I still think a lunch/30 minute parking lot meet, then show would be a good idea. Just a thought...

you'll want to get to the show at like 11:00am if you're viewing and then do lunch. and go back for more. When I go to these shows I go hang out with the Delorean Club of Florida for the day and its an early day since I help park the cars.

Price of registration gets two lunches provided at the show

are we solid on a date? I got an idea by me, large parking lot (no minivans!!! damn them) that we can set up in... Im always down, as you all know, however you all do know I still need paint and wish not to show my coupe due to that)

I have a 240D W115 missing title out at Pierre's shop. I really would like a parts chassis with title to do a complete swap to (in exchange you get what you want for your chassis ($$=TITLE) plus my chassis and everything needed to make a running car, Kevin, im sure you know what I mean) but in any event, im stoked for another gtg.

I learned my lesson from the one gtg I came to in my Lexus (talk about feeling out of place!) and if Joe or Stuart need a hand, please give me a call.

Moss park- costs a $3 entery fee, nice otherwise
Parking lot by me- Off 528- we'll see what I can do
Flowers Park- That one we had them at for a few- Minivans, yeah, but free...

Options open, but I will help out. Please let me know or call/ TEXT me (954) 849/3070, lemme know your user name and Ill respond...

No longer in the Lakeland area, but th Tigertown Stadium parking lot is big and open. Only 3 miles away on Lakeland Hills Blvd. Its a straight shot down Lakeland Hills to the park.

Edited for spelling

I think that since Joe is in the show that Lake Mirror is pretty much our commitment right now. I have a few ideas as to what we can do for the day, and if anyone has more please suggest them!

Idea 1). Everyone meets after the show in the early afternoon for lunch/parking lot meet. Basically if you want to go see the show, go early and come meet for lunch after or if you don't you can just come up for lunch.

Idea 2). Meet early somewhere near the show in a parking lot, do a parking lot meet and then head to the show.

Idea 3). Go to the show in the morning and convoy back to Orlando for a late lunch/early dinner and parking lot meet.

Like I said that's all I can really come up with right now but I'm up for whatever.

Any of those options sound good. I am the one looking into the hanger/garage in Ocala, but that would be a tech day. Maybe I can setup a shop day sometime after this meet for those who wish to work on their cars and have some needs that others can help with.
