Tampa Bay meet

[mini_fd]

Are they having a get together tonight because of so I would be happy to drive out today since I have off. I didn't see if they did have one but I know they arrange it on wednesday.

[Phatmiata]

I need to get Scotty to post the info up in here like we use to. The forum can no longer be viewed by lurkers from what I recall, and the Admin there has a good screening process to weed out lurkers trying to scoop up items in our local FS section.

[mini_fd]

So nothing going on tonight eh? I'm ready to meet the west coast

[Spinnywhoosh]

Hey mini_fd, sorry no meet tonight. Next week! I just set up the event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/695090683898192/

[mini_fd]

If I'm off I'll show up

[Phatmiata]

If I'm off I'll show up

Cool, do we finally get to see this sexy black NB Miata??

[mini_fd]

Trying too. But also create and make friends.

[Unk577]

Come on out, I'll bring mine

[RoadsterTech]

Come on out, I'll bring mine

You have a sexy black Miata too?

[Unk577]

I'm pretty sure I have a can or two of black in the garage

[Agent☣Orange]

So without having to go to Facebook, the meet is Wednesday, July 16 at Rick's on the River.

[Agent☣Orange]

[Phatmiata]

Yes, but some are there at 5:30, and we stay as late as 10PM

[Unk577]

From Ft Myers you can get there by boat as well

[Unk577]

Mini_FD

Bringing any of the Orlando people with ya?

[Phatmiata]

its at Rick's cool, that should be a good location for a photo shoot

[mini_fd]

I have off. Now I'm very enticed to go. And of course no o en from Orlando would go. I'm not going to even bother asking

[Phatmiata]

The only ones that come from Orlando are SM16RMSM, and Mia95

[mini_fd]

i havent heard of mia95 in the longest time.

[Unk577]

Yeah I got the same response from the bums when I went to the Orlando meet. I won't get started....

[Agent☣Orange]

I'm trying to make these meets but rarely am up there on a Wednesday. Unfortunately, I'll be in the area on Thursday.

[Hammerhead]

It turns out we (the wife and I) may end up being at EPCOT for a concert on Wednesday. :roll:

Bring my diecast cars???

[Agent☣Orange]

I can if you're willing to meet me in St. Pete. Otherwise it's an additional couple of hours and 20 miles for me, each way, crossing bridges in rush hour traffic. Cheaper and far less frustrating to just mail from here. I was going to give you my HW display box though.

[Phatmiata]

no worries, we can meet up another time if come on this side of the bay for a Miata meet, or just put them in a flat rate USPS box and let me know the total.

[Agent☣Orange]

Would you like the big HW display? Yes, I'll make it to another Tampa meet. It's like the Mayan calendar where eventually, I'll get a Wednesday appointment the same day you guys have a meet planned.

[mini_fd]

So I'm going to be there tomorrow. I just don't know how to get there and I wanted to know if anyone wanted to do a run before or take some pictures

[Agent☣Orange]

Huh? Just plug it into Google Maps on your phone. The last few blocks are a little tricky if you haven't been there before.

[mini_fd]

Never have. But pm me if anyone has free time before hand

[Phatmiata]

Never have. But pm me if anyone has free time before hand

What interstate are you coming from? 75 North? I can meet you at the I-4 / 75 corridor if you want, I will be running a bit late though

[RoadsterTech]

Just come to Ricks and turn your radio up real loud.

[mini_fd]

I'm coming from Melbourne so I4

[Hammerhead]

Just come to Ricks and turn your radio up real loud.

It all depends on the weather. If it looks bad in O-town, I can make it to RotR.

[mini_fd]

Yeah hh come. Me and robbie are going from Melbourne and orlando

[Phatmiata]

Yeah hh come. Me and robbie are going from Melbourne and orlando

excellent!! Let the hazing begin!!! :slayer:

[mini_fd]

If any vendors are going and want to bring some goodies lmk while I'm here

[Hammerhead]

I am enjoying a cigar and a drink right now beforehand. What time will you guys arrive?

