This year is the 23rd Cruising the Coast event on the Mississippi gulf coast that runs from Oct 06 thru Oct13. I was there this past week end for the start of the event. The registration parade on Sunday was limited to the first 600 cars! They expect to register over 15,000 cars and trucks by next Thursday! I think this is the largest ongoing open car event in the nation. You can look it up on the Biloxi, Miss website if not familiar with it. I only saw two other retro birds all weekend. Is there still a active Retro Bird group in the area? I plan to return next weekend for the Beachboys' concert and would like to meet some other TBNers.
