This is what Turbett is talking about.. Bayshore Blvd from Clearwater to Safety Harbor has several great curves and is a much nicer drive than going up US 19, especially if there's no slow-pokes in front of you. For anyone coming across the Courtney Campbell Causeway from Tampa, watch your speed while on the causeway since cops love to radar.

 

I think she's also opting for a run down Westshore Blvd. to Gandy, then east to Bayshore Blvd. (on the Tampa side) Then Bayshore to Channelside (roundabouts) to Ybor.

 

Sweet!! Gotta love the twisties!!!!

 

Marsha and I plan to be there arounf 5 pm Friday, anyone else going to be at Redroof then.? (Friday evening for drinks)

I will be wearing a "Orange County Sherriff" ball cap.

Tom & Marsha

 

Tom and Marsha, My wife (Noreen) and myself (Bruce) will be there around 3pm or so. We drive a EB/B "S" with Blue flames on the roof. We will look for you then.

I haven't heard back from Andrew either????
We should all wear our MCOL tshirts so we can
let some newbies see what they are missing.

 

Alright! Got my room at the Red Roof Inn in Palm Harbor, and sent my pre registration email to Kadie. Looking forward to meeting everyone, see you there!

Hey Joe what rate did the Red Roof give you??

 

I think it was about $68 (give or take a buck or two), for 2 single beds. Nothing cheaper, a King was $10 more. They didn't know of the $55 rate I heard some people got. Maybe I left it too late!

Just phoned downtown MINI, they are taking my car in 9:00 Friday morning to look at why I have an airbag light on. But Ron there is hopefull it will be a quick fix so I should get the MINI in back to attend. Keep your fingers crossed for me!.

:smile:

 

Hey Mr. Rock...AKA Pebble..Hope you make it. Got everything crossed that I am able to. Picture that. Better not. MCO shirt here to.

 

So, I'm getting ready to leave tomorrow for my big trip south!!! I can't wait to see all of you! By the way...Saturday is the big Final Four Game-Syracuse vs. Texas, not sure what time yet, but I will definitely be looking for somewhere to watch it-I'm a huge 'Cuse fan!!!!!

We will be staying over night on Saturday also. This game is a must see. We will have to find a sports bar close by and watch the game. 2minis....know of any place to watch the final Four on saturday close to the hotel??

 

I'm going.. I'm going.. I'm going.. Dad is coming, too.. I'm going.. I'm going.. Is the weekend here yet??

Can't wait!!!! lol..
Go ahead and add xxTHIR13ENxx to that list, thea'!

See y'all there (literally)
Leo.

 

I think I'm staying over Saturday night too... I found a rate of $58 at the Red Roof Inn on Expedia.com... I don't think I wanna do the whole 3+ hour drive there and back in the same day. As a former New Yorker (Lawnguylander actually) I'm all for the ORANGE! Would love to share a few (or more) beers with you guys during the game on Saturday night!

GO ORANGE!

FOR SALE

I bought by mistake a Red Billet Radiator Cap from Moss. It has never been on because it won't fit my car. It is for Coopers Only. My mistake. I will sell it for what I paid. If you are going to Tampa for Fermans Birthday I will be there and have it with me. $45.00 is the price. That way I don't have to ship it back. PM me or post it if you are interested.

>>I *might* stay over Saturday night...not sure yet...so that would take care of the "fifh wheel" problem, Mr. T-Mack....lol.

Woo! Stay Holly!

I'm sure the "after party" will be as fun as the Ferman thingy (and I sure would love to have your company!) If one of us MCO'ers wins the trip to Oxford, they need to buy everyone drinks Saturday night!!!

 

That would be me T-Mac....What are you drinking?? I never win anything, so who am I kidding.

 

Count me IN.

I'll be there on Sat. or Friday if you all are meeting for drinks. Tell me where...

Kesh

 

Staying over too, I'm up for drinks!
