I'm trying to see if I can get out of work now. It's the week after the Nats so that might be tough.

Ron

Sweet T · July 16, 2006, 10:34:30 PM

I Just hope my new driveshaft is ready and the car is still running.

Shakey · July 17, 2006, 07:12:06 AM

I plan on going also however my Wife is due to give birth right around that time so it's all up in the air.

I had a great time last year and met up with Dodge Don, Ron (firefighter3931) and Rob (Kamcuda). We got outta the sun, had a few beers and a bunch of laughs.

Don's idea of trying to hook up is a good one. We chose the NW corner of the beer tent at noon last year on the Saturday.

Any other ideas or suggestions?

Troy · July 17, 2006, 04:12:49 PM

Ok, I'm going! Now I just need to find a place to stay - any suggestions?

There is a Holiday Inn in Kitchener, ON - about 25km away.

There are also a few others listed on the Moparfest website.

Glad to hear you're coming. Hopefully I'll see you on Saturday. First 6 beers are on me!

Sweet T · July 17, 2006, 09:07:24 PM

Shakey is that 6 beers for each of us?

71_deputy · July 18, 2006, 10:27:25 AM

greatwn73 · August 11, 2006, 07:55:36 PM

The car is still running and going to a show about 50 miles away tomorrow so if stays in one piece I'll be good to go.

Troy if you need a room we might have an extra in Kitchener Comfort Inn ,let me know.

Woohoo! That's right, I still haven't booked a room. I like surprises...

dodge freak · August 12, 2006, 09:25:46 AM

I am planing on stopping by for a few hours on my way to Toronto ,on the 19th, just found out about it last night, so I am looking at my maps right now. Looks like a short drive up the 401, just head north for no more than a half an hour.

Edit: The site says to take 59 north to highway 7/8 to peel st. Sounds easy enough, 4 hours from Detroit, that stinks won't get there till 2-4 pm but it still should be going strong but all the good buys in parts might be gone by then.

y3chargerrt · August 12, 2006, 12:54:22 PM

Does Moparfest have a good swap meet?

Sweet T · August 12, 2006, 07:18:38 PM

Yeah they have a pretty good size swap meet. I thought a lot of the stuff looked like junk last year but I guess it depends what you are looking for.
See everyone there. 7 more days!!
Todd

greatwn73 · August 14, 2006, 10:11:32 AM

So are we meeting at the beer tent then (Sat. noon)

Big Sugar · August 14, 2006, 03:49:51 PM

I should be able to be there. I'm shooting for Saturday.

Ron

Dodge Don · August 17, 2006, 03:18:15 PM

Shakey and I will be there Saturday.

y3chargerrt · August 17, 2006, 04:10:14 PM

Who will be there on sunday? I'm doing the dream cruise friday and saturday.

greatwn73 · August 17, 2006, 08:59:26 PM

The car is washed, waxed and packed hope to get down there by 2 tomorrow but will go to the show sat. and sunday. Hope to meet some of you there.

Bullit_68 · August 18, 2006, 04:21:28 AM

I,ll be there Saturday and Sunday i live pretty close.My Charger isn,t even close to being ready but i,ll be there looking for parts and checking out the cars i,ll probably see some of you guys there.

Dodge Don · August 19, 2006, 04:34:15 PM

Saturday noon....only folks that showed up were Dodge Don, Spike, Shakey and Troy.

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun

Johnnys440Charger · August 19, 2006, 08:03:48 PM

It started raining @ about 1pm. Darn!
I went home. Did anybody here stay late? Did the weather clear up?

Sweet T · August 20, 2006, 07:16:27 AM

I heard about you guys, I don't think they are going to let you guys in next year. I'm probably going back up on Sunday (today) for a few hours. Too bad there was so much rain. I had a good time though. Ends up BIG SUGAR pulled in right behind me and was only about three or so cars over. Other than that where was everyone else hiding?

It was a blast!

We met up at noon had a few beers and it all got pretty wild after that.

I got so drunk I crawled under the table, threw up all over myself and passed out.

Troy was standing on the table, air fiddlin'

once "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" came over the stereo system. He then got caught by the Kinsmen Security

for trying to steal a couple of burgers and some fries.

All the while, Spike was sitting at the table talking to himself and throwing empty beer bottles over his shoulder (kinda like the bride throws her bouquet at the reception) into the crowd and yelling "bonzai" as he threw each one.

Dodge Don punched out a 62 year old obese French lady cause she looked at him the wrong way and when he asked her "what's your problem" she couldn't answer in English.

Looking forward to next year! Who's in?

Dodge Don · August 20, 2006, 08:20:34 AM

I must have been at another car show

That one sounds like a Chevy show

Sorry we didn't get a chance to hook up Todd, I did go over to the Beer pvilion at noon but didn't really see a gathering and the only face I could put a handle on was Ron (Firefighter) and I didn't see him either.
Any how great turnout for a miserable Saturday in the Rain. A lot of very nice Mopars !!!
Did anyone Go to the Cruise afterwards ? they had another 360 Crate they were giving away to participants, Odd are, not many people,.... toooo wet !

Anyway Good time regardless of the weather .

Ron

greatwn73 · August 21, 2006, 08:51:47 AM

I went to the beer tent at noon but didn't meet up with anyone, did go to the cruise Sat. night and watched them lightup a new viper(pictures later). Troy came and found me Sat. night at my hotel and we had a few beers and then hooked up Sunday afternoon. Next year we should meet at a car and do the introductions and then get the beer.

ps Troy , nice to meet you and looking forward to seeing you again.

Sweet T · August 21, 2006, 12:26:57 PM

Yeah, I didn't realize we were meeting in the beer tent at noon. If it was the tent they were serving beer and food in (not the one) by the grand stand than I was probably in there at the same time as everyone. That would be funny. I was going through my pictures, I took one of my Charger as soon as I got there and got Ron in the picture putting his sign infront of his car. LOL. 73 I found your car on Sunday, I was a row and a half behind you. I kept an eye out in that direction but never saw ya come back. Next year I'm gonna meet someone from the site.

Troy · August 21, 2006, 03:36:20 PM

I stayed until 9 PM Saturday because the defroster in the Barracuda sucks in the rain - meaning it doesn't defog/defrost so much but the heat sure comes out good! I had some dinner and waited until the rain stopped before heading back to Kitchener where I managed to find greatwn73. It seems that one of the problems with meeting at the beer tent is that there are two beer tents. Sorry I didn't get to meet more people but I really enjoyed myself and I'll try to go again next year.

I'll post a few pics later on.

Troy

BrianShaughnessy · August 21, 2006, 08:00:32 PM

Thanks for all the pics.. looks like a great time!

charger_lady · August 28, 2006, 06:55:12 PM

Well, we were there on Sunday and the rain held out...the sun even made a brief appearance throughout the day!
I almost didn't get any pics...left our camera at home with a dead battery! So I bought a disposible camera at the show!!
Didn't get a chance to meet up with anyone from this site...maybe next year

Here's my pics...

We know this guy...he had just bought this white 68 Charger from Calgary a few weeks ago and drove it back here to Ontario...he's kinda secretive about what he paid...but I found out

My boys with the General...they knew it was a 68 clone

I found this pic of our Charger on the moparfest site...

We had a great time...(50/50 was $5200 for the winner on Sunday)...I can't believe that we have never been but guaranteed we'll be going every year now!!

Sweet T · August 29, 2006, 04:01:01 AM

Hey I made your pictures. A few shots up from the 68 General.....and I thought no one saw me.
