Count me in also! I need to get to Ecklers anyway to buy a couple parts (thinkin a rear partition and a shorty antenna).

Funny side note, I've never been to Ecklers so I looked it up on yahoo and got driving directions... I followed the directions to Washington Ave in orlando and I ended up on a street called Washington Ave in a neighborhood, the address it gave me was a large house with a pool, without any commercial buildings in sight.

Guess someone's last name is Ecklers, or yahoo maps sucks

I'd be interested in a trip to Ecklers. I need a new differential and T/C this could save $ on shipping!

Hey Mike, I'm pretty sure there is only one location.
Check out this link:
http://www.ecklers.com/contactT.asp?...752FDWKQU678V4
It also has a map so you won't be in the wrong place next time.

I live in Orlando, you can shoot across SR 50 which is in the heart of downtown Orlando at I-4. Just head East on 50 all the way to the end in Titusville.... you have to make a left or right, make a right and it's on your right about a block down. It's about 40-45 miles from I-4. If you're in town I am a vendor here on the forum too... check out my site www.exoticvette.com. I have under-carpet insulation kits also that I just did two installs on yesterday.

Be happy to cruise with you guys too if I'm not working

Between H&H Corvette on the right side and Roger's on the left side, HWY 17-92 has almost caused me countless wrecks. It took about a 1/2 dozen trips NOT ON I-4 before my family caught on.....
