Florida Mazda Meet !!

due to hurricane damage to Hillsborough State Park...meet has been postponed...i will update as soon as I can confirm a date..may need a new location
 
I was wondering about that. That is not-so-bad- news for me, as I missed work because of Jeanne, and would not get enough pay to make it down. Just keep me posted. I am working on the whole cashflow thing, now that I got a job. Let me know when we do the meet, and will go from there!
 
Well I was hoping for a few weeks...I cant make the 10th. Ill either be in the booth (I still havent got my junk painted (eyeballs) ) or Ill be in GA hunting.

Maybe someday....(hi)
 
I will not be able to make it on the 10th. My wife is flying in from Maine on Sat to visit and I have to supervise/grade an Army ROTC function on Sun.
 
all participating this starts at 12 at Hillsborough state park ..please bring your stuff and please show
 
sorry to hear that man, but i am not surprised. florida people are too lazy to drive and tampa/orlando people are not into hanging out and making this happen at all. believe me, i have been in the protege scene for 3 years. sorry it didn't work out for you. our club couldn't come up after just coming back from NC/TN/GA drive. I didn't want to organize another drive and mostly nothing gets done down here unless I organize it. plus, honestly, I don't think we will ever go to another tampa or orlando area meet since all of the central florida people dissed us when we organized and hosted a picnic for them down here back in february.

We might hold a picnic in north Palm beach the first or second week of november. This is a club only picnic and no other people/cars/clubs are invited. but you are welcome to come if you want and if the picnic still happens.

you guys SUCK...I WILL NOT PLAN THIS AGAIN..absolutely NO ONE showed!!!!
Precicely the reason I no longer try to organize meets or events. People say they will show and then never do.
 
hey rider, you still selling your car? i would hate to see you go, you have been one of the most involved members of the protege community in florida. but i guess the time comes when a car no longer has that appeal and you want to move on to something else, right? i want to get a mustang gt but i still love my car. can't picture myself getting rid of it.

it be interesting to see if the meet on the 23 happens...
 
im sorry but it is a tuff time right for alot of people. Ive spent way to much money with 3 hurricanes.

I agree that our scene so to speak sucks and i drive all over the damn place, but you picked a hell of a weekend for me, ive gotten like no sleep and infact i just got home... I dont mean to rain on your parade but the new date was hardly discussed. I think its tuff as well being a state that takes tons of time to get anywhere in... and honestly i think all the meets should be in ocala its a pretty centrel area for everthing and even quaterly meets would be nice.

Sorry man but it was planned for a specific weekend for a month, cancelled due to the hurricane, then not even discussed and planned for another weekend that people couldnt make.

A reschedule should be just that...rescheduled, not just "hey well do it on this date."

But I do know how you feel. I spent months planning a big ass weekend long camp and ride a few yrs ago for 4 wheeling. Out of the 75 or so that said theyd be there 10 trucks showed up due to the bad weather that weekend. I spent nites and weekends for 2 months and who knows how much $$ tearing my truck down and redoing almost all of it to make the ride too. Had I known only 10 would show, I wouldnt have bothered spending $60 in gas to drive 100 miles round trip. (shocked) Atleast I got all the stuff done to my truck that I wanted to at that time.

And for the record, I did say I couldnt make it. (wiggle)
 
dam dude sorry, I was planning on the first date. Got off of work and everything. Wasn't till that Friday that I read it was canceled. I didn't even hear about the new date till about 30 seconds ago. Sorry...
 
I appreciate those who posted and cancelled..But I had over 30 confirms and mostly from this board...I had like 2 or 3 cancels..NOT EVEN 1 person showed !!....I spent over $100.00 out of my pocket to get this together...I wont do it again...If anyone wants to get a meet together,let me know and I'll try and show,but I'm not going to organize another one
 
yea I didnt even know it had been rescheduled until saturday....I think that was the big factor why nobody showed...nobody knew about the reschedule....after 3 hurricanes most of us were spending the hurricaneless weekend repairing our homes...but i do feel ya and I know it sucks....
 
just for the record, i wasn't planning on coming but i knew it was rescheduled. :)
i mean, yo get all the replies in the mail so you don't even have to check back to see what is going on, just check the email.
