well I have an extra lens you can use for the day. What kind of a camera do you have? I actually just picked up a 55-250mm brand new for $149 for my canon. I have a 15-55mm that you can use if you would like.

In regards to the meetings spots, I remember meeting up at the Gandy bridge for tamparacing meets back when I was 17, lol. So that would be my only other suggestion. Other than that, count me out on suggestions.

I Just got off work ,i have a Canon EDS with 35-80mm with 3 off those prongs on the back side. But thanks anyway i dont think ill be using it any time soon.it cost more to take pictures with it than yours does cause it uses films instead off an sd card.

And yeah i do remember gandy you know it was badass when the big dogs roll up in lambos and vipers back in the day. wish i coud say the same these days but yeah

I should be able to go. Would be cool for Orlando group to drive out together.

We should put some more info in FLorida thread.

Would be nice to get some of the Jacksonville (Fyah and Diddy are real highlights) and S. FL guys (come on Rockstar and Co.) to make it as well.

To those of you with coilovers... I'm interested in upgrading and would like to ride in cars with different setups. I would really like to ride in cars with Tein SA and SB coils to see if I really need adj damping.

Hopefully we pick a good location where I can get some nice rolling shots. I haven't gotten to play with my camera in awhile and want to take some badass shots.

Al Lopez is always an option, as is any beach or parking lot off of one of Tampa's many bridges.

Also, this popped up on my news feed and I thought I would share it with our AZ crowd: https://www.facebook.com/events/163696643799057/

^^ looks like that will be a good meet!

Looks like if everything continues going right i should be available to go. So far wifey works that day and i dont have anything big pending so i'm keeping my fingers crossed because usually something comes up that keep me from going to these things.

Orlando-to-Tampa crew still a plan?? How many so far? Where and what time to meet up?

Looks like I might be able to make this, but I won't know for sure until later next week. If I can I am definitely down to ride with the group from Orlando.

That location looks pretty good. What's the parking situation like?

Did we decide on a time yet?

That background looks perfect for a photo shoot. Let's meet there. Please share the nearest address to that location and lets figure out a time... It would be nice to get some sunset shots so later in the evening might be good.

I know we're still a week out, but do we have any ideas on the start time and duration? I have to be back in Tampa by 3:30-3:45, so morning/early afternoon would be preferrable (for me at least - "The needs [wants] of the many outweight the needs [wants] of the few, or the one").

And definitely an address so i we can figure out our ride times to meet up. First Location doesnt have to be our permanent spot cause id like to maybe cruise the city a little to. Get some rollin shots.

The earlier the better because we all know there is no escaping those afternoon showers. I would actually like to be on my way back before the showers begin. Why not be at Tampa meet site by 11am (which means Orlando crew will huddle up around 8:30-9 before driving over).

Sound good??
