Attention All Orlando/Central Florida Members

Fcars4Ever — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:46:54 GMT

Are there any Orlando/Central Florida Members on here that would be interested in doing gatherings and runs/rallies in the future with other exotic and high end sports cars? If so, keep reading!

WHO AM I?
I am a huge car enthusiast that is new to Central Florida from the Northeast. It doesn't take a genius to realize that Florida has an amazing amount of exotic and high end sports cars rolling around. The problem is, I have yet to find a group of guys that are willing to get out and enjoy their cars for what they were made for; to be driven! When I was living in New Jersey, I coordinated and participated in numerous events in which large numbers of exotic and high end sports cars would gather, and then enjoy spirited drives to various destinations. Here are a few videos of events that I coordinated in the past:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elF4V1YLq8Y

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBt-d...eature=related

WHAT IS THE GOAL?
My goal is to organize events just like in the videos above. A typical event is comprised of a "meet and greet" at the starting point, a 50-100 mile cruise, and then arrival at a destination. The destinations vary from event to event. Sometimes a destination would be a restaurant for a nice lunch, or other times a destination would be a racetrack or go-karting track for all of the participants to put their driving skills to the test in a fun and safe environment. The events that I organize usually have some sort of a cause. In the past, I have put together events benefiting Toys for Tots and St. Jude Children's Hospital, as well as some other "just for fun" events.

WHERE WILL THESE EVENTS TAKE PLACE?
These events will mostly be coordinated throughout Central Florida and surrounding areas. For example, an event may have a starting point in Orlando and a destination in Melbourne.

WHEN WILL THESE EVENTS TAKE PLACE?
Ideally, I would love to organize my first large event soon after the holidays and the new year. Some smaller, impromptu events may take place before then, but larger events usually require at least a months time in planning. With the holidays right around the corner, attendance may be difficult for many. With that in mind, I am setting my goal on the first large event to be in early to mid January. Not only would this give sufficient time to properly plan and execute the event, but it would also be a great way to kick off the new year.

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?
This is the easy part. I am compiling a list of contacts for these events. All you have to do is send me a PM or an email with your name, phone number, email address, what you drive, and what town/area you live in.

Remember, the goal here is to organize events with exotics and other sports cars. Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Vipers, Corvettes, Porsches, Aston Martins, Lotus', GTRs, and M-Series BMW's are all welcomed. If you have a car that isn't listed above or you aren't sure if your car will qualify, feel free to ask. The events are not limited solely to the cars listed above, those are just a variety of examples of the types of cars we are looking to organize.

If anyone has any other questions, feel free to PM or email me. I hope to hear from many of you and I am looking forward to coordinating some exciting events!

I got the okay (kinda) from the wifey to go forward with a SC install.
She's not real keen on the first two estimates I got so I thought I'd throw it up here.

Anyone have any recommendations for shops to do a full turnkey install of headers, polished maggie, hood...... at a really great price?

Please PM me with recommendations (I don't want to miss any whne I'm not on here).

Thanks,

(MC) Cruise this Saturday the 21st

Elite�s Winter Cruise-In - Toys 4 Tots - @ Sears, Westgate Mall Spartanburg 11/21

EliteShow — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:46:47 GMT

Hey everyone, last year we hosted a cruise in Drive for Diabetes,
And the turn out and generosity of Spartanburg & Greenville people
was amazing despite it being freezing cold!!

Well... We decided to host another winter cruise-in,
this year we teamed up with the US Marine Corps to host Toys for Tots
event. Help collect toys for less fortunate children for Christmas.

If you�re already out at Westgate Cruising, this will give you a place
To park and chill, and not get ran off by police/security.

All Makes and Models Welcome! Bikes Too!

All we ask for in return is you bring a new toy with you.
It can be A $3.00 Lego or My Lil Pony if that�s all you can afford.
Anything is better than nothing to an unprivileged child on xmas day.
Open your heart, and come out and help us make this another
great event!!

Sears Auto Center, Westgate Mall Spartanburg SC
November 21st 6.00pm till 10-11pm

We hope to see you all there!!

khafe458 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:49:57 GMT

Anyone know of a good place to take my vette to get a new set of tires mounted and balanced? I have the tires already and just need to take them to a shop to get put on.

Thanks,
Kevin

Congratulations Jeremy Preston 2009 NHRA

HPSFLORIDA — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:15:18 GMT

Division 2 on your third place finish in Stock Eliminator. :hurray::steering: Our HP Sales of Florida prepared 2003 C5 had a great run in D S/A. The highlight of the year was winning the Stock Eliminator title earlier this year at The Gainesville race. This car is still a daily driver during the "off season".

This season has been very useful to us in testing products from top manufacturers in our corvette community. We need to especially thank Nick from American Racing Headers & Dave from Yank Converters.

We've discovered some areas to improve on over the Winter and look forward to getting the Vette ready for the 2010 NHRA & IHRA seasons.

Again, congrats Jeremy on a job well done.

Richmond Area Dealers? Dominion vs Heritage Chevrolet?

Valleybacker — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:17:55 GMT

It doesn't look like Dominion deals with many Vettes.

Heritage in Chester has a plethora of Vettes, and many Camaros. Plus i drove by the other day and there was a Corvette show in their dealership.

Anyone have any recommendations? Vette needs to have it's shift linkage checked out.
