“OK I am starting to pull together some dates and figured I would start early with this post. I am shooting for early to mid May. Week ends of May 3rd or May 17nth..... the 9nth is Mothers days’ week end so figured I would avoid that week end. Newport is a nice destination spot so those a bit further away looking to turn this into an overnight I can almost promise you (and your significant if you choose) will have a nice time in Newport. Plenty of places to stay overnight, nice restaurants, shopping, sights and so forth. Here are a few....on the more expensive side but plenty of more economical B/B's in town. I list the below as they also have nice bars/food service as well as overnight accommodations...

My goal here is really to pull some car enthusiast together from the southern Ma, CT and RI area....and possibly start to organize more informal get together over the summer.
Day would be more a meet, greet and drive/ramble etc....meet and greet at Fort Adams or 1t Beach in Newport RI; Then a nice ride down Ocean Drive, through downtown, a pass through Salve Regina Campus, then over Newport Bridge with a rural jaunt through Jamestown RI and back.... some very nice roads, scenery, ocean views, mansions etc. to be seen on the ride. Will be a nice event for you as a car enthusiast and you guest if you choose to bring one.
This will never be as big as the most recent Ma event w/200+ cars (great, hope to attend the next one) but smaller so we can do an organized ride after we meet...... Much smaller group no doubt. Aiming for exotic to semi exotics, any P cars, always loved the NSX and vintage.... sports cars.
Please PM me the dates above that best work for you and if you may want to attend. Thanks..... just wanted to get a post out their early.”

I was driving a SAAB 95 wagon - the REAL one with the Ford engine and that marvelous free wheeling that I guess was banned by some bureaucrat for our safety. Still wish I had that car but it got rear-ended at a light by an octegenarian and totalled.
