I was curious who all is around Orlando....I will have my Modded 69 running driving in the next week or two and will be hitting Old Town Sat nights and I also enjoy the parking lot and "Biffy Burger" type get together cruises....so anyone else around me?

Does anyone want to go to Cars and Cafe Saturday morning? I went last month with Bob (BEZ06) and had a blast. A good deal of exotics and plenty of other cool cars. It drizzled last month but still had a great time. I'd love to go again but don't want to go alone (girlfriend is out of town). Anyone want to meet up somewhere and ride in together? They raffle off some cool stuff for free too.

Here's a link to their site http://www.orlandoautomotiveclub.com/cars_and_cafe.html

And some pics from last month's meet. The yellow C5 is mine, the ZR1 is Bob's.

There's actually a lot of regular stuff too. The biggest group there was about 10 RX8s. Just that little area was the exotics. I got in there because I was with the ZR1. All of the other cars park in the actual parking lot. Some of the exotics are from the dealers down the road. Central FL Ferrari/Maserati and Lamborghini of Orlando are both sponsors so they bring cars there.

Hey Neal

I plan to go tomorrow, but I am gonna wake up tomorrow and take a look at the weather. I just got back from flying around the local area with a buddy and it's a cool but absolutely beautiful night. Hard to believe it's supposed to rain tomorrow morning!!

The13Bats asked if they're down to earth. YES!!!!

It's a real good bunch of car lovers. There's no entry fee, no judging, just drive in, park your car, and wander around and look and talk with other car folks. There's a good restaurant right there for breakfast and a Dunkin Donuts next door.

Hope to see some other Vettes there!!!

Bob

Hey Bob!

I thought you guys were going out of town for Linda's birthday or something along those lines.

I don't think I'm going to make it to this one. I'm just too tired and need to sleep in for once.

We still owe you two dinner or something. Let me know when you have some free time.

I have a blown/modded Y2K coupe and a member of Cars and Cafe
and Central Florida Corvette Asso. I live out in Oviedo and go
down to Ol Town every once in a while. There is a new vette
club forming in the Deland area; I went to the first meeting
and there are some interesting folks in attendence.
Cars and Cafe is in Sanford and they meet the last Sat of the
month-9 to 12. You will like it.
PM me if I can give any more info. There is alot of vette action
in Orlando.

Default Pics from Feb 27th event

Here's a link to a picture gallery of some of the cars at the Feb 27th event:

http://www.orlandoautomotiveclub.com/home.html

We had 2 Vettes there last month - a ZR1 and a Z06. We need more Vette participation!!!

The event is usually on the last Saturday of every month. However, for this month it's on

SATURDAY, MARCH 20th!!!

It's not a "show", just a get-together. No enty fee, no judging.

Butt.....the sponsors do put up raffle prizes every month. They collect cans of food for homeless, needy, Haitian relief, etc. Last month my wife brought a bunch of cans, and they hand out a ticket for each can of food.

Last month I won a really great detailing kit of a bunch of Pinnacle products. The car looks great after putting on the Pinnacle Souveran wax!!

There's a great restaurant for coffee, breakfast, or lunch right where the cars are parked, and a Dunkin' Donuts next door.

Hope to see more Vettes on March 20th!!

Bob
