Default Spring Planning

Eight more weeks to Spring! Anyone else waiting to get their Frostfires out? Would like to get some ideas for a Spring Fling and breakout. Maybe we can hit up a new area of New England this Spring...Salem Mass, Plymouth ? Anyone familiar wit southern NH or Central Mass areas?

The shop I have my work done at would like to know if we would like to do a little show/dyno day.

Crispy is talking about a car show in New York in May. It would be great if we could get a strong NEX showing for this event. I will get the details and post them here ASAP.
On another note, there is a show up in New Brunswick, Canada on the 8th to the 11th of June....this one is huge, in Moncton. It is a bit of a drive and I need to get people involved, this is a very large show that is going to be big fun. I guess it's like a carnival or something along with a fair and all kinds of stuff for the whole family. Let me know if you are inetrested. I do know that we drive Crossfires and that they don't hold a whole family...

That sounds like a good idea, can you get some more info so we can try to plan something?

I already made a promise to attend, perhaps we can ride up together after a meetup in your area? Anyone else want to chime in? NEX Folks available to start off the season? Bruce, Stan, Robbie, Phil? If I left someone out it's only because of my short memnory span....

Just rub it in pal.

Snow and ice again here in St Louis.

But you all can come up here next June for the CAA. I promise the event will be HOT!

We get that feeling of being behind a wheel of a new car every spring, you don't.

Crossfire Tail, Crossfirefun and Blackxfire. After reading Green Ghost post I realized we never did a northern New England Cruise. Do you think we could scare up interest in a VT or NH run? VT doesn't have public nudity laws so a mid-summer skinny dip could work and plenty of farms too. I am very familiar with VT & NH backroads I believe Casper is too. I'd be willing to work with him if there's an interest.

I was watching New England News Channel...I wondered why the VT legislature was calling and emrgency session for the first time since the Battle of Hubbardton.
