Would be great to meet up , just give me time and place.

Thanks,

It looks like we have 5 cars for this event. I'm going to go to Margharita (Suncoast Porsche) and see if she'll chord off an area for us in the center of the cirlcle. I don't think they do that, but can't hurt to try.

She'll probably want to pin me down for a time, so let's say 0930 and I'll say 5 cars.

So pls confirm yr attendence and if you haven't registered yet and got yr wrist band, then you need to jump on it.

I believe I’m the farthest north of the event, and will be going SR56 to I275 / I75 south, anyone have an idea where to meet up? I think Mark is the farthest south do we want to meet somewhere south of Riverview off of I75?

I got the following reply to my request for a 928 grouping:

'We will be having 100 plus cars arriving starting at 8am and throughout the morning, so if your group arrives all at the same time we can get you parked all together. I can’t guarantee the center as that is usually the last spot filled but we will do our best.'

I would say arriving in the 0830-0930 range would be best. I've come in as late at 1300 and still got a spot, but never know where you'll be.

Let's meet on I-275 somewhere between Westshore and the Gandy exit

As far as a train on 75:
Trying to get my wife and brother to be on time is like physics looks good on paper but try to replicate the results in the real world, good luck. We are shooting for around 9 we can try to reserve a spot Gary's car is down so a new head count maybe in order.

If you haven't done this before, Suncoast puts on a buffet lunch right there in the center of the circle at Noontime. Need yr wrist band. Bring some portable chairs, sunscreen and hats. By 2:30-3PM it starts breaking up. Lot of traffic down there. They set up ramps on the Southwest side of the circle to go over the curb and into the grass area. One car at a time. lots of boutique stores in the area for those not car inclined (and lots of expendible income)

Hey Gentlemen,

To echo the response you received about parking in the middle, we never know exactly what time and how many cars will show up, so arriving a little earlier as a group will give you the best chance of parking in a group. If you have any questions or don't received your wristband by today give us a call and we'll set them aside at Will Call. See you all on Saturday!

I'm coming out of South Tampa, cross the Gandy bridge and will meet anyone at the WaWa gas station on Gandy just West off 275. Say 0900?
