Default Coming to Orlando

I'm coming to Orlando on the 4th September in about 5 weeks time, just wondered if there is anything Corvette related going on? Any Old Town cruise nights going on? Or anyone want to meet up for a beer?
I'm staying in Kissimee. Wife should let me escape for a beer or two

Bet you can't! Been there twice & had a great time. If you get the chance, try an oven roasted steak at the Outback restaurant
I'm angling for a trip to N California next May. Or maybe try another part of Florida, somewhere like St Pete's beach? There's a shop there I'd like to visit, but I think I've been rumbled on that one
Have a great time & don't forget to take a couple of empty cases (you've got to see the Saturn V at Kennedy, & when you're at Kennedy it'd be a crime not to take a 2 mile detour to Ecklers on the way back ).

This will be my 6th time in 12 years to Orlando and looking forward to it as much as ever. I haven't been since I have had the '81, last time was 4 years ago.

There are a few C3er's around here. The Oldtown cruise is always fun... but...Friday is 73-87 and Sat is 72 and older. That makes it hard to set something up with C3's. My wife and I woul like to get together with you.so just give me a call when you get here. (407-898 0730) The weather will be very hot in Sept. so most things are in Oct-Nov.
