Default Tampa Bay Cars & Coffee

Yesterday was the monthly gathering at the duPont Registry headquarters in St Pete, Florida. Here are only a few of the cars there. If you live in the area and never attended or if you plan on being in the area, this takes place on the third Saturday of the month. This is not just a gathering of a few cars, but more of a happening. There will be over 400 cars attending this event each month.
It is supposed to start at 7 am and is over at 9 am, but if you are not there around 6 am, you may find that you are parked in the over flow lot or on the road.

If you live in Tampa, it is a must for you to attend at least once. Yesterday the cars coming from Tampa were backed up almost a half mile at the light were you turn after you leave the Howard Franklin Bridge.

If you mean the C5, then NO. The C7 is also the second picture. But that is all I had.

Thanks for sharing really nice pictures. I really would love to drive one of those new Z28s! They have some amazing handling characteristics from everything I have read. I had a 98 after high school and loved it. Brings back memories except the new ones are a whole other beast. I did love having T tops on the older ones though.

Iy is a great event to attend. There are a lot of regulars that are there every month plus a lot of first timers and some great cars. The range fro the exotics on down to the everyday street cruiser. Lots of Corvette's also.

Mark you calendar, 3rd Saturday of every month. Just get there early if you want to park in the duPont lot. I normally get there a little after 6 am.

I am a sinner for not having gone yet. Thanks for the pic's; you seem to always have good input. Looks like a candy store out there and this just proved it.
