My wife and me are spending our honeymoon holidays from April 19th to May 10th in the Orlando area. Is there a cars show or other hot rod related things that we can visit? We are spending the half of our time at the OWC, to do some wakeboard training but for the rest of the time we have no exact plans what to do. It is the first time in Florida for us. Are there some hot rod shops? I need some parts for my rpu.
Care to take a side trip? The NSRA SouthEast Nats are in Knoxville, TN, the weekend of May 1st. That's a solid one day drive from Orlando. They usually draw around 2,500 cars or so. The Nats are mostly street rods, but its still a good show. There are a lot of new product vendors, and a swap meet for old car parts. There are a few HAMBers up in that area, too. I'd be going, but I'll be stuck at work that weekend, again! Oh, well, it does pay for my hobby, though. Later, *****6.
I'll be up in St. Augustine meeting Dixiedog April 23-25, LA Quinta Historic District. PM before then if you want to hook up in the oldest city in the country.
Great, thanks guys. Nads I saved your no. Hotrodwalt saved your no. too To remember me, I'm 30 and have 2 rod projects, a 28 model A pu (will be soon converted into a rpu) and a 31 A coupe.
Don Garlits museum is about 1.5 hours north of orlando on interstate 75 just south of Ocala. Its right on the interstate. Lots of cool race cars, old iron and some rods. Sumter County swap meet is the first Sunday of every month. Its about an hour west of Otown, take SR50 west to 471 north to fairgrounds. Lots of my AV8 came from there. Enjoy central Florida there is so much more than the mouse. WHEN MEN WERE MEN AND CARS WERE STEEL
Here is my number 904-759-8517 if you make up to St Augustine or Jax. Hope you like dogs and cheap redneck beer if you come by
Dixiedog how far is this from Orlando? I Grew up with bullterriers and american stafford terrier (pitbulls), so I have no probs with any dog.
this is how it works over here. You get into town. spend some loot on some **** ya dont need. Call Nads, he calls me, you drop the wife off at his house and he brings you over to the shop where you spend more of your hard earned money. check out the GB and then we head back to his house to drink some cool american beers shop#407-854-8979 cell#407-748-2488 Mike

Hey repopguy, I have already only one, so I hope I can keep my last one till death. Did you americans can brew beer, the last time I drunk american beers I drunk 20 and it was the same like 3 german beers. (ok it was not so funny for you guys). Hell yeah, I hope my wife say yes when I show her this post, because she will visit the tourist things and I will do wakeboarding and make car related things only. Sounds great.
