Moparts @ Woodward "LOCATION FOUND"

Quote:

---

There are enough of us that live close, how about getting together for this guys???

---

I'd be in for it but NOT on the Saturday of the cruise,
that place is a joke that day.... we sorta have a
get together now(a few of us) at the Donut Cutter
on the Wensday before

Quote:

---

Well maybe we can find a hotel or some other business that we can camp out at right on woodward, that. Any guys local up there that have an idea?

---

The problem with that is there are a few thousand
other guys trying to do the same thing... even on the
days before the cruise.... that whole week

Despite all the setbacks that have kept me from coming since 2002, I will be making the trip up from Houston this year ! Might even drive the Hemi this time. Looking forward to seeing old friends and new ones. Lee.

---

Lee,
not sure if you remember,,,we met you and another fella there,,,,we were parked at a Ford dealership off woodward,,i think you had/have a white RR ?
I had my Charger....
Have moved to Kentucky since,,,but might make it up this year,,,,and bring the car,,,,,,,,,,,

Doug



ps,,,anyone,,,what are the dates for the cruise this year ?
( if i come up,,,it would be the week of,,,to hang out,,,my Mom lives 20 minutes away from Woodward,,,and we used to live right there in Farmington Hills.........),,,i could stay at her place and make it to Woodward that week...

We used to hang out at the Beef Carver but this year we went to downtown Pontiac. It was nowhere near as crowded and the police were turning a blind eye to the burnouts as long as no one got too stupid.

---

I wouldnt mind going up to Pontiac this year

You guys from Detroit area crack me up! You have absolutely the greatest cruise on the face of the earth and some of you won't come because of the crowds!!!??!! Seriously, I have met some great folks at Woodward and I hope y'all will reconsider and turn out for this. When I came in 02, my brain locked up after days of looking at one fine car after another, I just got numb. I tell folks that NOBODY takes cars as seriously as the Motor City. I am a veteran of two Power Tours, various Chicago area and California cruises and I can tell ya, there is not anything like Woodward! Texas has nothing worth even mentioning, and its tough for a Texan to admit that! I tell my car nut friends that before they die, they need to experience the Dream Cruise. I'll be bringing at least two newbies this year, more if I can get them. Hope to at least provide a bit of economic stimulus. Hope to see you guys at the old Donut Cutter or wherever Moparts decides to meet. Lee.

When you have seen them every year for many years, and then how much worse it's gotten in recent years, you tend to either pass it up altogether, or hit a few spots where your buds hang out and leave early to avoid the evening drunken stupidity.

We have several of the coolest cruises all around that time. There's teh gratiot cruise, the harper cruise, the downriver, one in flint...lots. It's a good time. You just have to be in the mood, and the weather has to be good.

I am building a new smallblock though, and I plan on being there this year.

I would definitely love to meet a lot of you guys and shoot the bull. I agree something should be set up for moparts in specific, even if it's away from woodward. That would probably make life a lot easier for everyone.

Well all you local to Detroit members should pick a spot that we could call home base and I would have no problem trying to get us some special treatment possibly. Im currently trying to se if Schumacher to take some show cars up, that would help us get some good parking

---

Like was said earlier ... I wouldnt mind going up to
Pontiac to some place up there, its not as crowded
and you can play some.... I cant take my car to the
Donut Cutter... they just kick me out(no plates)
and I wont have the street rod done by then

Guys, I live in Indy, not sure of the route you are taking up...I will have to trailer my junk, but I am in.

Does the doughnut cutter happen all weekend?

---

In the past Donut Cutters was on the Wendsday...
one other thing.... does your car have a plate, if
not they will boot you out(the cops will)
Does anyone know of a place in Pontiac we could go to

Quote:

---

Oh yea, my car is a full street car. My dads car runs slicks, but we will plate it as well. Do you think they will mess with him?

---

Not for the slicks

Doug, not sure yet, but last time we left monday, 6 a.m. and reached Bowling Green about 9 pm. This is the monday prior to the cruise. Lee

---

So you would probably leave Bowling Green on "Tuesday" morning,,,? Louisville is about 2 hours north of Bowling Green,,,

I am just trying to get a idea of timing...I might try and find you guys as you travel thru this area,,,and head north... ( you taking I-65 to I 71 ? )

Jim (572),,sounds like he has a good spot in Pontiac for everyone,,,might want to take him up on that...

Looking forward to seeing you guys again. Doug, I believe you helped us last time with the hotel in Nova(?) near Farmington. Our route has us going from Houston to Hammond La. then up to Memphis, Nashville and finally Bowling Green, Ky.

---

Doug, what day are you leaving? Has anyone decided on a place we can all gather at?

Hey guys... I dont want to take away from the Moparts theme, but a few guys on the bullet rented a parking lot on woodward, about 10 miles north of where the chaos is. It looks like a big group of fast cars are coming. Its 75 dollars a car, and they are going to try to feed people off that as well. I just reserved 3 spaces, so if some of the local rebels here are interested, here is the link to get hooked up with 71monte fyi hes a good guy, so no worries about sending your money to him!

Josh,
I think the lot is "full" ?
I saw the post on YB,

Doug

I talked to Bill a couple of days ago... there were plenty
of spots left plus they are talking a big cook out for
it (included in the price)

Mike, I have a hotel that is 4 miles from there by the walter p chrysler museum. We are bringing 2 trailers but have 4 room, so if you want you can park there with us and drive over. My dads is similar to yours with the slicks and open headers, and we both run e-85.....

---

I dont want to chance driving it over there from Chrysler
and if I can park my rig at the place then thats fine,
I dont mind one bit about staying in the trailer,
its got all the comforts of home

Quote:

---

Josh,sounds like a pretty good little get-together! I've done business with Bill,and Harold,and they're good people! I might be interested in a few spots the day of the Cruise! I'm waiting to hear from my friend, Ron Wilson,(Firefighter 3931)to let me know if he's able to make it from Ottawa! I'll be in touch! Or should I get ahold of Bill? Randy B.

---

Randy, just get a hold of Bill... he's not running
the whole thing but is involved with it... sounds
like a good time for sure.... I think I might swing
by in my cart
