Hey all,​

The other coordinators and I have been trying to think of a way to better acknowledge the 50th anniversary of the Mustang. Thanks to blwn93GT, we now have the ability to act on it :awesomework:

The entire New York Mustangs Club is being called (yes, nearly EVERY MEMBER) to participate in this event. It would be great to organize a meet and cruise to the desired meet point in Albany, NY.

The meet site has been figured out and placed above, its right off the cross island parkway:
EASTBOUND: exit 32 coming from the east, make a right on totten ave. WESTBOUND: exit 33 continuing to totten ave, make a left and go straight.

I'm also looking for a few volunteers that would be interested in helping set this meet and spreading the word about our giant NYM Albany extravaganza.

I am without a doubt going. I want to see over 20+ cars from the long island area participate, and I know that from now until September we can accomplish that.

Who's in? I'm making a list here? post here or contact me if you're interested: (516) 880-4430 (text only please)

picking a sunday is a bad idea for a long cruise like this.

I totally agree, a Saturday would be better.... That way you stay overnight someplace, and then cruise back Sunday morning......

Im in the same area, I feel worse for our suffolk county members :nono: BUT even though its a long trip, I do agree that it should be saturday instead. I may actually detour and head west to visit my gf after, but I have to see what my schedule is like. its very far away from now, but i am planning on going nonetheless :awesomework: its for the club, and the last time I recall, there is no "I" in club :nym: :ilovenym: (except there is an "I" in that sign, but you know what I mean :D)

I am hearing no chatter from Westchester and the Bx people. I think part of the problem is the 2hr ride to Albany (no traffic time), of course there will be tons of traffic getting there. Then Albany is a meeting point, still another 1 1/2 to get to Lake George, between traffic and all those cars keeping up. Then on a Sun night to get home from LG to the Bx will take at least 5 hrs or more with traffic. I think that's where we losing lots of people. I personally can't sit in the car that long anymore, but even the younger generation arent into it.
I love the idea and was contemplating the super cruise, but I'll never make the drive. I hope everyone has a blast!!!!
If anything changes, I'll see ya in Albany!!

It's going to be five hours for Rochester guys and even longer for Buffalo people. It's just how it worked out. I have to work that Monday morning so it is what it is. It will be a long day but if people plan now they can make it work. It's not like it's a last minute thing here. We have had weeks and weeks in advance notice to plan.

To me it's not something done ever and think will be a blast. Going from Rockland/ westchester nyc up to Albany we should not hit traffic on a Sunday. Coming home will be a different story but I think will be a fun time.

Iam sorry about setting this up on a Sunday guys, but it was the only option, i have a 5hr drive there and back, i will be going out Saturday night so i am there bright and early Sunday morning to get set-up

We have Buffalo guys driving 6 hours each way and Rochester guys are 5 each way, i tried to make a event to bring the entire club together as one and also celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang, we have people coming from PA, NJ, Ohio and Massachusetts, im sure you can find time to come up, i created this event and made Albany the meeting point to take the relief of the NY City guys and not try to get you to drive all the way to Rochester, everyone has to make the drive, but its is not about that, its about getting the club together as a entire club and having a fun day.

With that being said, drive up Saturday night, lets get together, go out and have some dinner and have a good time, how many chances do we get to do this? I have to work on Monday from 9am-9pm and i will be tired, probably cranky but i will make the cruise.

The event was made and can not be changed, can i atleast get some participation from the NYC guys as the Albany point was mainly made for the purpose of being closer to you, not us.
