To all you guys out of town wishing you could come:

If your bucket list is not in peril of exhaustion, your priorities are in serious need of reordering.

[Agent☣Orange]

Wow what an amazing spot !!!

If it weren’t for the girls coming off that nude beach trying to score free food, it would be better.

You going AO? would be great to see you again!

[joe morreale]

Any idea what time the St Pete caravan is leaving? I want to join in.

[MaRcOp01o]

I might be going! Would like to meet you Tampa guys.

[Agent☣Orange]

From the Gearheads forum:


OK, anyone from Port Charlotte and points south. We will be leaving from the Walmart parking lot by exit 170 I-75 at 9:15 AM for the next rendezvous point at Tap 72 bar at 5733 Clark Rd. Sarasota at exit 205 of I-75.

[Phatmiata]

Does that mean you are coming AO?? :whistle:

[Agent☣Orange]

Heck yeah! Riding shotgun.

I'll be headed down January 13th to hopefully take delivery... it's going to spend this winter in Florida and return to Maine sometime in the spring. If anyone wants to have a mini-meet sometime January 14-17th (I know it's a narrow window and all weekdays, but that's what I can do).

-Matt

[Phatmiata]

Matt we can do that for sure!! If you come to Florida in the winter you’re not gonna want to go back to Maine :lol:


For the guys meeting up today I’ll bring some drinks and Hot Wheels, I mean Hot Dogs.

Also will have some free MazdaRoadster decals for your cars, toolbox, fridge, whatever:)

[Agent☣Orange]

I loved staring at your Orange 30AE in my rear view mirror on the drive over, such a nice color!!!

[Phatmiata]

Here is a short video before the event really got started, we had about 3 times amount of cars that day.

I was really happy to meet most of you guys and wish I made it earlier. But next year (Or next big Tampa meet) I will be there in one of the Miatas.

[HarryB]

Looks like a great meetup; really jealous of the miata community over there!

Ha, no kidding? What a nice compliment - thanks! Yeah, it is indeed "unique", not something seen on the road very often. Even deer stop to look now and then.

So two things - I realized that was my first post here - wow - guess I've been lurking for too long! Second, I see I got a profile pic (from an admin or ?) - nice. Will see if I can post an actual one of mine.

[Agent☣Orange]

[MaRcOp01o]

I unfortunately didn’t a couple friends of mine were at Sebring for the classic 12 hours and if I went south I wouldn’t be able to make it to Sebring. And I would’ve love to gone in my miata instead haha
