Default Moving to Orlando

Calling all Vetters in the Orlando area.

This is Neatnic from Chicago. I have decided to move to Orlando. I will be moving right after the cruise in. I am going to drive down to the Cruise In with the Chicago Crew and then would love to hook up Sunday with the FL crew going south. I am going to drive the vette in Sunday night and park her in the garage, then fly back to Chicago Monday and pack up my rental truck and drive down a few days later.
--
I will have to have a welcome party to get to know a few people. I am going to rent for a year or so while looking around for a nice house or town house.
--
I will be "Styling" at Northbridge Condos on the Mellenia. Close to the Mellenia Mall.

Welcome to Florida. I'm originally from Chicago too.

Don't forget to get a front filler plate to smooth out the front end. I always hated that when I was in Illinois. I didn't like the way the required plate broke up the front end on the vettes.
