Are you going to try to make it this year?

Are you going to try to make it this year?

Yeppers, unless I run out of Money :lol:

Cool, would be a neet trip for Naomi and I if we could ditch the extras.

Y'all need to come on down! We need to schedule a meet, I've been meeting members here and there but no real get together.

You gonna host us Krue?

I'll be back for this year's show! I have meetings at our office in Baltimore during that week, but I will be down Friday afternoon for the weekend. That show is always a blast.

I'll be there again this year, but this time i'll be cruisin the beast along the coast. I'm getting pumped up already. Been working on the truck like a madman lately ! Vacation time has already been scheduled and approved !!!

Yep...I'll be there. I hope to take the entire week off again, if work permits. It's MY vacation week :D

Who knows, maybe the 70 will run by then.

I'm going to try to make it with my truck also. I've never been, but it sounds like a blast.

I've never been, hopefully I'll make it this year!!

Was talking to a customer in the store the other day about Cruisin the Coast. It got me all gassed up and ready to attend. I guess we'll see.

How,exactly,does this thing work?I was in Pensacola last year that week,but I didn`t know where to go.I mean do events migrate around the circuit?Is it just generally hap`nin` everywhere all week?How far east and how far west?Could someone explain to a simpletim how it is in general??

Special K, It's a Mississippi Coast event. Just a week long even of different towns/casinos/clubs having things to do in cars. Some folks will just drive back and forth every day from LA and P-cola, others stay here. The main days are Friday and Saturday (5th & 6th of Oct). I think the swap meet sets up on Wednesday. Check out their site as it gets closer to see what all the different shows and events will be.

Unfortunately I won't have the entire week off this year. But I'll be there Friday and Saturday for sure. I'm hoping to squeeze in Thursday to. We'll have to try a better eat thing this year. Should be more restraunts available. See how many board members we can cram into one place.

Thanks!Yeah,the ghosts of Katrina are a lingerin`.I guess it`s gettin`better all the time.

You gonna host us Krue?

:fb:

Luv, Krue ain't on the coast, he in da sticks north of I10!! :D

If he's less than an hour away he's close enough :hm:

It's about an hour and ten minutes.:lol:

Close enough

:agree:

Yeah, but fer enough to keep the neighborhood safe :haha:

Yeah, no displaced yankees in my neck of the woods.:D

Vacation time is already scheduled! Several local guys have been the last couple of years and LOVED it. I headed towards there last year, but a leaky rearend (on the truck) caused an abort of the trip. New axles, seals, gears and posi fixed the problem.

Hope you and a bunch of others can make it. Always look forward to meeting new board members.

:agree:

I just confirmed my hotel reservations! I am looking forward to it already!

It's about time to blow the dust off of this old thread. I just made my reservations at the Isle of Capri in Biloxi, as did a couple more La. board members. I'm ready!

Hugger, sorry for not getting back to you. I could never find the guy and what hotel he managed. Isle of Capri is good location and lots of folks be there for the Crusin.

I'll be there, but only Friday and Saturday this year. I have to work :( the rest of the week.

It NOW conflicts w/ yet another cruise we are going on, sad to say I started
this thread and now I won't even be going. On the bright side it gives me yet
another year to prepare a vehicle to take down there, maybe 08 is the year!

Yeah, yeah, excuses, excuses.:lol:

Still want to try to make this. Just need to get my butt in gear.

Pardon the ignorance but when is this cruise gonna take place?

There's a link on the first page of this post. I believe it's Sep 30-Oct 6.

Bring it closer to where we are at.

http://www.cruisinthecoast.com/

The main days are Oct 4, 5 & 6 (Thursday, Friday & Saturday).

Come on over!

I FINALLY live near a major event! Of course, I own an 87 now, so I can't participate...:rolleyes:

So come on over anyways. You can just droll like the rest of us do. :D

We need to organize a eat-n-greet or something somewhere. Know any good places Palf?

There is a couple places depending on what you wan to eat, just most are real crowded in the evenings, especially during crusin. Normally we'll have to try for later, so that Tim Christian can close up shop and join us.

We'll see what we can dig up.

Whats this I hear bout some peoples cruzin from LA to Pcola?

Oh, Yeah, It's getting closer by the minute !! Glad too see some new faces will make this years event.

Myself, i'll be heading there on Tuesday and leaving probably early Sunday morning being my two sons have football games on Sunday.

The eat-n-greet that Wynne mentioned sounds Great ! Late in the evening would be the ticket, as Bill mentioned, so that Tim could also attend !

Bill can probably come up with more ideas on places to eat than i can. Here are some ideas to kick around...

Casino Buffets.... long wait times( well of course we can drink beer in line while waiting) and average $15- $23 per person

Hard Rock Cafe' & Casino has just recently opened ! Am i correct on this , Bill ???

I also know of a place called Catfish Charlies which is a few miles north of I-10 in the Gulfport area. Haven't been there in probably 10 years, but i understand it is still open and the fish is just as good as ever. Yes, you can get LOUD and Rowdy in here but the downside is that it's just... All You Can Eat Fried Catfish and hushpuppies !! ( I think they also added Fried Chicken Tenders to the menu as well ) While i dont have a problem with that, other members may. So if anyone else would like to throw in some more suggestions.. Me can all kick 'em around and try to come up with a plan.

Peace

Fish is great with me, but we may want more variety for everyone. Yall name the place and time and we'll be there.

Y'all that have seen me know I'll eat anything that's doesn't fight back too hard.:lol:

Here's an idea to toss around...
Find a good Mom-n-Pop place that has a good variety of good food. Did I mention good food?:hm: Approach them now about working out a deal. Maybe a percentage off the total bill in exchange for a butt-ton of truckers eating all their food. Maybe we can even get reserved parking. Something off the main drag is preferable. That way they will be more inclined to work a deal since most tourists will stay near the main roads. The right salesperson could make it happen. Preferably an individual of "healthy" girth to help them see we will eat a lot; and someone with a nice classic ride to help them see that we are bringing some eye candy to draw in others.:D
:bsf: wow...I oughta sell used cars! :sexy:

:lol:

After my trouble free trip to BOSS's in MO and a nice trip to Fredricksburg a couple of weeks ago, it was right at 2,000 mi of "cruisin' pleasure". I'm SO ready for "Cruisin' the Coast". Mentioned earlier post, reservations are already done!

I'll be there, thats for sure!

Yep, the Hard Rock casino is now open as is the Bay St. Louis bridge. Things are normalizing here on the coast, should be a great event.

Thought this thread needed a lil bump! Cruisin' time is growing nearer.

Maybe we all should all just meet up in a certain parking lot somewhere along the strip...say like on Friday night at 8 or 9 o'clock. Since nobody knows where to eat, & getting in a good restuarant with a large group is not very likely without an hour plus wait. That way we could at least check out each others rides.

I know a group of us will meet at the swapmeet Saturday morning at the coliseum. As far as I know I'm free Fri, Sat and Sun.

I have not had much time to look into much of anything this year. Most of the eating joints don't take reservation on Friday & Saturday nights. There is plenty of places we could probably invade in Biloxi and Gulfport areas. I am not too sure about the other towns across the bays.

I only have Friday off this year instead of the whole week. I have a luncheon with my son that daym, but other than that I am crusin Friday and Saturday. Figure most of us will hit the swap meet area. If Tim Christian is there we came use his spot as a meeting area, if not we can use Kenny's Trucks. Both are in about the same area.

I am free to eat Friday and Saturday....that way I don't have to do dishes at home. :)

Not the best plan, but we'll wing it. It covers such a large area, we may not even see some folks if they stay at one of the outer bay towns.

When it gets closer you folks coming in can PM me and I'll give you my cell phone number and we can see what goes from there. I am looking forward to meeting some of the new faces in MS, LA, heck from anywhere and meeting up with those of you from last year.


Heck I didn't know Sturgus was in MS, always thought it was SD. ;)

About 2 weeks away now, cant wait!!

Theres a GREAT Cuban resturant in Waveland on hwy 90, may not be too crowded since its still a local secret. Just an idea...

