Read the bottom for the new info!

June 15 is the next meetup in New Canaan, and also the last one before their 3 month break.

Because us Oppos meet up, I propose we also cruise to a show thats local by me, about an hour and 30 minutes from New Canaan. I think Ill be in the Magnum, but its possible Ill have the SL600. Either way, Id like to make this happen.

A proposed Oppo meetup at a show by me, in Roxbury, NJ, with a local cruise afterwards, where the destination can be 287 or Route 80 for people to head home if need be.

The event is the NJSRA's Fathers Day Rod Run, in Roxbury NJ. Its a charity event for a local resident, has good food, and the coolest mix of classic cars in the area. The show runs from about 10am to 3pm. The actual hours are longer than that, but the park will not be very full until 10am, with people coming in and out well through the end of the show.

For us, because we'd be arriving later, we wouldnt manage to get cars into the show, but we'd be able to catch the last 3 hours of it, and there will certainly be a great mix of rides. The entrance fee for parking is $5 and then we would just walk into the show. I work just a few minutes up the road, and we could carpool from there to save money and also parking spots for other people.

So in condensed form:

We would leave Caffeine and Carburetors at 11:00am to NJ. We'll go down the Merritt Parkway to the 287 interchange, and take the 287 exit for Route 10 West, which will take us straight to the show.

I believe its $5 a head, Ive typically gone alone in the past because its tough to get my friends up at that time to hang out.

Anyone who wants to carpool or switch rides can be done minutes away from the Rod Run, where we can also get food for lunch, or hold off until afterwards, and get food elsewhere.

The general area has gas prices fluctuating between $3.69 and $4.09, depending on what area youre in. We can include a detour for cheaper gas if needed by anyone.

For anyone who needs help getting back to NY or South Jersey, taking Rt 10 East will take you directly to 287 North or South, which will get you to rt 80 or the Parkway in 30 minutes or less.

Email me at [username] @ gmail . com for more information or to confirm if you want to go, as well as posting here.

This is 17 days away, so if anyone is interested, lets make it happen!

Not sure if I'll be able to attend, but just as a heads-up, they changed New Canaan to Lime Rock.
