"Drive-N-Eat" At the Jackson Out Let Mall Car Show. 5-28-2010 Another great time. We had to move from our traditional spot in front of the Disney store because it was so crowded over there. Now we are down by the Reebok Store where there is a little more room and we don't have to jostle for parking. I believe I counted 10 MINIs with a few having to leave early and a few arriving later. And of course we had the appearance of "Bitsy" the Smart car, thank you Ed and Dorthy and the unveiling of Paul's Volvo C30. What a sweet ride that is . Also, out for the evening was a couple of Triumph TR-6 s from the 6-pack Triumph Club. Our friend MR Jim is also a member of that group and invited them out to play for the evening. Seems as though we are starting a 'British Invasion" on the fringes. Ian, where is your MG? And as an added bonus, when we left for "Eats" we all lined up and paraded right down the middle of the show with a lot of comments coming from the assembled crowd. If anything will put a smile on a face, it's a string of MINIs cruising down the avenue. After a tour of the local country side and an additional bonus tour of MINIME2007's neighborhood, we headed for Anthony's. Where we had a chance to sit back and relax and catch-up with old friends and meet some new ones. We had a short sldeshow of pictures from MOTD8 and discussed possible drives and events for the rest of the summer. One suggestion was a "North" meets "South" meets "Central" Jersey G2G. Also up on the dashboard for discussion was the "Tee Shirt" Project. We have decided on the final design and are getting ready to place an order. For those of you who are interested please PM me with your email address. I will be getting out an order form shortly. Keep an eye on this thread for details about next month. We are on the hunt for a change in "eateries" so has to give our hosts at Anthony's, Chris and Jenn, a chance to sit down and catch their breath. If you have a suggestion send me a PM. Mark your calender for June 25th.
Had a great time as usual - love going to Anthony's, but I agree that Chris & Jen deserve a break! I'll keep thinking about alternatives...
August 27th Come on out on August 27th. That is the next Jackson Outlet Mall Car Show, Jackson, New Jersey. Plan to be there, we start gathering around 6:00-6:30 and stay till around 8:00-8:30. Come on out and see the biggest collection of Hot-rods, Muscle Cars and just about anything that ever road on 4 wheels and then some. Last month was crowded and parking was at a premium. Apparently some MINI owners tried to get there but could not find us in the sea of people and cars. We have been parking back by the Reebok store and were forced to "Double Park". We are working on a solution to the problem. Stay tuned for details as they develop. Afterward we will be heading over to the Americana Dinner for eats. The folks at the Americana Dinner were accommodating and the food was good. So mark your calender For the 27th and plan to come on out and join us for some MINI Fun.
I think we need a new "starting" spot or something, perhaps a little more driving and less standing?? We had a great time as usual but it was mad crowded! Cheers Mr. Jim
Hey - I see Mr Jim's car is one of the candidates for MINI of the month! Way to go Jim! C'mon guys, get those votes cast for RDNZL http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/featured-mini/4033-september-cooper-flags-mini-month.html

Also this month we will be taking a different route to Hightstown so make sure you bring your radios. We don't want to lose anyone! And all you new MINI owners, come on out and show off you MINI.

CASTING CALL 10-22-2010 Cast and Crew, Mark your calenders for Friday night October 22nd. Plans are in the work for an evening "Drive and Eat" Event. What is planned is to meet in Hightstown at Anthony's between 6:30 and 7:00. Leave at 7:00 and head out through the woods for dinner. There are a few places under consideration, just have to check the parking situation and we are set. I will post information at it develops.:crazy:
Friday Nights are back! Friday Nights are here again!!! Well Cast & Crew here is the news of the season about our usual Friday Night G2G. The location has Moved. See the attached link for more information. But in a nutshell it is no longer at the Outlets. It has moved to Hamilton, NJ on Rt 130 to the Shops at Hamilton. The dates are the same, the last Friday night of the month starting in April. fossils cruise night Hope to see everyone there!
What use to be the "Jackson Outlet Mall Car Show!" What use to be the "Jackson Outlet Mall Car Show!" Friday evening May 27th, 2011 Start gathering around 6:00pm. Don't forget, this is a new venue! The Shops at Hamilton, Rt 130 NB. It;s about a mile south of I195. And a little tricky to get into if you are coming from the north. If you are coming from the south, it's a snap. There are a few places to eat in the complex or we can go for a run and grab a bite somewhere else. There are a number of diners in the area or maybe an evening run to Tony Luke's for cheese steaks! So, Who's in?
If the scheduling gods cooperate, I'll hopefully get to come out and meet some of you folks, finally. I know the area quite well for finding whatever you want to eat.
