That's about an hour and a half drive. I'm down for a meet, if you can get something planned. Usually as long as there's enough of a heads up, JimmyJam's GF lets him come to meets and stuff, or sometimes she even tags along (she's cool like that) Triz is sometimes over in Orlando on weekends for work stuff, so if he's free I think he'd be down. The REAL trick, is getting the members who already live over there to come. 
Might send a PM to Fen65 and eutechnyx, they aren't very active on the site, but they are down for car shows and meets. I know we've got some guys up in Jacksonville, would be easier for them to come to an Orlando meet than the ones way over here.

Having mods isn't that big of a deal. Most of the non SS guys on our end of I-4 don't have any major mods to show either. It's more about hanging out, putting faces to screen names, getting to know each other and making new friends. Most of the time when we have mini meets over here that don't make it in my thread, we don't even park together

Yeah I would be down. There are some cool things to do near old town and a cheap hotel for those who don't want to drive back the same day. There are some high speed carts not too far away which can be fun.
No usual set time, it depends on what we are gonna do and who's available or has obligations they have scheduled like work for the few unlucky ones that have to work weekends. Lunch, dinner, work on the trucks, watch a game, attend a car show, go to the beach... It's all random really.
So we've got a date on the table, if no one has any problems with that, next is to pick a place.

A place with good food and enough parking for those of us who wanna attend, that's the bare minimum. Everything else is icing on the cake. And maybe ice cream too... Where is the place where that show is gonna be?

Now that we've got some local eyes on this thread, you guys can work out the details. Once those are ironed out, I'll try to round up the guys over here, and setup a caravan or something.

Just saw this thread. I wish my truck wasn't down and the fact I have an appointment for my dog to see the vet on that day otherwise I'd be there.
Confirmed so far, just waiting on a time and place to show up, and our caravan will be there.
1) Blckshdw (Carlton)
2) Kurupt (Carlos)
3) JimmyJam (Jimmy)
4) Triz (Angel)

So I'm finally looking at the locations... The Corvette show is in Leesburg? Location and time window-wise , I'd prefer the first car show, but it looks like a grass/dirt lot, is that only for show car parking, or do guests park there too?

The location that we will be having our car club meet at this weekend on the 21st (8:00PM) is
Bed Bath & Beyond
5803 South US Highway 17 92
Casselberry, FL 32707
We meet at the very back of the parking lot next to the 7-11. We usually meet there around 8PM, there will probably be 8-10 of us plus however many from here that will be there. We usually grab some food around 10PM at the Dennys right next to the meet spot.

Hey Mike, did you ever look into the parking situation? From looking at the event info online, it looks like $6 just to get in, and we probably have to find somewhere else to park?
Thinking Pizzeria Unos on I Drive for dinner, and then head up to Ken's meet afterwards.
Talked to Kevin tonight, he's out.
We still need to settle on a meet up time.

Parking is $5 in the grass in the park.
2 fields, one has the show and the other is for parking.
Food trucks confirmed.

What time sounds good to you Tampa folks?

Looks like we're experiencing the typical pre-meet attrition. It will just be me and Carlos heading out there in the afternoon, Jimmy will be coming after sundown. I'm gonna get my truck washed first thing that morning, so figure we'll get on the road around 10 ish, and hit Orlando around 11:30.
Figure we can meet you somewhere on the way, if you want to pick a convenient spot near the highway, then caravan downtown. Should give us a good 3 hours, although I'm sure it won't take us that long to walk around the park a few times. Ken were you joining us for that too?

Had technical phone difficulties just got my phone back from Samsung Carlton.
I am having a bit of car trouble at the moment. Weird sound coming from underneath that I have not been able to pinpoint as of yet that has been getting louder and hard for me to diagnose on my own. Hope to try and figure it out tomorrow. Cant tell if it is related to my P0420 code since it seems to be coming from underneath or something more serious.

I won't be making the show, our club is having a work on vehicles day at my place, I have another project to work on Saturday but I can't wait to see you guys Saturday night! I hope everyone has a safe trip and I apologize for the lack of response from me I work a lot lol
We had a good time, weather was perfect for a car show. I posted a picture thread in this subforum, so you can check those out. Hopefully you can make the next one, and you won't be the only Envoy either "wink:Fen65 said:
