Belgium Mopar Muscle meeting

On Sunday June 11th, I visited the 4th Mopar Muscle Meeting in Antwerps (Belgium), which was my first visit to this event.

It was definitely worth the voyage because of the cars, the interested people walking around, and the atmosphere in general, but I feel they deserved a lot more visitors.
The weather was superb but maybe because of the heat, people stayed away. As far as I can judge, about 50 or 60 cars got there, some of them vey fine indeed.
I will surely go back there next year. Its an event Allpar should put on its calender.

This Mopar-meeting is one of the several american car related events organised there, the other ones including a custom car show, and (in August) an event called “American Power on Wheels”, which is one of Europe’s biggest American car events, said to attract around 2.500 cars.

The location for all of these events is wonderfull: they take place at the long kay along the river Schelde which flows through the city of Antwerp. In effect, you are on walking distance from the city centre. The location itself and the way it is dressed up is not very refined which is all right as it gives the feeling of a spontaneous meeting. The atmosphere at those meetings is usually quite good, the relaxed Belgian way.

By the way: at the Mopar event, I was contacted by a Dutch gentleman, Mr. Ensing, who told me he was a former Chrysler-importer employee and he intends to organise a Chrysler (Mopar) event this September in Utrecht. I’ll keep you posted.
