Mustangs Unlimited Spring Show 4/29/07

[Hissing Cobra]

O.K. guys and gals. Spring will HOPEFULLY arrive by April 29th, as Mustangs Unlimited in Manchester, Connecticut is having their annual Shelby Mustang Meet. All Mustangs of all years are invited. Who's going? Let's get a caravan going!

I tried to link their flyer, but it's not working. Here's what I copied from their site.

Shelby, Cobra, Mustang, Ford, and Ford Power Meet 2007
Brought to you by Shelby American Automobile Club New England & Mustangs Unlimited
April 29th (Rain Date: May 6th)

[rafiki47]

Pete,
Im in! I should have my car back together tomorrow.

BTW - I am a friend of Jeff. I went the the New England Tech show last summer but never ended up meeting you.

[Mr Joshua]

oh i'd love to go.. it would be a real tight timeline to make that
too close for me i think :(

I don't know this guy at all, he is just a stalker. ;)



I think I'm in?!?!?
I have to check with the Mrs. when she gets up,
the end of the April/beginning of May is VERY busy.
Birthday for my son, and 1st communion for my other son.
Let me check these dates.

Pete,
Should I make a email from our people list?

Is this strictly MUSTANG ? or are Capri's allowed?

Jeff

[BAD5oh]

I may be in for this. If so I'll let you guys know and maybe we can set up a spot to meet up and drive together

[CapriGT]

Is this strictly MUSTANG ? or are Capri's allowed?

Jeff

Judging by the name of the event I'd assume Capris are welcome.

[mustang4life1985]

I'm definitely in for this one. Just let me know what time/place to meet?

[Hissing Cobra]

Yeah, let's get a caravan of Fox Bodies going down the highway. I'm not too sure about Capris, I'll call Mustangs Unlimited to find out and then I'll post back here. As for meeting up on the highway someplace, we could do that. I will be leaving my house at 6:00 a.m. and I have to drive up Route 495 and then take the Mass Pike out to Route 84. There will be a lot of towns that we'll be driving through so if anyone is on the way or near these highways, let us know and we can pull of to meet you. I have to go right through Bellingham, so those of you who live near there, we could meet up with you at the Home Depot at around 7:00 a.m.?

[capriman86]

As Ken noted, it does say FORD powered, but do check on it bud.

cooool

[Hissing Cobra]

I just called Mustangs Unlimited and they're closed. I'll have to call tomorrow when they reopen. I'll keep you guys posted.

[capriman86]

Keep calling, maybe they will open for your call. I have a feeling.




I could be wrong though

[capriman86]

I'm out
Bowling Birthday Party booked already for my son, deposit is set, invites are out.

This really sucks :mad: I wanted to go to this.

[gmars302]

I think I am going to go. I am not bringing the ride because I am not going to register it until I swap the tranny and rear end. I do plan on bringing it to the show in June. I am looking forward to meeting some of the northeast guys and checking out your rides.

[Mr Joshua]

now i'm going to get the car ready on purpose and go, just so you can't see it... :eek:

[rafiki47]

Capriman can take pics of us cruising down the highway, since he is not going!

[mustang4life1985]

I have to go right through Bellingham, so those of you who live near there, we could meet up with you at the Home Depot at around 7:00 a.m.?

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll see you there at 7:00 a.m.

Steve, do you want to meet us at the Home Depot as well?

[capriman86]

Capriman can take pics of us cruising down the highway, since he is not going!

I will throw tar all down the highway to dirty your new wheels

[rafiki47]

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll see you there at 7:00 a.m.

Steve, do you want to meet us at the Home Depot as well?


Paul sounds good! I wanna be in Jeff's pics as we cruise by him :)

[mustang4life1985]

Ok Steve, that sounds good. Now you both are going back and forth lol...

The new wheels look awesome! Just bring some cleaner with you at all times. If you keep up with the white, they are easy to clean.

[capriman86]

Just bring some cleaner with you at all times.

emphasis on the TAR :D

[slickshift]

Sweet
I have a gig in Connecticut on the 28th
Looks like I'm staying over and taking the long way home on Sunday
I'll have a van full of band equipment in the parking lot if any of you guys want to jam
:evl:

[rafiki47]

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll see you there at 7:00 a.m.

