hey guys- i am looking to form a very casual cruise from north jersey (lincoln park) to take a ride down to sandy hook to the state park there, then on to the local clam shack for some seafood and a couple of beers. so far i have myself, and a 96 vette going down with me.  im aware there is a BBQ going on saturday the 19th, but id love to meet up with whoever would like to meet us.

anyone up for it? it would be great to get a nice group for a nice informal get together down there. been wanting to meet some of you guys in new jersey but never seem to get the chance- circumstance always prevents it!

if anyone is interested, please let me know! it would be nice to have the NJ C3VR folks get to gether and hang out for a while.

im also up for suggestions if you know a better location, but i think thats a nice place to assemble.

I'll be on clean up duty from Saturday, but your certainly welcome to come to the BBQ.  The Vette's out of commission for a while also... so no cruising for another month or so for me...LukesVette2007-05-03 19:04:51

thats just the thing- i work on saturdays, and this thing just kinda fell together in the last week or so. id love to go, but as usual, unable!

I'll try to make it, not sure about the date, but if I'm free I will go! DaveM2007-05-04 07:20:52

OK, sounds good, but lets make the meet point east of the mall since When I get off 80 onto 46 I'll be past the mall. Just before Rt. 3 there is a Diner, don't know the name of it.

I'd go but the Vette is out of commission right now with front body work - 2 empty headlight holes, etc. I don't think I'll be finished by then. I love clams though. Sorry I have to miss this one.

dave- i think i know the one you speak of- i think its the brothers diner just before route 3. its across from the great notch in i think.  meeting you there is just fine with me.

glad to hear you will go- its a small group,  just 3 vettes right now. if you know of anyone else, lets get them too! any year is fine-  the more the better!

Is anyone else interested in joining up? looks like only three right now if dave is in- It would be cool to meet some of my fellow c3vr guys

yeah uh what is your full schedule? as in what time are you leaving and what route are you taking?  I am in basking ridge. it is much easier for me to go rt 287s to the GSP by route 1 and go over the bridge. there is a rest area right there before the toll. we could meet there or if we time it i will enter on when you all are flying by.  it makes no sense for me to backtrack to north jersey to come past my house and go south. but the cruise sounds interesting and i will have my shark from the BBQ before anyhow.

jeremy- i was planning on meeting some up by me near route 3.  say maybe 10:30, so we would get there around noonish. we could stop and meet you at a rest stop by the driscoll bridge on the GSP. i kinda know what way you mean.


i suggest the cheesquake service area to meet up. that is the one right over the raritan bay crossing, and its right off of the turnpike

the route would be this: we meet the initial group from the north at a diner just before route 3, take rt 3 to the GSP, meet up with you at the cheesequake service area, then take exit 117 for RT-36 toward RT-35/Keyport/Hazlet down to sandy hook. from there we go to a local place for a beer and clams. from there its up what everyone wants to do.


i suggest we all exchange cell phone numbers too to make sure we all meet up. If all goes well, we could all roll in together- a nice caravan.

so far i have a possible group of 5 including you.

Where are we meeting to leave? Also what time to leave and get back? Let me know please. Sounds like a great trip.

the route would be this:

we meet the initial group from the north at a diner just before route 3- (6 brothers diner on rt 46 across from the great notch in-  at 10:30


then take rt 3 to the GSP, meet up with moviecollector at the cheesequake service area around 11:30 depending on traffic,

then take exit 117 for RT-36 toward RT-35/Keyport/Hazlet down to sandy hook arriving at perhaps 12:30.

from there we go to a local place for a beer and clams. from there its up what everyone wants to do.

sound,s good see you thare. how about we meet some were on RT 23 let me know.

sure we can meet on 23- its on the way. let me know where

how about 10:15am by the bowling alley and movie theater in kinnelon on 23

id say lets hook up at 10 so we make sure we meet the others on 46 by 10:30- the bowling alley at kinnelon is perfect for me too
stevep3162007-05-16 19:44:55

ok see you at 10

Im laughing (ugh) lol..  My band just played the SUgar Shack at the Highlands side of the bridge last night...  I HATE weeknight gigs.  The weather last night FUGGEDABOUDIT!  SOunds like a great time..

Just to let you all know. If it is rainy on sunday i am going to have to back out of this run. I don't take my vette out in the rain.  If it clears up by the time we are going to meet then i am down. but i can't risk it very much due to, too many leaks and where they are in the car would drench my girlfriend who is coming with me.

hey kebo- more than welcome to join us!

just got in. great ride .good time with good people can not wait till next one dnoon & bnoon

couldnt have said it better! the weather was beautiful, although i did get a quick shower on the way home. only lasted for a minute though

now if i can just get that damn hood open!

would have joined up with you but i am on call this weekend for work. had to go in twice today. sounded like a great time. maybe on the next run i can make it.
