My wife Rachel and I are planning on attending as our first DMAC event! Hopefully I will have my car mechanically wrapped so I can bring it. It won't be 'finished' nor as beautiful as the ones I see in the member photos, but it should at least get us around! I look forward to meeting everyone that has been of such great assistance to my efforts.

Hey Todd;
It will great to meet you and your wife for the first time. You won't meet a nicer group of people! They're not a picky bunch and definitely not snobs. If you bring your car in whatever condition Durantonians love to look at them. Heck we've spent many an hour looking over a rusted out relic that someone has picked up and stopped off on the way to somewhere. It doesn't matter, shinny or rusty. We love to look at them.

Request to Adam and Ryan, please prepare a list of restaurants, brew pubs, and microbreweries for all of us to choose from. Peg and I land in MSP in time for lunch, and a brewpub close to the hotel would be great. Thanks.

I am having trouble contacting the hotel to reserve a room -- Can anyone tell me what number I should call?? I tried the 800 number and got a recording that I could hardly hear and then it went dead. Remember I am calling from Canada so maybe that's the glitch.

More attendees needed:

As of right now, we have 8 cars, 25 registrations, 21 hotel rooms booed with a commitment from 39 people.

Last September, I mentioned wanting to do a river board cruise, but I wasn't sure about budgets. I budgeted for 50 people, and the River board cruise is basically a fixed cost, so I need 11 more people to sign up so we can pay for the river board cruise.

(hey -it's my first time organizing something like this, so I'm learning a lot here too)

If you're on the fence or not sure, or concerned about the deadlines, please let me know that you're interested, and I'll see you get added to the list. Remember you don't need to bring a car.


Thanks!

Time for the remaining fence sitters to get moving; plan right now to attend and be prepared to have a great time. Let Adam know ASAP if you can attend so he can put the rest of the plans to rest and he can relax a bit. If you've never attended one of these, they are most enjoyable with a great down to earth bunch of people. You also pick up many valuable tips relating to your vehicle and you can meet people that can provide tech help later and there will be great things to see and visit in the tours. Call Adam now.

If anyone in the Pacific Northwest are in need of a car trailer, I have an extra that is available here in Leavenworth...Hey, I also have "Higby" running like an eight day clock since it met it's demise on one of them San Diego freeways at the Meet a couple years ago, and it even stops now! We could load that guy on the trailer and someone could take them both....Yukon Jack, are you up for some excitement?

Where Are You From? Leavenworth, WA / Yuma, AZ

Do You own a car built by Durant? Yep

Hello Bill
I am always ready for some excitement but--unfortunately I have a prior commitment. Cant go to Leavenworth to pick up car and trailer- I have a lady friend that has to go to Winnipeg and have said I would be the taxi for her. It would be a bit of a long trip if I was to go to winterpeg and then to Leavenworth then to the meet-- Too bad I didn't know earlier Might have been able to do something.
See you in Michigan

It's just a friendly reminder that the hotel reservations are due tomorrow (Wednesday, Aug 19) if you want to get the block rate.

I'll be working on a restaurant guide that I should have published by the weekend for those who are coming early or staying late.



If anyone is staying Sunday, there is a Gangster tour available in St. Paul at Noon. There wasn't enough money in the budget to do a large group, but if people are interested, they can call on their own.

It's $24 / person and reservations are required. You can also call (651)292-1220.

Was REALLY hoping to be at this one. It'll probably never be closer to Iowa. Would have brought my car too. But I have to be at a family reunion (wife's side) in southern Missouri on Sunday. Tried to think it thru in my mind but it just can't all happen even tho it is just a short jaunt to MN. So if I want to stay in the family, I'll be going in the opposite direction. Also getting ready for an elk hunt in MT the last 2 weeks of Sept. So enough of my excuses. I hope you all have a great time in Minnesnowta. My thoughts will be with you.

Hi Wayne.....

Sorry to hear you can't make the meet. But understand the family event takes precedent

Enjoy the hunt also, but be careful of any tree stand!

We have a count of 43 people and 9 cars. :-)

I have sent in the count to the river boat cruise company.

If you're planning on coming, and haven't yet sent in your registration, please let me know.

The hotel has asked that we keep the trailers detached from the trucks so we have enough room. They are reserving some spaces for us. If you have jacks or blocks to help with loading/unloading cars that would be appreciated by the Hotel.

We are exactly 2 weeks out from check-in day!

The 2015 DMAC Annual Meet is in the history books........we had a great time touring the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, taking a dinner cruise on the St. Croix River, visiting a Catholic Cathedral, as well as all of the other places that we saw.

Several new faces and new members attended this years meet, it was great to see our new friends and members from Kansas and Ontario, and their cars....First time that we had 4-A22's at a DMAC meet, that was nice....

And as always, it was nice to see all of those that we only get to see once a year, and to play catch up with what has happened during the previous year.

We are looking forward to the 2016 DMAC in Canada, see you then.

I, also, thoroughly enjoyed meeting with everybody and riding in a couple of the A22's. The meet was well planned and coordinated and I particularly enjoyed the supper cruise. The trip back home was uneventful and smooth. The police were busy with other people and didn't bother me in the least. I left the hotel at 8am and pulled in my driveway just before midnight as a smooth 1000 miles rolled over on the trip odometer.

It's always nice to see such lovely people and the new people were a joy to meet as well.

We would like to thank Adam and Ryan for hosting a very enjoyable and well organized meet and for providing great weather too! We had a lot of fun visiting the sights and it was nice to see everyone again. We arrived home safely last evening after a leisurely drive and a visit to the Gilmore Museum in Hickory Corners, MI.

We hope everyone will be sure to plan and attend the 2016 meet in Orillia, Ontario, Canada, September 7-11 and we hope to have most of the details for this posted on the website about January.

As others have said-we REALLY appreciate all the work Adam and Ryan did to make this meet such a success! Everyone attending seemed to have a wonderful time. Personally, this is like our second family, and we cannot wait until we get together next year in Ontario! We know Brigit and Don will do an awesome job putting on next year's meet! IF you couldn't make this years- plan now to make next years! And to all DMAC members who are still traveling home-stay safe!

Mike Actually I think the A-22 was available in three colors...but I have never seen a Grey one. These cars were manufactured and painted before they developed spray paint equipment.

Where Are You From? Tucson

Do You own a car built by Durant? A-22,B-22,633

What was the third A-22 color (besides red and grey) Bob? Also, I assume it was a maroon red, but what kind of grey? Are there any viewable color swatches on the internet?

When mine eventually sees the paint ship I would consider going to a different original color.