Steve, do you want to meet us at the Home Depot as well?

Yes i will meet you guys there at 7 am

[capriman86]

Pete I will generate an email tonight to all the people on our list pointing them to this thread....I am really bummed out I can't make this.:(

[Hissing Cobra]

Yeah, I'm bummed out too. Don't worry, there's two more down there this year, two more in Rhode Island (Tasca), the Summer Nationals and Fun Ford Weekend. There's plenty more comin' up.

[capriman86]

Steve, Paul and I plan to come down to the Bourne Cruise once they start up.
I will call you when I know we can all go....


still bummed

[Hissing Cobra]

That sounds cool. I don't think they start those Bourne cruise nights until school gets out in late June. They will then go on until school starts in September. I'll keep you guys posted.

I'd also like to come up to some of your cruises too. Don't you guys meet up at an A&W stand or something?

We have A&W on Tuesday's
And a new one in Uxbridge MA that is 10 min from me at Bangma's (<--Yes) Dairy on Friday nights.

I will start a new thread at some point listing the local ones. ;)

ohh and Im still bummed

[JTurbo]

Can't make this one, I'll be out of town. Take some good pics for the rest of us! Definetly see you guys at the June MU event or at Carlisle Ford Nats.

Hey Pete, I was also telling Jeff and Steve about the Sunday afternoon cruises at Seekonk in the Sam's Club Parking lot. I believe you have gone to that show before and they are usually a good turnout for a Sunday afternoon. Plenty of room to park a few 4 eyes together.:cool:

[Hissing Cobra]

Yup, I've been to that one too. What's cool about that one is that it's on a Sunday. I take my time getting there and just hang out. I hope it's going to be a great summer!

[mustang4life1985]

Yeah, it is at a perfect time too. Usually a good turnout and I like that I don't have to rush to get there. There is always plenty of room.

[capriman86]

I have sent out an email to this thread just now.
It was sent to everyone on our list here
http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthread.php?t=39475

If someone hasn't gotten on the list and wants to , hit that link above!

[slickshift]

Hey, got the e-mail

I still plan on stopping by Sunday in the Fluid Boys Mystery Machine (the van full of band equipment with the Four-Eyed Pride license plate frames) on my way Cape-ward

Hope to see you guys there

[Hissing Cobra]

Cool! Stop by and introduce yourself!

[slickshift]

Cool! Stop by and introduce yourself!
How will I know which car is yours?

[dime_store_pony]

I'm on the fence....I'm supposed to go to a confirmation party for one of my sons friends, so I have to talk it over with them...I'll let you guys know by mid week.
PETE<<<< If I can pull it off I'll meet you at one of the Norton exits on 495
later

[Hissing Cobra]

Sounds good to me. I'll be leaving here at 6:00 and I anticipate my arrival at the Norton exit 10 at around 6:30 or so. Let me know if you want me to pull off and meet you. As we get closer, I'll give you guys my cell phone number so that we can call each other if someone is running late.

[fredzilla]

I'll touch base with you guy's on this, later in the week.

Anybody from the north heading down that way ?

[dime_store_pony]

roger that

[rafiki47]

What is the planned route for this trip?

[Hissing Cobra]

What is the planned route for this trip?

Our route is always the same. We take Route 495 to the Mass Pike and then follow the Pike down to Route 84. We then follow Route 84 down to exit 62 and we're there.

I leave my house at 6:00 a.m. and can meet everyone at 7:00 a.m. sharp at Exit 18 on Route 495 (Home Depot Parking Lot). Dime Store, I can meet you at Exit 10 on Route 495 if you'd like and I should be arriving at that exit at around 6:30 - 6:40 a.m.
The reason why we leave early is because it allows us to pick better parking spaces for our cars before they run out and have to park cars in the middle of the aisles. This show doesn't draw the amount of cars that the MCCNE show in June or their Fall show does, but it's still a good show.

If anyone needs my cell phone number, PM me and I'll let you have it.

