An Ariel Atom is going to be there! Very cool, I've never seen one in person!

I wasn't planning on going, but I just signed up after reading this. Plus I just noticed the Alberts are going to be there. Can't even remember the last time I saw them, almost 3 years ago I guess.

The guy with the Ariel Atom is coming down all the way from Chicago. Did he hear about the world famous lunch? Or maybe that the F stands for Fun?

63 people signed up after 2 days. Man, the ones in St Pete fill up fast. Where are you guys when the event is scheduled for Brooksville?

I live in Pasco. I call St Pete "the sticks".

You scared me, Phil. Thought I had missed it...tried to sign up Friday, but I couldn't get to the myautoevents site due to either a temporary issue with MAE or my server at work. :roll: Just got in, though. 8-) Between now and the 22nd, I'll probably have to remove a couple of gallons of water out of my car. :whine:

Shop-vac for the carpet, then pull it up, vacuum out the remaining water, and leave a couple of work lamps on overnight to help dry things out. BTDT....

Thanks. However, this all assumes that I have a dry, covered place to put the thing. Unfortunatley, I have this damned Chump Car and related spares in my garage that no one else wants to take responsiblity for. :bangwall:

4 days of registration... 2 slots left.

If you know anyone who isn't registered yet and should be, better rattle their cage quick!

Don't know about Aaron, but for my car, only when I have to slow down. Most of the time. There are still a few people who aren't sure it has a top. :)

Actually, I don't even like convertibles and rarely have the top down. I am a ginger afterall. :mad:
So, if someone has a hardtop they want to get rid of... :thought:

I also will take a spare hard top if it's causing anyone headaches or taking up room in your garage.

If I can find a replacement battery box and hold down this weekend, I'll sign up for the first time in a LONG time!

Too late, Bill. We reached our 75-car limit several days ago. Unless someone cancels before pre-registration closes, you'll have to wait for another event.
