Jul 2012 Meet - Sat 7/21 BBQ @ Duke Island Park, then to Howell charity cruise night

[BonzoHansen]

Watch for details as we get closer, but what we are looking to do is a full day of fun and charity.

Here is the preliminary plan: We do our annual BBQ at Duke Island Park early in the day. Then we leave Duke around 3 pm and head towards Howell, NJ. There we will take part in the twice monthly Blue Moon Kruisers cruise night at Chick-Fil-A in Howell. Once again the club will match all club member cash donations dollar for dollar up, to a cumulative total of $100.

We think this will be a great day, so plan for it now!

When: Saturday 7/21/12 (rain date Sat 8/4)
Time: Meet at Duke by 11:00 AM; Arrive at Howell at 4:00 pm

Where: Duke Island Park, 191 Old York Rd, Bridgewater, NJ 08807

Yeah I had fun. The meet and cruise thing was good. We just have to make sure they have a spot for us so we can kinda park together.

I will keep Josh in mind. At the moment I am not going to think about it but I will explore all my options

[coolmanvette75]

Your car has to be fun on the back roads.

Same. Great talking with you.

And Glen (Glenn?) if you are out there that was a heck of a second gen you had. Thanks for stopping in. And I remembered the prime example of "incorrect restoration features that become so common people start believing they are correct"

I bet 9 out of every 10 people at a cruise night would think that there is nothing wrong with the paint job.

It does handle decently well for what it is. I took some GoPro footage so I will see how it came out. Might be kinda boring.

[KevinW]

Bill, you are SO right! I had to tell a proud owner of a 69 Z/28 at Howell that he had a FORD sticker on his car "caution fan" :D

Met up with a orange 69 BB coupe owner there and the next day my neighbor brought over ANOTHER guy restoring an orange 69 BB coupe. Its like they are coming out of the weeds! :)
