How bout Mark Nixon putting in the 318 when my 225 blew up? That should make it into this post...

I'm still thinking but I know WAY more than that happened this year.

How about the fact that we kicked Iraq's ass,as we did,Afganistan's,last year.And we got the Top SCUMBAG and his 2 Turds.

On the Moparts and Mopar Adventures I made it to Carlisle,the Mopar Nationals,the World Nats at Norwalk,and the Chrysler Classic at Norwalk as well.I met alot of members this yr and saw DG every where I went,a dedicated fan of the Mopar World,She is,always surely to brighten someones DAY. Thanks Moparts for letting me Enjoy the REST of the MOPAR WORLD Via the WWW.

I'm still haunted by what if's concerning the Moparts Enginemasters motor. And I'm still in awe thinking about the people and talent that came together to make it happen.
I still get a chuckle thinking about Randy Bolig being kicked out of cruise nite. (Randy, I'm not laughing at you)
I'm still wondering what was going through Dave Hughes head.
Terry Crow's project car, what can you say... it's everyones dream.
And Onebadsuperbird's and DartGirls ultimate road trip.

Glad I found this site and you all, thx to Bluebird.

Well,
I went to my first Nat's and have planned my vacation around it next year too. While there met OBS at Big Bear and had a bunch of fun everywhere. I spent sometime with members prostock and heavy metal. Both are good guys.
I got into the chatroom and have god friends there too.
went to Mopars at the Battleship and met The Mean Machine and Frank is a good guy too.
Coaxed Mark Nixon into coming to FL finnally and getting his Duster only to feel like crap when I found out it left him stranded in KC Kansas. Mark is a good guy too as anyone who has met him can attest too.
Planning on more Mopar activities for next year and as long as I don't break TBB again he is going with me.

383man bought a 63 Ply Sport Fury and it has a 383 in it ! Ron

I went from 1 Mopar to 3

Big Mopar doings for me this year include;

Attending the 1st Annual Mopars On Ice show last June in Anchorage Alaska. Anchorage is over 2400 miles from me, so I earned the long distance award while averaging 11.6 miles to the gallon in my 440-6 powered '71 Challenger.

This month also marks the seventh anniversary since I re-started the Challenger T/A Registry, it has been a lot of fun and I have made lots of great friends. 969 T/As currently on file, and they just keep coming in.

Hooking up three T/A owners with broadcast sheets for their cars in the last two months too.

Getting my new website up and running with help from fellow Moparts members Ken and Nick.

Another awesome creation from G-Series and Pam should make this list as well, they have wonderful imaginations and the skills to make their visions come to life.

My pal Kissalien FINALLY buying a Panther Pink Challenger after years of looking should make this list as well.

Overall, it has been a great Moparts Year,to many, many more!

I_Bleed_Mopar, yeah I meant that Dale sold the car! I used the term "flipped" cuz that was the term that was being used when Dale was getting hammered for letting the Cuda go to a new home!

Barry, waaaaaait a minute here. I thought you were IN Alaska??? That being the case, it's a 2,400 mile drive to Anchorage???

Don't forget, Not only did Steff get his "10", but his Chally was also Featured in Mopar Muscle as well!

I think it's also appropriate to mention that I was fortunate to be able to meet a ton of Moparts board members at this years Mopar Nats.

I have also made some really good friends here on Moparts and for that, I am thankful! It's always good to see and talk to John (1bad!) Even though John is usually working hard as usual to turn-out the high quality he always does. (As well as all the others too!)

Thanks Moparts/Tom
Chuck

Thanks Chuck!!!

Hi John,
Alaska is BIG! LOL

I am just as close to Anchorage as Glenwood Springs Colorado. 2400 miles as the crow flies from here to either city. I live on an island, so we had to put the car on a ferry as far as Haines, then drive through BC and the Yukon to Tok, then down to Anchorage. The driving part of the trip was over 1700 miles.

If you set Alaska down over the 48 contiguous states, SE Alaska would be in Florida,the Aleutians would be in California and Point Barrow would be in Montana.

We could divide Alaska up three times and then Texas would be the 4th largest state.

Barry

Wow, I made the list! The only good things that have come from this year are the RamCharger and the Swingers. Thus far the race is still on. And yes, he has more cars now!

Ryan

I had no idea Alaska was really that size, and that you were on an island as well!
That is very cool!! (no pun intended )

OK let me have at this:

Jan, trade '68 Coronet 440 shell for '78 Aspen SE 4-dr and '75 Ranchero, both run.

April: Dislocate Elbow from said Aspen, out for a month, kick car into corner and neglect it. Also get '85 Ram out and running

May: Recovering nicely, break trans in '74 Dodge, replace with one twice as bad, park car. Drive '81 Ram SWB daily

June: Build '85 Ram with a 400/auto

Early july: Drive said '85 Ram to Manhattan. End up home okay. Break the motor playing too hard, park Truck.

August: Get rid of 5 cars, trade said Ram and Club Cab plus extra motor for '70 Sport Fury GT. Trade '66 Dodge LWB for '77 Fury 4-dr. Change nickname to TX9_Plymouth

September: Trade Ranchero for '78 Fury A-38 Kansas Highway Patrol car

October: Drop 225 from '78 Aspen SE after unsuccessfully trying to break it. 318 Suspension goes in place.

November: find and put money down on '77 Volare Custom 2-dr post.

December: Pick up Volare, then am attempting to pick up found '78 Aspen R/T and '78 Fury A38. All in one week. Make resolution to not buy anymore after this unless they are parts cars.

So there, there are a few more details on my end!

Barry, wow, I knew Alaska was BIG but I didn't know it was THAT big!!! That is just too cool. I'd love to drive it sometime in the summer. I bet driving a T/A on the island must be a total rush!

Hey John,
I had to do some online digging, but here are the top three states as far as actual square miles go.

#1 - Alaska - 656,425 sq. miles
#2 - Texas - 268,601 sq. miles
#3 - California - 163,707 sq. miles

And just for Oz, Austrailia is 2,941,285 sq.
miles.

My T/A has been in storage for a while, but I put 23,000 miles on it here - without leaving the island.

Barry

What about Dennis? I'm still not clear on what lead to him not being here, but he was a longtime member of this site, very helpful, very informative. When his wife suddenly passed away at a much too early age, all differences were set aside and the great people of moparts stepped in to help Dennis out. Acts like this speak VOLUMES about what kind of people we have here on this board.