How about everybody meet at Tim Christian's vendor trailer at 12 noon on friday, and we can make eating plans then? If it turns out that Tim isn't there, we'll meet at Kenny's. Hopefully we can all get together and eat friday night or something. Does that work for everybody? Anybody? :)

Haven't heard whether Tim is gonna make it or not.

Tim's not going to make it. I talked to him a few weeks ago about it. Told him I'd tag along with him and help him, but he told me he's got too much going on.

Hey Guys, Sorry but I cannot make it this year. With the passing of my father and some health issues my wife is having there is just no possible way. Tim

We'll miss you Tim. Take care of the family!!!

:agree: What he said.

Tim, sorry to hear about your fathers passing. I was just fixing to PM you about this years event when i came across your post. Take care of the wife and we'll hopefully catch you at next year's cruise.

Friday night or Sat afternoon sounds good. Anyone live nearby? We could take the cheap route if nothing else and meet at someone's house for a BBQ. Or maybe an RV park. There's a nice one near Biloxi with lots of open space (a few years ago), I just hafta remember the name...

i'm planning on being there, so you guys look out for me....i wanna try to head out and make it there early on Friday morning...not sure which i'll be doing yet (swap meet/show n shines), but my plan is for one or the other...i gotta advertise my truck that's 4-sale...so, if you see me, say hi....btw, this is my truck in case you see me:
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v602/likaroc13/

Several members here, and from the Louisiana classic truck club plan to meet at Kenny's trailer (swap meet- Mississippi Coast Coliseum - Biloxi) at noon on friday. Yall come by and visit if you can.

Sounds good to me ! I'll be there ! Thanks, Wynne :) Looking forward to seeing everyone !!!!

I'll be the3re sometime too. Might be a little later than 12:00, but I'll be there Friday.

That's good for me, I gotta watch the boys play football Saturday, so I won't make it that day, unless it's late. Friday and Sunday are both good for me.

I hear 'ya ! My boys are playing football on Sunday at noon. Then, it's looking like i may be taking a 5 pm flight out to Wisconsin. (work related) Sooo.. looks like i'll be heading home around 6 ish AM. Gonna be a long day ! I'm heading out there Wednesday morning, so i should have plenty time with 4 days.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!!:gi:

Exactly how many board members are planning to attend ???

At least 5 from La. that I know of, and possibly more. :cool:

My plan is to do a day trip on Friday or Saturday. Lookin' forward to seein' y'all there.

Sounds like a lot of fun, hopefully our new propane truck is ready for pickup in AR then I could attend the festivities that weekend. It is doubtful as the anticipated pickup date is mid month, but hey I can dream.

I'll be at the Sunday Sept. 30th gathering at Choice grocery store and Jones Park. Then the parade Monday in Long Beach, possibly the Biloxi block party Wednesday. Friday and Saturday I'll be around after 3pm...holla at me if you see a bright orange 1972 c/10!! Looking forward to seeing ya'll there!

Gonna be arriving late afternoon of the 1st. Brothers coming in from GA and were staying in Diberville. We'll get a plan of attack once we hookup. Wed. evening the rest of the Pickupsnpanels group from N. Texas is suppose to arrive. Trucks ready, my vacation attitude is definitly ready! If it's a PINK '67, it's probably me!:)

Anyone coming on in, you can PM me if you want and I'll give you my cell #. I'll be at the first event this Sunday, Sep 30, but am pretty much out of it till Friday afternoon and Saturday (Oct 5 & 6).

Be looking forward to seeing many of you Friday and Saturday.

Bill, where were you? I was parked at Jones Park most of the day. Saw lots of chevy trucks. Any other members down here already?

I'll be at the parade in Long Beach tomorrow.

I am off Monday and Tuesday. My meetings in Baltimore got changed to next week. I may ride down early in the week and then back again on Friday for the weekend. I have to clean up the '71 on Monday. It has not even been washed since the last time I showed it, in early April.

Bill, thanks for keeping us posted with all the pics from today!

See you all down there!
