis and theres no reason the guys in the west couldn't do the same at an event in their area. Get you a big FABO banner made up and hang out your shingle. The only stipulation in St Louis is that you can't serve food. You can cook and eat for your own gang but you cant sell any. When you buy and pay for 8 swap meet spaces the guy that runs it in St Louis trys to bend over to make you happy. We had the most spaces of any and all vendors last year and i don't expect that to change. Now your wondering who pays for the spaces. I do to make it available to FABO members. It aint cheap but my fun is priceless. Hope it works out for ya.

I'll have my Dart in the A body section with my 10 year old son. We'll have one of those $100 tent things from Walmart set up so we can get out of the sun, and we'll be flippin some burgers & dogs for survival. Anyone is welcome to stop by and chill out in the shade. I don't know how to let you all know who I am, other than the fact that I'll probably have the only gold 69 Swinger 340 at the fairgrounds. Last year I didn't see one gold 69 Dart.

George

Well if it is after aug. 15 I am in ! I will be at the tuned by tuna show with the shriners scamp ! anythiing before that I will not be able to attend but anything after that will be do-able.
