This has been mentioned. I think it would be fun, but also there would be a lot of disappointed folks that couldnāt make it. But I put together a picnic in the park one time on a Mustang forum and had 19 Mustangs show up from up to 300 miles away. It was a lot of fun, and it was a helluva car show 
So it doesnāt have to be something expensive. Something simple would be fun. There are a lot of people here in the midwest that would probably love to go. I think Kentucky would be central to a large number of folks here.

I would be happy to join in if we could get something set up!
Since most of us here are older, maybe we all could just meet up at the nursing home?

i never was much of a city lover. i grew up on a farm with my grandfather in Ewing, IL. when he passed away i was 16 and my mom moved us to Chicago Heights bc jobs were better there (she is a nurse). i delt with it okay, but not into all the concrete. it took me a while to save up enough dough to get out of there (bc believe me, Lynchburg Tennessee is NOT where you come to grow a bank balance). got some land here and built a house (more like a cabin, lol). but itās beautiful.

So I noticed a few people where talking about a meet up, I would definitely be interested in something like that! I was also thinking since we are all over the world different people could host different events in different areas of the world. They wouldnāt have to all be at the same time or anything fancy just meet at a park and have a meal, play some games and talk! You lose so much in text.
