You might check out Oldtown, near Disney. I've lived in Fl since 82 and never been there, but intend on going this year. I guess it is every Saturday night(?) and at the end of the show cars get to drive down the street which is lined with people. My Son Don has been there, I'm pretty sure.

Spent the last 20 years in the Sunshine State myself.

But as a member of the RED SOX NATION, I would never accept the label of being a yankee!

I'm up in Jacksonville,
The National Nostalgic Nova, Chevy II/ Nova Mini Nationals are at Old Town Feb 27th-28th and I think the 1st as well, I plan to have the Chevy II down there.

Been living in Florida for 5 years and before that visited in the winter months for 4 years. Took our motorhome to Key West for those 4 winters (now sold it) but there's no way that we could afford to purchase a home there! Settled in Weeki Wachee, above Tampa and it's a pretty neat place, lots of rods. Not too far from Plant City, Dade City, Orlando and a 2 1/2 - 3 hour drive to Daytona for Bike Week and the Turkey Run. About an hour to Garlit's place and not too much longer to Gainesville for the drags. No good beaches here though. Still trying to get used to the hot summers, we came from the Buffalo, NY area.

Oh, one thing I miss is playing hockey 3-4 nights a week and drinking beer/eating chicken wings after the games with alot of good buddies!!

NSRA905, if you're from Buffalo you must know Bob Schlack! Didja know he has a place in Lake Wales?

He's got a 32, a 29 and a 59 Chevy panel truck.

I've been "Wintering" in Orlando the last three winters, been here for two months and have two more months before heading home. Went to the Drag races once, swap meet at Sumpter, tomorrow the Ground Hog car show, the 15th I'll be at the Datona 500, planning on the non-billet car show in Ocala at the end of March, may be Bike Week........... Ya I'm loving this warm FL weather even though it was 29F last night.

Borned and raised here, 67yrs. Do that make me a "Florida Cracker"?
Just finished building a '32 Ford 3win. coupe.
