Not sure if anybody knew Alex, but im posting this cruise from PhillyStangs.
and heres the link, this is going to be a huge cruise in Alex's memory if anyone is interested.
yeah yeah yeah i know Spring is a long ways away, and it's only been a week since the funeral. but i've been thinking about this alot over the last few days. i've made a lot of great friends through this club, and consider us all a part of a Mustang enthusiast family…
…we lost one of our own. Alex was as much a part of this forum as most frequent users on this site. and even though he wasn’t able to come out to a ton of meets, he still was an avid poster on this site, did some work tinting tail lights and such for a couple people, and other odds n ends that made him an all around nice kid to have here. so imo he was a part of the PhillyStangs family.
so, what better way to honor his memory than with a cruise. I’m going to wait until the holidays are over to contact his dad to inform him of this and try to see if he would entertain the idea of driving Alex’s Cobra. I was thinking of starting at the cemetery where Alex is buried to lay some flowers and pay respects before we venture out. Take a nice drive and end getting a bite to eat and have a drink. Maybe we could find a place and reserve a table for us.
i am open to suggestions for a route to take and eateries to have lunch, as well as dates. I was thinking sometime at the end of May. That should give us nice weather for a drive.
all suggestions are welcome. lets make this a great cruise to honor a fallen friend…

**UPDATE**
EDIT: here is the meeting point. it's the Lowe's/Walmart parking lot in Bensalem. it'll give us direct access to the TurnPike. there is a road that runs right from that lot to the toll booth as you can see in the pic below.
the address is:
3421 HORIZON BOULEVARD
TREVOSE, PA 19053
we will leave the lot at 10:30am SHARP!!! if you get there and we have already left, don't worry! just jump on the TP and put the hammer down, lol. you'll catch up.
ok here's the preliminary route:

NOTES
- like with the other larger Cruises we've had, please print yourself a copy of the directions. with this many cars we WILL get separated from each other at SOME point and i'm sure more than once. i will do what i can to pull over and keep us all together.
- 2 way radios/walkie talkies. we brought some along on the last Pocono Cruise and the helped out a lot. it's much easier to use than having to fish for your phone then try yo find the # you need to call while your driving. i have 2 i can bring.
- EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE TO BRING THEIR OWN FOOD!
- gas. PLEASE make sure to top off your tank. there are a few stations along the route, but my guess is it will be impossible for 30+ cars to pull into a station, lol.
- i'll add more as i think of it...
and heres the link, this is going to be a huge cruise in Alex's memory if anyone is interested.
