Wow! I need to find a way to make it down there next weekend. You gonna be there?

[xscribe]

I am going to be there.

[dvlbug]

That's close enuf for me to make a road trip! (4 hrs) Hope to see you guys there!

[Tearstone]

This throws me being in the air cooled forum. I feel like if we went, we would be surrounded by a bunch of old bugs and that makes me uncomforatable.

[xscribe]

I have posted before on the Events Announcement page only to have nobody show up.

[scarabY2k]

Well, looks like i'm missing this event by one day. I'll be in Tampa on Sat the 19th, sadly for a funeral- early A.M.

Hey you guys who haven't checked out the Tampa GTG thread, we're planning a Strawberry Festival GTG- Hope you all can make that one Here's the link.

Awesome- At least I can make it to that one. I've been wanting to hang with your crew for a while anyway. I'll be there with camera in hand Do you have my cell#? I'll PM it to ya.

[xscribe]

I wrote it down and I still have the pm you sent me. I just have to remember to put it on the cell phone itself. I forgot when I went to bug jam.

[xscribe]

A small group of people also get together and get something to eat before hanging out at the bk. I can give you a call if you would like to join us for that too.

dvlbug if you still make it I will be in the slightly beat up red 1967 vw beetle with the chrome roofrack. See you there! (I hope)

unfortunately the weather did not hold out for us - it started pouring (all day) and turned cold and lucky me I got a sinus infection - hopefully we'll be able to make it next year - post pictures *sigh* this would have been my first bug show

You were not alone. I was in the Tampa area Saturday and was gonna meet up with Rafel and the Tampa for their Sat. night dinner and BK meet. Needless to say we received buckets of rain and was under a TORNADO WARNING for most of the evening. Of course things were canceled for Saturday and I had to drive back to Jacksonville that night. Hopefully things will be nice and dry for the Sunday show.

[dvlbug]

yeah it sucks got up this morning and the sun was shining and (although chilly) it looks nothing like the last 2 days we've had - makes me mad we didn't just get in the car and drive down now - especially since today is the first day i've felt better in a month! and now have nothing to do =(

[xscribe]

I will post the next show. On the events announcment thread. btw it was a very good show. There were many people and lots of door prizes. Everybody I know had a good time. It ran smooth like a show that has been around awhile.

[Tearstone]

Don't you guys normally post events in the regional forums? We are from Orlando and have been looking for some local meets.

[xscribe]

There is really good show in Orlando coming up in March. The Orlando Show n Shine. Here is a link that will be helpful. sevwc planner
I have no pictures because my day was very long and by the time I got there I was worn out. I just walked around and talked to people.
The 67 beetle had a couple of fuel problems. The car ran out of gas and the fuel pump worked out a part and it was not working. It took a couple of minutes to fix both problems. But I fixed the next day. On that day I had to get the car towed and I made it to the show 2 hours late.
