I'm here!

I've been a member since 2000. For a while I tried to stir up interest in a local club with meetings at a local Hooters. I joined with some Mark VII guys from a different forum and had as many as 15 Marks at some of our meetings. Typically there would be about half that number. After a while everyone just lost interest.

I'm here in panhandle also along with "Iowncars" lives near me. My schedule is kind of wacky now, but if i ever get the Mark put back together, I'll send you a PM.:)

it seems more people on the board here are showing up in florida, but not all of them are paying members so they cant post here yet. i'd like to try and get something put together for all of us, mark 7's, mark 8's, t-birds cougars anything, i had a very cool turn out last summer with about 12 mark VIII's and a few of the birds from the area and we had a cook out at howard park in tarpon springs. we can do it again, you can even swim since howard park has a nice sugar sand beach sticking out into the gulf, there are pavillions, no renting them needed, free park, free parking, play ground for the kids and tons of on site charcoal grills. their are even public restrooms. its a great place to have a meet. who's interested?
some pics from last summer.

I could be up for something like that. I've got a good friend in Clearwater I need to see sometime. I'm pretty booked until the end of July, but would like to get down there in the fall.

Ok, I know this is going to be considered a Zombie thread, but I will take the heat for resurrecting it as I wish to know:

How many members of LOD/LOD forum are in the Central Florida area? DieselDan and I have already talked as he is just south of Kissimmee. I am moving back to the area (mom and dad are in St.Cloud) and will be looking for other MKVIII crazies to hang out with/learn from. I will be working in the Casselbury area and may be living in that area as well (Casselbury/Maitland/Altamont Springs). If you are a forum member and can't reply here, you can PM me and I promise to reply. if you are an LOD club member, reply here (or you can PM me as well). Thanks guys, I want to learn from you all and work this car of mine into the best Half-Breed MKVIII I can.

Looks like I will be the LOD scout in Central Florida, huh? I'll do what I can to bring Florida back into the LOD fold!

After bouncing around Central Florida for 6 months now, I have yet to come in contact with other members (might be my work schedule partly to blame). I have seen over a Dozen MK VIIIs now, with none being in the club or on the site. In fact, most were either trashed or driven by their original owners!

Ok, once I get my car back together, I would like to host some sort of MKVIII meet-up here in Florida. I see sooooo many VIIIs in my travels, some HAVE to be either LOD or LVC members. Maybe we could do a joint meet-up.
