Not sure how many people are in the Tampa Bay area and would love to meet up with anyone on the west coast of FL.. I met a couple of people when I went out to Orlando a couple weeks ago but they are kinda far from me (traffic is terrible) and would love to meet some other members.

@Davebeats do you need to sign up somewhere? Want to meet up before and arrive at the same time.. I can make that work.

Na this one is a free event, I went last month and there was about 50 cars, so it's on the smaller size.

There's a dunkin / mobile gas station about 2 minutes North we can meet first (6017 W Linebaugh Ave, Tampa, FL 33625)

 

[Inilep]

I probably can't swing that, but I will see if i can make it a little after it starts

 

[Davebeats]

I was thinking 830 or 9 arrival, probably hang out for an hour or so

 

[RyanGphoto]

How about meet at that dunkin at 9. Go from there. I'll pm you my info in case anything comes up

 

[Davebeats]

Ok that sounds like a plan

Just an FYI....
Florida legislature is currently working Senate Bill SB 92 through its process. The importance is its inclusion of a front license plate in addition to the rear for all cars. If passes,as currently written, this law would require front plates beginning January 1, 2026.
I will be sending to my representative in the House and senator in the Senate a request this be defeated/removed.
Primary sponsor is Senator Joe Gruter who will also receive request. I noted just this am that he has feedback from constituents and legislators requesting removal and says he will; but, haven't seen new modified bill yet.
Good to read, but still sending.......perhaps others have additional/more current info.........

It was great meeting you at the Cars and Coffee Davebeats and RyanG. Love your cars.

 

[Davebeats]

Likewise , and crossing fingers the tariff situation is resolved quickly and doesn’t delay your delivery.

Small victory; got report from senator Gruters that constituent and legislative feedback has resulted in removal of front plate requirement from bill...............

Awesome! This had me getting ready to make calls, send emails and even buy stamps for the first time in over a decade..

It would have accomplished nothing so glad that's DOA.

Now inspections on cars I can get behind... tired of cars with bumpers being held on by string or just completely missing. It's just dangerous.
