I'm gonna definitely try to be there. Just remember that when ten people say they will be there, only about 3 will actually show. I'll know for sure closer to the date.

I'm coming for sure. Where's it at though? Not sure how to get there from Brandon.

I really haven't posted much on this forum, just kind of linger around, but would definately try to be there. Is this for sure gonna be on the Pinellas side?

It would be nice to get a decent turnout. Would hate to only have like 3 people show up. LOL

I'd show up, but...
a- My car is filthy and I need no photographic evidence of this
b- I am old & crotchety
I don't read the regional sections of these forums often enough. I am, however, still active with the Florida MINI scene, even though I traded my MCS for an MS3. Prior to that, I was a founding member of the Southeast chapter of the Supra Owners' Group, International. SO I have been to a few car club meets around town over the years...
Suggestions on meeting places:
- Quaker Steak & Lube. 49th Street, Pinellas Park. Outdoor seating, HUGE parking lot.
- Fort DeSoto State Park. If you call ahead, you can reserve a covered pavilion in case of rain, etc., or you can just show up & grab some picnic tables & BBQ grills out in the open. Some good photo spots out there, too.
- If you wanna get into the sticks, Maddard Park in Turkey Creek is a good public park with grills & such. But it is out there a ways.
- MacDinton's Irish Pub, South Howard Ave in Tampa. Again, recommended for outdoor seating, but the parking lot is mostly dirt. And do NOT try to gather there on a Fri/Sat night.
- O'Toole's Irish Pub, Brandon Blvd/SR 60, Brandon. Outdoor seating (screened in to keep bugs out) and a decent sized parking lot, largely on the side & back of the building.
- For a short drive, check out the Sarasota Classic Car Museum. Nothing real exciting, but a nice little collection of classic cars & an old man in polyester pants who smells like talcum powder will give you the nickel tour.
- Limey's Pub in Pinellas County... I forget the location right now, but it's a British pub with pretty good food. Only drawback is small parking lot on site. Patio seating available.
- I am not a big fan of their food, but Sonic's Drive-in setup is great for car club meets. And they are popping up all over, so easy to find one local to you. With a decent camera, all their neon lighting can make for fun car photos at night.

As far as I know it is. I haven't seen otherwise. I'll be going for sure.
this is still going on tomorrow.. people are meeting on the pinellas side across from the boat ramps around 3/3:30ish. The plan is to hang out,take some pictures, either cook out or go and get some food. Then some are going to hang out till the races. Ill probably be there for the pics and food, no late night for me.
here is a rundown of how many people will be there.

greetings Just bought a speed 3 so I don't feel the need to MOD
we'll see how that lasts
been in VALRICO bought 5 years driving the blackandwhite/green corolla
barnacles would be good,
another option is the green iguana in the winthrop, bigger lot to hang in
This meet was mainly organized on another forum. I brought it here to try and get more people to show up. And it worked(alright). Anyways, check out the SU forums for meets since your local. This part of the forum here is dead and only the southerners keep it going...lol (shrug) I think all the tampa people on here are the ones that posted in this thread, its all good though.
