I listed several events that occur in the Hillsborough, Pasco county areas during the week. There are others in Pinellas as well, just depends on:
1) What you're looking for? Vettes only or mixed?
2) Where you want to go?

On saturdays a lot of us (15+) have been meeting up at Andreh's shop, Insty Tune & Lube on North Dale Mabry Highway, just south of Bearss.

Yesterday, one of the guys brought a grill and Andreh hosted with burgers and chips.

I'm working on a sound system for us as well. If anyone has anything they want to donate to the cause, let me know?

This is turning into a very nice, family oriented event for saturday afternoon. We usually leave around 7:30-8pm and may go to one of the other shows (as a group), out on the town or whereever?

Come on down and join us. It really is a good time

Brad, on Friday, Fermans in Brandon is hosting a get together starting around 5 I believe? Jim, any more information on that? They did it last friday but I don't know how it turned out? They're meeting at the Corvette showroom (old Harley shop).

Also, if any of us have information regarding upcoming or recurring shows, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, feel free to place them on the calendar so everyone can see them.

Thanks,

Gordon

Brad and anyone else thats interested?

If you are looking for a place such as you describe with food, beverage and open arms, I can get with the management at Boston's on Anderson Road. They welcomed us with open arms last time we had a group there. We had the outside patio to ourselves (I'm sure we can arrange indoor seating if everyone preferes that?). The wait staff and management was great! and the food and drinks were very resonable

We also had plenty of room to park our vettes together.

There's also the movie theater, The Green Iguana and some other restaurants, all on the same property for after the meeting.

Any ideas or suggestions? Any interest?

I'm in Valrico. There's been a small gathering the past 2-3 Saturday afternoons in the JF Kicks parking lot on Lithia Pincrest just north of Bloomingdale...probably 15 cars or so. There were a couple of C3's there this weekend along with 2 really nice '69 Z-28's. Someone has a PA set up playing music and it looks like a few more cars show up each week. Also, there's a car show in Plant City on the third Saturday of every month that's worth going to...

Don't know if you can use it, but have a pioneer reciever I'd give up. Either that or it'll just stay unused till I get around to posting it here in the flea market or on ebay, or...even the trash.
