I'm in for 11:00 AM. Time to start detailing. Darn afternoon showers and wet roads dirty up the ride, so will have to wait until the morning of to do the exterior. Downtown St.Pete sounds good as a starting place - can't think of a Tampa equivalent that looks as nice as that area. Looking forward to Saturday!!!

I got a set of Tein SA's w/ the recommended settings. Haven't really played around with the damper settings, but you are more than welcome to ride. Maybe you can also tell me if it was worth the extra $$

That works for me as well, if I can make it. What time are you thinking? We should probably plan meet @ 8:30 and leave Chili's by 9:00.

Dali Museum sounds good! I was looking on Google Maps and found a decent amount of parking spots on the water that could be a great photo spot (assuming it's not crowded of course). It is located on "Dan Wheldon Way" near "Albert Whitted Park".

Here is a visual:

Crap, I have a 11:45am appointment to take my dog to the vet on Saturday. I'll probably be able to meet at 12:30 since I live in downtown St. Pete. Hopefully you guys will still be around.

Its a couple threads under this one. Its more of a small get together from what Im reading. But either way, there are a couple cars getting together that day out there. No specifics just yet. Im tuned in to see what the final word is.

Alright guys! It's only a little more than a day before, and we have no time, definite place yet? I think 12pm is prob good for everyone, in that people coming from out of town can leave at a decent time.....

Can't wait to see/maybe ride in Mas's Supercharged TL!

It's 11am at the Dali Museum (address on page 2).

Orlando crew is gonna meet at 8:30 and leave at 9 which puts us there at 11 easy.

Ps.....this is the first trip out of town trip since the S/C install so I'm a little nervous, especially since I'm still tweaking a couple things.

PsPs.....if people looking to sell or buy any mods, it wouldn't hurt to bring them......good opportunity to avoid shipping costs

Unfortunately it's looking like I won't be able to make this meet. I've been working late every night this week and I'm expecting the same tonight. I've got too much crap to catch up on this weekend to be gone for most of Saturday.

Hopefully I'll make the next one! Sorry rawkuss, looks like you'll be the only 4G.

Sorry to add one to the cancel list fellas. Driving from Ocala for a late morning Tampa meet looked great until a couple of days ago. Hoping the schedule would clear but it has not. Should be a hell of a meet though.

Just an idea to keep the momentum going but it seems like there's some willingness to go back and forth on I-4... maybe the Tampa and Orlando crews could alternate host cities for central Florida meets? Either way I'm looking forward to attending in the near future and meeting some of you in person. Have fun everyone.

wow, not looking good. Hopefully by tonight more people get on the list.

I would love to hang out but I'm not sure I'll take that drive for just 1-2 cars. I'll keep checking in through the evening.
