Welcome!

Hey, why don't we pick a night once a month and meet somewhere? I suggest the Sonic on Gandy in S. Tampa as somewhere that might be conveneient to both sides of the Bay? Any other suggetsions? Or a pub?

Sounds like a good idea. What about Kahuna's? It's a sports bar across the street from the dog track on the Pinellas side on Gandy. Name a night and let's see what kind of response we get.

This is a British pub that gives a 25% discount for dinner
the second Tuesday of every month.
There has been a British car night there for many years.

I've been to Cricketeers. Its nice, but its really out of the way for people from the east side of the bay, especially at rush hour. I work downtown Tampa & Cricketeer's is an hour drive for me after work, if there's no accidents & its not raining.

Anywhere along the bay would be the best whether in Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater. Someplace everyone can reach in a half hour or so would be most convenient.

Isn't there an Irish Pub on Route 60/Clearwater in front of the WalMart?

Hey Bob,
Great to hear from another motorer. I just got back from the Deal's Gap rally in NC & TN. Man that was great and I'm already wishing I was back there. What a beautiful area!
Anyways, welcome to MCO.
Check the MINI page of my site VinceAndJessica.com for info on a British car meet on the 2nd Tue of each month just up the road from you in Dunedin.