Thanks,

[mustang4life1985]

This route seems pretty straight forward and will definitely be a good cruise. I'm glad that we will be able to park our cars together. How much does it cost to enter the car in the show? I hope that I didn't have to pre-register. Things have been extremely busy this past week and a half.

Fred, are you going too?

[Hissing Cobra]

Yeah, it's a nice cruise. Coming back on Sunday afternoon-early evening will be a chore though, as both Route 84 and the Mass Pike will be crazy. Even though it's a Sunday, those two highways are packed in the late afternoon and there's always crazy drivers switching lanes and stuff. It'll be much harder for us to stay together as a group on the way home.

As for pre-registration, it's not needed. I've been to many of those shows (3 with my car) and I've never had to pre-register.

Fred, I hope you're going too. We can meet up with you on the Pike.

I know what that traffic is like on a Sunday. I've been on 84 on plenty of Sundays just sitting at the toll booth traffic. You are also right about people weaving in out of lanes there. Some crazy drivers that's for sure.

I hope you can go Fred, so I can see that awesome car of yours:) .

[rafiki47]

7 AM cant wait !


Jeff you going? :)

[capriman86]

7 AM cant wait !


Jeff you going? :)


That just hurts man...:mad:

you better bring that new damn camera you bought

[Hissing Cobra]

Jeff, it's too bad that you don't have a twin like me. Then you could send him to the party as your double, while you're enjoying the cruise. He, he, he.

[rafiki47]

That just hurts man...:mad:

you better bring that new damn camera you bought

I WILL TAKE A TON OF PICS FOR YOU!

[Hissing Cobra]

O.K. guys, tomorrow is supposed to be a mix of sun and clouds, with a possible shower here and there. Under those conditions, I'M STILL GOING! The chance of rain is slim. I'm leaving at 6:00 a.m., meeting my brother and a customer of mine (he's got a '99 GT with a ProCharger on it) at 6:20-6:30ish at Exit 5 (Middleboro Rotary) off of Route 495 and then we'll cruise on up to Exit 18 (Bellingham Home Depot) where we will meet up with you guys. We should be there around 7:00 a.m. Everyone PLEASE be on time. If you're running late, please call me on my cell phone at 339-933-2675. Who's definitely in?

Fredzilla? Dave and Fred, If you want us to meet you somewhere on Route 495 or the Mass Pike, just let me know.
CapriGT?
Dime store pony? - If you want us to meet up with you, we can. I estimate that we should be rolling through Norton at around 6:40 or so. Let me know

[capriman86]

Sent out a last minute roll call for ya Pete via emails.

[Hissing Cobra]

Thanks a bunch. Sorry that you're not going.:(

[rafiki47]

Ill be there before 7 AM

[fredzilla]

I will not be able to join up with you guys for this show. :(
But, I will be ready for the next one.

[capriman86]

Ya Fred we have to make it for the next one.....

The weather doesn't look so promising for tomorrow though.....
Wonder if they will cancel and go with next weeks rain date??

[Hissing Cobra]

Don't worry guys, there will be many more this season. I've got the news on right now and I'm waiting for the weather. I hope it's not cancelled.

[d-stash]

anyone know if its still on?My capri is in the middle of buildup,but i would love to tag along in my new edge GT!

[mustang4life1985]

Are they rescheduling the show due to the weather?

[Hissing Cobra]

I'm not sure if it's cancelled or not. I just called their number and there's nothing on their answering machine to indicate that it's been cancelled. In fact, there wasn't even a mention of today's show. I just checked the weather and the "expert" said that we have a 30% chance of showers today but for the most part, it should be cloudy and overcast. I guess I'll risk it.

[fredzilla]

So,how was the show ? Anyone get any pics ?
Atleast the rained held off for guys.

[capriman86]

Ya what about us?

[rafiki47]

Heres a couple. I will show more tomorrow.

Wow great pics
I didn't get off shore till 1:30...I figured it'd be too late by the time I got up there
I'm 1/2 surprised they didn't raindate it, I had a few showers
Looks like it went OK though
Great pics!!!

[mustang4life1985]

Hey Tim,

Here is a pic that Steve got of your car on the highway. It is the only one that I have so far.
