Just wondering if anybody was going to meet up in the Southern California area to have a huge car cruise up to Vegas for MATS. I haven't heard of anything yet, so maybe we can get something setup. We have a little over 2 months. Might as well plan a head!! Who is all interested!!!  :D

Absolutely. I plan to meet up with the tour out of Los Angeles, at the Flying J in Barstow at 3:00 pm March 25th (http://www.moparsatthestrip.com/2007/mopower_cruse.shtml), with a few others in the NorCal convoy. As the date gets closer I'm sure we'll confirm the meet. Oh, good times, they are ahead!

I am not to sure how many cars! I never actually get the chance to meet up that is why I made this post. Trying to find out when and where everyone is meeting!  Hive_Mind and myself will be riding in his 69 Superbee and my wife will be driving our 2006 Dodge 2500 (gotta have the tools). Just let us know when your leaving and what your driving? We can get a list together and contacts and meet up for a great cruise to Vegas!! :cheers:

Hmm, I guess 6 threads up is too far to look for this same information.  :rofl:  Just kidding, of course. As mentioned prior, a bunch of us from Nor Cal will try to meet up at the Flying J at 3:00 pm on that Thursday for the cruise into Vegas. And there should be a tent (with a DC.COM banner, right Chuck? :scratchchin: ) to congregate under during the day(s) activities. Party at Vegas Mikes house in the evening. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,62702.msg739388.html#msg739388.

It should be a memorable weekend, worth at least a few thousand photos....  :icon_smile_wink:

:scratchchin:   We need to talk to Troy about that one.   If he has one we will put it up.  In case we can't get a DC.com banner, just look for the naked people under the canopy... :icon_smile_wink:
