Anybody interested in this... it's May 25th:

8:00 AM - 3:00 PM. Held on the grounds of Cypress Gardens, 6000 Cypress Gardens Boulevard, this open-to-all show is limited to 180 vehicles, and includes two park passes (a $90 value), 116 total awards, and dash plaques to all pre-registered vehicles. Pre-registration is $25, day of show is $30. This is a Premium event. For more info, call (727) 547-8082.

 

I called on this yesterday. They said the best thing to do is to register online and print out the registration confirmation and bring it with you. The site is www.premiumcarshows.com. Thy said they have 90 something cars pre-registered right now. Registraion at the show is from 8-noon and awards are at 3pm. They only take 180 cars so pre-registering is probably best. If anyone wants to meet up and go together let us know. Jon & I will probably get there for 9am.

Dave can go with me, so it looks like I'll be taking both cars... I'll preregister them now.

Post here if you are able to go, or not.

 

Ah, an open to all show. I'm in, bringing two cars. 02 Neiman-Marcus, and my 07 improved Redfire GT. I'll register them both under Nature Coast Mustang, help us get one of those club awards.

 

I'll do the same thing... we'll see you there!

 

Hey Dave.

Let us know if you want to hook up and cruise over together

Kat

 

Id be interested, but Im not sure if my car is good enough to show.

 

Rubbish!

I might be up for this one.

 

+1 Rubbish. Only 180 cars are allowed in, there are 116 trophys being awarded. All you have to do is PRESENT your ride. CLEAN IT. If you can touch any part of the car with your finger, that part needs to be clean. Pay particular attention to Engine Bay, and Wheels. Stock cars DO WIN TROPHY's

Be there!!

 

+2... bring it!

Dave and I will be there at 8:00...

 

Hate to miss this show but we will be on vacation. A cruise to be exact

 

Yep, I think I'm going to be in St Pete Beach for the weekend.

 

Well, I'll see whoever's going tomorrow!

 

Kat & Jon, with their Snake. Ann & AL blk/tan 05 Vert, Me with T-Bird. Possibly Kirk with 77. and possibly Jamie with Cobra. Thats all who would confirm at the meeting. A late rain is forcast, bring a poncho, or umbrella. (My wife cannot make it so only bringing one car.) My older sister may join me, if not, then its the Mustang.)

 

Congrat's to the trophy winners. The words "Open Show", was apparently the key phrase. I'll pass on this show next time arround. We were packed in like sardines. Had anyone needed to leave, or had there been an emergency, they, we, would have been in deep doo-doo. One engine fire, and it would have taken out a lot of vehicles. We were all parked door to door and bumper to bumper with barely enough space to stake claim for chairs. There was a hodge-podge of vehicle types, all mixed to gether, sorted ony by year grouping. Pre 48, 49-60, 61-70, 71-85, 86-99, 2000 and newer. Street Rods and Motorcycles had their own class. So foreign, stock, modified, trucks, jeeps, muscle, and daily drivers intermingled those classes. It mattered not what type of vehicle you had, you were welcomed in and all judged on cleanliness. So if that 2000 beetle was cleaner that your 500 HP, you lose. If that stock F150 was cleanner than BigFoot, he won also. Hey even that Toyota Yaris brought home a trophy. Specialty cars mattered not. Now I know it seems like I'm dissing the show, but there were a lot of good choices also. The Local Mopar group there got the Club particiapation Trophy and Money. The trophy's were awesome, except that if you dindn't get the Best of Class one, they were non descript for what you get one for.

Holding it at Cypress Gardens was a treat. By touring the park, it got you out of the 95+degree heat, and there was actually a breeze down by the shops in the park itself. I was able to snap a few photo's and will have them up by this evening. I took a couple of ariel shots from one of the rides, of the show field, so you'll see what I mean by how tiight we were parked.

 

We had a good time... the only bad part was the parking. Ashley and I went on almost every ride - the lines were short in the beginning of the day.



I don't remember trying to kiss the trophy girl, though:
