Default Calling out all Central Florida Corvette..

Hey,
I'm located in Spring Hill, Florida. Which is 20 minutes from Tampa.

I was wondering who on this forum is from Florida-Tampa/Spring Hill/St. Pete/Clearwater

Or anywhere else Local within the Bay Area.

Maybe we can set up some kind of meet of some sort.
Thanks,
-Jeremy.

No politics, club presidents, etc

Ken, I also live in the UCF area, and belong to Florida Corvette Club. PM me if you want more info.

As mentioned earlier, there are also the "Misfits", that are an informal group of Forum members from Central Florida (mostly Tampa I think).

Hey Jeremy! Send me a note if you're ever headed this way (JAX).

There is a show at Silver Springs on 11/6 you might consider. Supposed to be a good time to meet Corvette folks, too.

Ken

Ken, Gary...
Stuzvette is out and about most Wed and Thurs nights...in winter park oviedo area...

Most clubs, including mine, are eat and meet...
...many, including mine, are organized to assist under privileged, needy, and indigents in the community as well as specific social issues including offering financial assistance and awareness of cancer and other illnesses...
...soooo...I dont have anything against clubs or supporting such causes...and I will...
...but I am not a very good clubber...I am a pretty good cruiser...
There are a number of vette lovers among the Florida Crew that love to cruise and most times able to drop everything in pretty short notice to join up with a Florida Crews-in...
...I have had many a Saturday cruise to Ecklers (Titusville) and then to Cocoa Beach or Daytona Beach and then home again...
I have even been on the beach with Stuzvette 2 times
We have had 1 or 2 or 25 folks just cruise out to meet up because we can...
Shows are fun...and a whole lot of work! ...soooo I am limiting serious shows to 2 per year at Ecklers...
I limiting shows to cruise...the prettiest days are missed sitting in a lot...
I am all for cruising in and out to show-off...and being able to know where, especially vetters, are showing off...

I say all this to say that I have great relationships with guys and gals all over florida and the topic of "the club" doesnt come up...
...but we cruise together anyway...email me when your cruising and Ill do the same...
Speaking of which Tuner Golf Tour III is being arranged