[Agent☣Orange]

Wish I were hangin' out there. :(

[mini_fd]

Just walked in the door. It was nice to meet different enthusiasts outside of orlando. I hope I can frequent now that I met most of you. And hope to meet those of you I haven't met. I got tied up with some refreshing information most of the meet.

[Phatmiata]

You forgot the photo of Roadster girl !!!!!

hahhahahaa Great pics man!! Sorry I did not have much time to chat, this turned out to be a big swap meet of parts, I sold parts to Hammerhead, and Carl, bought parts from FurryCurry, and Loren, and everyone was buzzing around like bees. Hard to keep track of everyone.

It was great to see some peeps from Orlando again! I saw RacerX, and Robert, and met MiniFD again, had not seen you since that big orlando meet.

Robert, what did you want me to change again? PM me your request, thanks!

[mini_fd]

His screen name. It's too confusing.

[Agent☣Orange]

Thanks for the picts! You guys had a great sunset. It's been storming and overcast here. Mia was there?

Mini_FD here's a link to the instructions for your window guides.

Knowledge is power(whp)

It was a good turn out. We should do a central florida meet once a month, say Lakeland Hooters one month than Hooters on Kirkland the next(just an example)

[Unk577]

Where are ALL of John's pics???!!!!!!!

[mini_fd]

Instead of once a month I propose every two months so it doesn't interfere with more local roadster meets and gives time to plan. Nothing huge or extravagant but to do a parts swap, chitchat, and enjoy the lifestyle. If we can do this, I believe we can create a tight niche

[Unk577]

I agrees

[Martin]

Oh cool. Damn, I need that shirt!
Mine doesn't fit quite like the one in Phat's pic :lol:

[Agent☣Orange]

Your man boobs are bigger?

[Martin]

Getting there. A few more cookies should do it.

[SM16RMSM]

SMHD16HiDMSMsomethingsomethingsomething :teehee:

Yea, It getting annoying. Gotta come up with something catchy first. I'll PM you when time comes.

Hey, It turned out a good size for last night. I rolled back into Orlando at midnight. It wasn't a bad drive. Driving home seems quicker then the drive out.

The odd thing did happen to me on the way back. I don't know how or why, but I got off I-4 at Par Street only to watch something roll past the car, my center cap. I was lucky it happened at the exit and not somewhere down I-4.

[Jscarrozzo]

New owner in Clermont. Would definitely be down to meet up with some local owners when I get it on the road. Should be registered in the next couple weeks.

Spotted Unk's bright blue NB at the Cars & Coffee in Tampa today. :)

Shhhhh.....hope you didn't spot me leaving:whistling:

When did they start holding C&C in Tampa?

[Unk577]

Reeves Motorsports first Saturday of the month for a long time now. DuPont is the 3rd Saturday

[Unk577]

Nope, time and place doesn't change. But if you need info then look at their Facebook pages, they always announce them on there

[Phatmiata]

Cool I'd like to check it out next time you go.

The forum can no longer be viewed by lurkers from what I recall.
Only certain parts of the Tampa bay Miatas forum are hidden to non-members. The "Regular Meetings" forum is not one of them. It's always been visible to anyone motivated enough to look:

I was just at Rick's on the River the week before last. My sister has moved to Tampa, my niece was home from college, and my Mom was visiting from Ohio so I took a drive over, sans Miata. My Mom and I went to Rick's one evening simply because I had seen it mentioned here and it was not too far from my sister's home. It was a nice casual place on the water where we could sit outside. It was enjoyable. I can see it being a nice place for Miatas to meet up. I saw one NC parked in the grass as I was leaving. I was, however, in an SUV. I imagine I may be back in the Tampa area every now and then going forward. Looks like I have a place to stay for Miatapalooza.

So, you braved the surrounding ghetto to get there? Huzzah!

Yeah, the neighborhood leading in looked a little run down but I don't know the area and I was following GPS so I really didn't notice it much. I noticed it a bit more as I was leaving but some of the best Dives are in the run-down neighborhoods so I don't mind. It's kind of an oasis. . . . this reminds me . . .

Thanks. If I had driven the Miata I would have. I'm sure I will be back that way again in the near future.
