Moparty at the strip 2011, anyone?

Postby fbernard » 18 Feb 2011 9:23

Yes, it has been renamed "Moparty at the Strip".

A litle bit late this year (second week-end of April). http://matslv.com

I'm going to attend the event this year (I'm doing a round trip with friends from LA to SF to Vegas and back to LA, back to Vegas again, and back to LA). And hopefully, the ton of new photo equipment I just bought will come in handy.
I'll be gone for almost a month (chances are I won't want to fly back home :s005: ).

Anyone else plans to attend?

(and I'll be at the Good Guys "All-American Get Together" in late March and at the Spring Flingtoo, April 16th and 17th)

I think you'll will have good time checking out the wild west Fabian. Sounds exciting hangin out on the strip with most of the top Mopars in the US. Watch those casinos though, that scene has a way of shortening a vacation. :wink:

I'm working on finding a Co-party (ier) for the Moparty. Being its a new event to me, not sure about taking the Challenger. Maybe just check out the sights this year. :s002:

Well the vacation is getting closer for me (I'm leaving France on March 24th), I don't know if I'm getting excited about the trip or fed up with my current work, but the next 20 days are going to feel like a big stretch...
All the photo equipment is complete, my duffel bag is almost packed, I'm now startint to wonder about the things I'm bound to forget...

Well, vacation's over, I'm back at work after almost a month in Disneyland, and I have to sort through 13000 pics I took plus the pics my friends took also. This will take a while.

Although I'll share a pic of a 1963 Sport Fury and a 1940-something firetruck which caught my eye... I'm sure some will like these here!

Nice scenery! No wonder my wife wouldn't let me go. :x So what do you think of the left coast now? :P Looking forward to more pictures.

I may have a skewed and partial view of things, but that's where I'd like to live.
Night life ending at 10:30 PM (last call for drinks at many bars) is a bit strange though.

More pics? We'll see after I have sorted them all...

I won't be going this year, partly because my colleagues will frown upon me taking one full month abroad -again-, partly because I'm not sure I won't throw a fit when it's time to fly back here, and also because my house will never be finished if I keep going to the USA every time I have some holidays...

MATS is great, Vegas is a nice place for this kind of event (don't care for the snow in April though).

If it's anything like last year, bring some sun block for the NHRA races and warm clothes for the MATS!
