VX Tri state & PA area meeting

[Gussie2000]

I don't know if happened in the past but is possible to have a tri-state & PA meeting ( New york,Connecticut,New jersey & Pennsylvania)

It shall be nice having a cook out some where in NJ or NY

Hey guys are all of you up for this on a saturday or sunday around july ?

[circmand]

Maybe Quad State?

Maybe Quad State?

Oh yes,i realized just after pensilvannia came into my mind

[twistedsymphony]

depending on how far south this is and how many people are planning on attending I might consider making the drive down from NH

[Gussie2000]

OK guys,we all know that time goes by very fast so it's time to discuss about the best location to spend a nice time together.

State of new jersey offers the best locations because of its geografical position between NY,PA & CT,so all the attending VX'ers shall drive the same average distance;Some where in the northen area should be fine so all inputs are welcome.

I've spent time sending PM's every day to most of the VX'ers that had activity login in the last 6 months living in our states assuming that they'll received those PM's & login to respond.

So far few of us had confirmed,others are considering join us,such as twistedsymphony who's willing to drive down fron NH to be with us.

I hope more fellow VX'ers join us while time runs by & the due date comes closer & feel encouraged too.

There's many of us living close each other;July seems to be the perfect month but we can change that if is difficult for a considerable amount of us to make it.

Again,please make all inputs about locations that can be considered.

Best regards

I've helped or organized some meets...

KahunaVille (now closed) in Wilmington DE for a car show in 04
Valley Forge PA in 06
and most recently, a recurring '3rd friday' car show at a dealer literally around the corner from my house in Newtown Square during the summers in 07/08

How does Atlantic City sound for a meet up area?

I would be more likely to attend one in Valley Forge or Gettysburg but that may not be ideal for the largest attendance.

Atlantic city sounds nice !

Do you have any nice special spot there to hang out ?

[Gussie2000]

Hi guys !

I was doing some home work & googling the state of NJ searching for good spots we can held our meeting.

I have not much of anknowledge of NJ but can any one who lives there share some tips about the delaware river area ?

I believe there is few places suitable for us such as restaurants,open barbecues areas,shopping centers,etc.

Also proposing the meeting day on sunday the 19th,or sunday the 25th of july.

Again,all inputs & proposals are welcome guys.

Get out of my head! I was just thinking of revisting this thread the other day but got distracted by something shiny...

I want to get back to the Simeone Foundation museum, now that I have a better digital camera than I had last fall.

It is simple to get to, just a couple minutes from the Philadelphia Int'l Airport.

They welcome car meets and cruises with open arms.

And if you want to see some amazing automotive history, it's the place to go.

Read about it here:
http://www.simeonefoundation.org/

It has only been open since July of last year, and so far Carroll Shelby, Jay Leno and Mario Andretti (just to name a few) have been there

Afterwards we could find food either in the city, or the burbs ...

Thoughts?

Matamoras, PA - it's by the Delaware River at the corner of NY/NJ/PA. Very easy to get to from CT as well.

It's a little hill-billy, but they have fireworks - the good kinds...

[hyperkid]

I'm way down here in MD - we should get a DC meet going..

Hi Hyper !

Why don't you join us,maryland isn't that far.

This can be even better because on your way you can catched up few fellow VX'ers so the ride don't be lonely

[Gussie2000]

Hi guys.

I've change the date the meet was originally scheduled for the 4th to the 25th on july month after reviewing the request of fellow members for a later date.

This post goes for all members that already responded to the old thread & for new ones planning to do so please follow this new thread to update the list of attending members.

So far a good number of members has responded to this call,about 25 if i not mistaken with the hope more will join us later.

I'll sending new PM's to all members so they can be aware of the change of dates.

The location will be arrange in the following weeks,be aware it will be held in the northern NJ area because of the better & fast access from main highways such as I-78 I-280 I-287 I-87 connecting the states of new york,new jersey,connecticut & pennsylvania which seems to be very convenience for all of us.

I'll be focusing on finding a good lounge/mall/shoppin center with a huge parking lot if every body agrees to have a meal & couple of beers.

Time is running by,only 90 days away from this weekend to meet ya guys.

I hope this change doesn't hardly affects the plan each member had to attend the meet

If every thing goes as planned this meet can be done once every year the same way as other meets like moab in utah.

Gussie, how about the Palisades Center Mall in Nyack, NY?

Convenient to all highways - it's right on I-87/I-287, has a hubangie parking lot, and they have a Dave & Busters.
