Mopars at the Strip 2008 Vegas 28-30 March NOW WITH PICS !

[Adam]

Just for info, we've switched our reservation to the Best Western Nellis Motor Inn. Fair bit cheaper than the Comfort Inn, which was $180 for the Sunday night, for some reason. Still on the same road as the Cannery etc.

[RobTwin]

So who's definitely going? ie got something booked?

Dean Bailey (not on this mb, but a long-time Mopar owner) tells me he'll be there, and is up for any get-togethers we arrange.

1. Me & family
2. Adam & Carolyn
3. Dean Bailey
4. ?

We're out there for the week before the M.A.T.S. and will be staying in the LA area, so we're going to join in with the MoPower Cruise from Glendora Dodge to Vegas on Thurs 27th arriving at The Cannery at 7pm ish.
Yeah, I know we'll be in a rental but I checked with the organiser and he said they'd be glad to have us along for the cruise. So there

He said 15 have signed up for it so far (hope they're not rentals too ) but numbers will grow as the date gets nearer.

So, anyone else?

yep, like each other years before, i will be there for sure, this is one of the coolest mopar meetings!!!

It is a shame that they changed the dates last year for the Spring Fling, otherwise you can have 2 moparmeetings in 10 days.

The spring fling was a nice small mopar meeting at CA

Might be worth a butchers?

[Adam]

Yep, that's what we plan to do on the Monday morning before we fly home

[RobTwin]

OOOH looks good!

I might join you on the Monday Adam if the missus (mine, not yours) can stand a 4th consecutive day of car stuff

By the way, are we sticking with the proposed 12 noon meet at the MP trailer, and was that for each of the 3 days (Fri, Sat, Sun)?
Trying to arrange a meet with some other 62-65 Mopar owners, thought we may as well meet at the same time & place.

[Adam]

Yeah, let's have a standing arrangement for anyone that wants to meet on all 3 days at 12 Noon at the MP trailer. No obligations - only if folk want to. Wear MMA T shirts and a rolled up copy of the Sunday Times. Then we can decide where to meet in the evenings - sounds like the Cannery is the place to be.

Rob, Shelby tours are 10.30am each week day. No reservations, just turn up.

Unfortunately there is a chance that we may not be able make it, due to a poorly parent, but I'll post here if we have to cancel the trip.
