New England meet?

[thebear54]

Hey Guys and Gals....
I just got a heads up from the Chamber of Commerce today.....
The weekend we picked will be a car paradise for all us car nuts.
The long running Hildene(That's Robert Tod Lincoln's estate in Manchester, Son of Abraham Lincoln) Antique Auto show will be running that weekend along with a car parts flea market.
Also the Equinox hill climb may have to putoff because there will be an annual antique sports car club hill climb that weekend also. Lots of really sweet antique race and sports cars making the attempt up the hill.
But we still have the romp through the Green Mountain National Forest...and maybe a few more surprises.
Let's make this a fun event...put you name on the list

Geez...seems I'm gonna miss y'all by a week. I fly into Hartford on the 19th and will be at the Foxwoods (because of a conference) and R.I. (because I miss home) for six days. And to think I'll lose out on the "furthest traveled for a meet" door prize too. You folks enjoy yourselves. George

Even though I'm in Alaska with my VX (had to get some service done by my mechanic) I should be back in Boston by the end of May...so I'll try my best to make it. Count me 1/2 in!

[thebear54]

Hey Shoota77...
If you are driving back you would win the L.D.A. of the day (Long Distance Award)....LOL
Try to get in touch with BBVX(Brian) maybe you guys could caravan over from the Boston area together.

So we now have 9 1/2 on the list.

I'm all signed up to go but I have this one small issue, I'm one of those people who cant find their way out of a paper bag. Is there anybody from the Rye, Hampton, seacoast area I could caravan with?

Another quick question; How long is everyone staying and where are you staying? Hotel, campground, what are our options?

[thebear54]

Well, the plan is for a one day meet but there is plenty do around this area if you feel like hanging out for the weekend.
Lots of campgrounds available,hotels,motels,country Inns...you name it.
If anyone is planning on staying the weekend you had better book now because there are going to be a lot of Antique Car Nuts in town for the big car show at "Hildene" (on Saturday and Sunday) and there is also the antique sports car rally at Equinox Mountain(scheduled for Saturday).
We have a couple of VXers in NH...you should be able to caravan over easily
(UNEVENTHOUGHTS get a hold of VEHIX).
As long as everybody can find Vermont Route 7 you are there...this Route runs right through Manchester.

T-Minus 16 days and counting....

Getting closer guys and gals....We have 10 members on the list so far to head to Manchester, VT for the New England Meet.
Anyone else out there want to join us???
I have prepared some "goodie bags" and "Dash Plaques" for everyone who attends.

For those of you coming from N.H.- Either take Route 101 to Keene, to Brattleboro and then follow Route 30 to Manchester or find VT Route 4 in the Northern part to Rutland and take Route 7 south to Manchester.

Those coming from MA- take MA Route 2 from Boston to Route 91 to Brattleboro then follow Route 30 to Manchester.

From CT & RI-Take Route 91 to Brattleboro then follow Route 30 to Manchester.

We should all meet at "The Inn @ Manchester" on Route 7A around 10-ish and go forth from there . Look for the ISUZU flag flying in the breeze.
