Hi, welcome to the area. I'm in Hampton. I'm a new Charger owner just back from my 1st M&G at Bass Pro Shops in Hampton. I had a blast and plan on going back. From what I understand, it runs from 4:00 until 10:00 every Saturday, but folks usually show up around 6 or 7. I got there at 7:30 last night and it was pretty crowded. There were several Chargers there, and everybody was really cool.

[USCG charger]

JAsonWelcome to Virginia !! Sorry to hear about you car getting broken into. Hopefully, they didn't get much or hurt your car.

You the guy that was asking for directions to get to the Coast Guard base in Newport News a while back?

As for the M&G's, The Virginian-Pilot (newspaper) on Fridays is a good place to check out what's happening in the area. Usually it's in the Drive Section. Or you can get up with ChargerSxT, he's usually in the know of what's happening.

Welcome to the area, Jason. Where abouts from TX are you from? I'm a native Texan myself.

As SB said, I do try to organize GTGs. So far, we've only had 2 Dyno Days. I'm thinking about doing something else...maybe an all day cookout close to a beach somewhere.

Also, don't forget about the car show in July! Hope to see you there!

Hopefully, I'll be able to make it to BPS more in the future.

... when do u guys normally meet up? is it mostly on sat. nights @ the BPS? JAsonMost of the time I just straggle in at around 7ish since I live in the southside area. Yes, it's normally on Sat nights. Haven't heard any different.
There's also a place down on this side that's been around for a while. They usually start out earlier. It's in Haygood Shopping Center. Everybody refers to it as Jenro's.

[soccerbachelor]

I'm good for a M&G and cookout near the beach, Sandbridge has a huge lot and a bunch of grilles we can use and its close to me down here on this side of the water!!!

[Virginia_Dodge]

pretty bad we call it the north side or south side, makes us sound like we are in a diffrent world on the south end.

[DaveDees]

pretty bad we call it the north side or south side, makes us sound like we are in a different world on the south end.Didn't mean anything derogatory by calling the lower Hampton Roads area 'southside'. As quoted in Wikpedia: "The land area includes dozens of cities, counties and towns on the Virginia Peninsula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Peninsula) and in South Hampton Roads (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Hampton_Roads)." Since I don't live on the Peninsula, therefore, I must live in the Southside.

Just yanking your chain, Bro. :lol:

Seriously, though, hope you didn't take offense to it. That's what it's been called for the last 39 years that I recall.

[Virginia_Dodge]

nah no offense taken, just razzin Craig! :)

[ChargerSXT]

How did I get dragged into this? :lol:

[Virginia_Dodge]

bad timing or just bad luck? :)

[ChargerSXT]

bad timing or just bad luck? :)

Probably a little bit of both.

[Ujokin2]

As for those of us living out in the "country" where we have to deal with raccoons, rabbits, foxes, big turtles, deers and an occasional Black bear running across the our patch of the state freeway 58.

I have friends and family who live in the "country". LOL

And yeah, the other side of the HRBT has always been called the southside--at least for my 43 years here.

Stuff on the other side of the JRB is "across the bridge".

[soccerbachelor]

too much water round these parts and bridges!!!!!

[Profit of Doom]

I hate tidewater area... :)

[soccerbachelor]

Why are you here then??

I hate the stupid traffic and bridges and tunnels and too much military presence but I like the weather and the beach.

[Profit of Doom]

I got sucked in by family and now I can't get my wife to move.. LOL

Too much snow up north. Too many creepy crawly creatures down south

[DaveDees]

I've been here on the southside since 1970, compliments of Uncle Sam. You can't beat the weather. If you don't like it, wait a half hour it'll change.

You can too beat the weather. The weather around here sucks!

[Profit of Doom]

Needs alot more snow :)

[DaveDees]

I personally hate snow and the cold. So it suits me ok. You have to remember too, that I'm a "Damn Yankee". The only thing I can say is, I thought the anchors were on the ships. LOL

[ChargerSXT]

I'll take mid-70s to mid-80s every day and down in the upper-50s to low-60s every night.

AND NO HUMIDITY!!!!!

[CGCharger]

[ChargerSXT]

[ChargerSXT]

I've got a car show and possibly a cruise-in this Saturday. And don't forget the HRME show on the 26th. Will you be able to make it out?

[CGCharger]

I have duty this weekend, where is the info for the HRME show on the 26th? Thats not the one at Hall is it?

[ChargerSXT]

No...it's not the one at Hall. It's the show that I host through HRME. You can find more info at www.hr-mopar.info. There is also a thread on the show here in the HRME sub-forum.

[CGCharger]
