New England Intl Auto Show: Camp Jeep and Gillette Bike

On Tuesday, My father and I got a chance to visit the 2005 New England International Auto Show at the Bayside Expo in Boston, Massachusetts, what a good show. There was a couple of concepts, the Orange County Chopper’s Gillette Bike featured on Discovery Channel’s American Chopper and lots of new 2006 models, but the big thing was Camp Jeep New England.

Camp Jeep New England were anyone who attends the autoshow have a trained Jeep driver take passengers along an indoor course that simulates off-road conditions - right down to a 20-foot drop and a spin through an artificial river. on a enclosed course with climbing hills, water, rocks and more.

Yes, both of us attended camp jeep, enjoying every minute of it. When we got there, there was not much of a line and we could choose the vehicle, we were interested in purchasing a Jeep Wrangler, so we tried out a Red 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, this Wrangler was fully loaded and for a 6 foot 6″ guy in the backseat, I fit fine. The course had everything including a huge and small hill, water, and more. Great ride, but you have to try this out for the full effect.

I will be posting a couple more posts on this auto show including more concepts, some domestic and some foreign/imports automakers.
