Hi everyone,

This summer's New England Moparts Cruise will be held on Saturday, June 25th 2005.

Please reserve the date!

The route and "timed intervals" for this cruise will be the SAME as last Summer:
Hampton Beach, NH @ 8:00AM
Nashua, NH.
Jaffrey, NH for LUNCH.
Northampton, MA.
Charlemont, MA.
Hemmings Motor New Museum at Bennington, VT and DINNER.

I am working on details for another New England cruise:
Essex, CT - zigzagging northwest to a BBQ in Berne, NY.
I am interested in feedback on the following:
- Would any of you LIKE a second cruise?
- What are good dates for a second cruise that wouldn't conflict with other shows?

More details will be posted as the Cruise date approaches.

THANKS MOPARTS & EVERYONE!

Let there be no pressure - this is about having fun. We won't care if you arrive in your mom's '68 Mustang like last year (you know who you are... BRIAN! ).

Already have June 25th circled on the calender.
Art, if you have any friends coming from NY and need a place to stay let me know, I have a spare room and an empty spot in my garage too. I'm 40 minutes from Hampton Beach.

I'd love to go but just live to far away. I'm about 4-4 1/2 hours from Portsmouth.
Come to think of it I live to far from anything except some of the best snowmobiling in the country. You guys have fun. Crazy73 you have mail.

I am interested, anyone mind if i am driving a dakota or maybe a 300m special. Dart definately wont be done. might be driveable for a late summer cruise in CT though

This year I will make the June 25 cruise.Really looking forward to it and the Dart is running good.

One more. Gulp Gulp

Count me in. I'd like to try and make it from the beginning this time. And if you need help with a second cruise Art, I'd be happy to help plan it.

I'm doing an engine compartment repaint and engine swap on the convertible when the weather is warm (so I can paint) so I will likely be in the '68 Newport Custom 4 door HT.

Thanks for the responses guys

Evan - Thanks for the good psyche. Bring your whole town. Mopars are preferred, but not required. And it's not limited to Moparts members.

Brian - Thanks for the offer buddy, I'll let ya know!

Dave - you will be welcomed in any car you want. We had a few "non-classics" last year and it was fine.

Rich - I just talked to Pete Marshall with the survivor B5 A12 in my area. He said he won't make the reunion at Carlisle, but let us know when you guys pass through town. Nice to see the pix again, here's another classic from last year:


Rob - thanks for the good psyche. I'll keep in touch. Just saw the pics of your cars on the other thread. Nice vert!

Cheers, -Art

Count me in !! Last years was fantastic !!

I'm in! Don't know what leg I'll be on, I'd love to make it to hampton. Don't know what car either, maybe the charger...maybe the cuda...maybe both? June 25th...now to get work off for carlisle and the 25.

....for the Weekend Crowd.....

Nick, can't you bring 'em both? Make your kid brother drive one of 'em, I'm sure you'd have to twist his arm.

Hey Art!
You know I'm there. Going for the 'long haul'award again. BTW, in you pic it looks like my Cuda has the rare 'right hand drive' option!
