Newport RI Car Meet, Ride.....May 3rd or 17nth...

This is my first post and hope it's OK...... My hopes are to bring together some car enthusiasts in the RI area. I live (recently moved full time) in Newport RI and have met some great car enthusiasts here and hoping to bring together some more. Please PM me your email address if your interested in more details. (or email me at [email protected]) I am very active on Porsche forums (Rennlist, portion of 6speed, etc...) as I am a Porsche (modified 997) owner not a Ferrari owner just yet. Here is my post with some more details. Some great cars you all have.... thanks for reading my 1st post....

“OK I am starting to pull together some dates and figured I would start early with this post. I am shooting for early to mid May. Week ends of May 3rd or May 17nth..... the 9nth is Mothers days’ week end so figured I would avoid that week end. Newport is a nice destination spot so those a bit further away looking to turn this into an overnight I can almost promise you (and your significant if you choose) will have a nice time in Newport. Plenty of places to stay overnight, nice restaurants, shopping, sights and so forth. Here are a few options....on the more expensive side but plenty of more economical B/B's in town. I list the below as they also have nice bars/food service as well as overnight accommodations but again others available at more reasonable rates. (I can gladly make some other recommendations if your interested)

My goal here is really to pull some car enthusiast together from the southern Ma, CT and RI area....and possibly start to organize more informal get together over the summer.

Day would be more a meet, greet and drive/ramble etc....meet and greet at Fort Adams or 1st Beach in Newport RI; Then a nice ride down Ocean Drive, through downtown, a pass through Salve Regina Campus, then over Newport Bridge with a rural jaunt through Jamestown RI and back.... some very nice roads, scenery, ocean views, mansions etc. to be seen on the ride. Will be a nice event for you as a car enthusiast and your guest if you choose to bring one.

This will never be as big as the most recent Ma event w/200+ cars. Much smaller group no doubt. Aiming for exotic to semi exotics and vintage.... sports cars.

Please PM me the dates above that best work for you and if you may want to attend. Thanks..... just wanted to get a post out their early.”

Thanks for the note back, it looks like the 17nth maybe the best week end so far (from the 2) so hoping that does not get in the way of other events.... where is the cars and coffee meet prior as I possibly could attend. Thanks.....

 

Oh that was the 300+ car meet, I hope to make one soon. Thats almost 2hrs north for me so hoping to get a down south RI/Ma group together..... Hope you can make it

 

May 17nth is the date.... allowing for some extra time to get cars out from Hibernation/storage/other etc,,,,
Will get times and agenda out soon. Thinking roughly 10:30am meet, some time to catch up and then a nicely mapped out drive.....

 

Please keep the date open.... details comming soon, thanks all.....
