I thought maybe some kind of window sticker but most people are out walking around.

Gene Riffe [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Saint Petersburg, Florida   Posted by orphans2  -  10/12/2007 10:49 PM Tickets - Your money gets you two adult tickets. If you need child tickets, you can usually get a minimun of two at no cost. maybe more if you speak nicely to the person. But their interrpretation is wrong. They also tell you no food or drinks are allowed to be brought in and no dogs. We I saw at least 10 dogs, and every body had coolers and food. Jerry - saw two black Zephyrs, which one do you want me to check out???? Can do both if I can find them again, but would be useful to know which one you are interesed in. orphans2 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Stewartstown, Pennsylvannia Charter Member since November 2001   Posted by hotrodgene  -  10/12/2007 10:57 PM I also saw a black-red interior Zephyr from Fl.and it have all Ford running gear.I talked to owner and he said he did not kow why anyone would want his car looked at since it is not for sale and only has 30 miles on it.So there must be another one. Gene Riffe [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Saint Petersburg, Florida   Posted by BigAlBre  -  10/12/2007 10:57 PM Gene I am up on the west side (where you enter) at the edge of the trees facing the entrance drive...

Will try to catch up with you tomorrow. We will definitely be back on Sunday as my father in law's 58 Chevy custom won and award. It was the red scalloped one sitting in the intersection across from you. Originally couldn't find you on Friday because I was looking for a different SR.com canopy. Think the one you have now is not the same as what you had in York a couple of years ago. orphans2 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Stewartstown, Pennsylvannia Charter Member since November 2001   Posted by hotrodgene  -  10/14/2007 01:14 AM Al we stopped by to say hi but you were not there at time.Did meet Jim Grace who inderuced him self.I plan to go to one of his shows in Dade City.Al if you want maybe we can hook up and take our cars to Dade City.I will be back tomorrow to win the grand prize.Nice pics.only problem didn't see mine,HA-HA Gene Riffe [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Saint Petersburg, Florida   Posted by BigAlBre  -  10/14/2007 11:00 PM OK Someone in Tampa, I didn't get his name, won the Chevy HHR, my friend Mike Scheller was one of the top picks... congrat's Mike... and long distance went to a couple from Washington state... a recently retired marine with 41 years in the corp who has just returned from Irag....

The standing ovation was a good thing. The long distance winner sho was from Washington state was another gentleman. They will all be listed in Street Scene in a couple of months. orphans2 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Stewartstown, Pennsylvannia Charter Member since November 2001   Posted by BigAlBre  -  10/15/2007 03:11 AM Orphan.... thanks for straightening that out....

[ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Saint Petersburg Beach, Florida Charter Member since June 1999   Posted by fordorfrank  -  10/15/2007 02:18 PM Great weekend! Good weather. Hadn't been to Tampa in a few years. Got to meet BigAl and Dixie. Nice to be able to put a face and personality with forum posts. Sat with Al for a while on Sunday morning - he had a great spot right where all of the cars come in. Saved a lot of walking. But I walked anyway. Hanging out at Headquartes hotel evenings is fun because most people are with their cars and you get to chat. Returned to my police car at one point and the gang from Specialty Car Marketplace magazine was taking pictures of my car. Just for fun, I guess, as it's not for sale. So I got out my police stuff - hat, handcuffs, plastic donut, etc. - and they did a bunch of gag shots - spread eagle leaning on the car, cuffed, etc. Lots of laughing by all of us. Said they might run it on the cover of next issue. fordorfrank [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Melbourne, Florida   Posted by tlp1968  -  10/15/2007 04:03 PM Congrats Frank, will you still talk to us when your car is a big cover model- LOL StreetRodding.com Marketing Director [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Springfield, Illinois Charter Member since August 2003   Posted by fordorfrank  -  10/15/2007 04:19 PM Dunno.
