Tampa Search
Checkin' in to see if there are any 8s meeting regularly in the Tampa area.

I should have put that thread title in bold!!
Okay, guess that answers my question. Second question, is there anyone that might be interested in meeting once a month to get something started? :rolleyes:
Here is a suggestion. I meet with the East Side Miata club every Wed at the Sonics on Hillsborough. I go because we also have a Miata, and we meet after work. So I am the only lonely RX-8 (honorary member) there. I am not into the street racing scene here (not knockin' it), but I do enjoy my car. If anyone is interested in meeting either you can respond to this thread, or stop by Sonics on a Wed after work and we can meet. Just a thought, any feedback would be appreciated. Mantis |
Actually a few of us were talking and we wanted to do a regular (first Sat. every month) Central FL meet. The next one would actually be in Tampa and we would rotate between somewhere around the CFL area to facilitate everyone's location. If you want to set something up I already know there's 3 or 4 of us that would roll out.

yeah im up for doing it near tampa and orlando, and maby even out at the east coast daytona area.
swaping locations, and stuff. id be in! |
I am in....now that I am an owner again. I wanted to make the August meet but with hurricanes etc didnt. Doesnt have to be an elaborate meet...just kinda center it around something simple.
|
So what about Nov 5th? Would everyone be down for a drive/meet?
EDIT I'm down for the 4th. |
got a wedding to go to that night...how about the 4th
|
I'm in. See you guys there :D
|
What about the Brandon area? Have you guys been out there before. It is a bit before Tampa. Nice area.
There is a brew house out there called Barley Hoppers and it has a large clean lot that has newly built shops that haven't opened yet that won't mind a crowd. Especially if we want to eat, which I will need to do if it is on Friday. http://www.mjbarleyhoppers.com/ I haven't been to the one in Ybor, so I don't know about the space there. The one in Brandon has outdoor seating so you can eat and talk and see your car. I'm down for any location though. |
I'm down if everybody else is. Guys?
Mantis: You would have to set all this up since you're familiar with the area. |
That barley hoppers place looks good. Friday, Nov. 4th sounds good to me.
I get off work at 4pm, plus i dont want to drive in traffic, if i can avoid it...what time would we need to leave, i have gone to the miata meet out in brandon a few times, it took about 1.25 hrs to drive it, all on I4. The orlando people could meet up and head down together. |
from south orlando to east tampa is about an hour...we should shoot for like 8pm dinner so we can slip by after rush hour
|
Yeah that sounds good. This will be cool, I will Have my MS front bumper on by then, and maby the MS side skirts..awsome.
epi, i dunno if I told you this already, but it just came to mind : if you ever want your windows tinted legal or illegal, whatever % you want, the guy that did mine does it for 120, i priced differt places and that seemed pretty good. just FYI This will be a fun meet, looking forward to it. Look at the place they have a beer sample menu, including one beer sampler with 34 1/4 pint samples of beer on it, sounds interesting. |
Sounds ok to me. You may want to think about having it at a different time, traffic around there @ Friday rush hour SUCKS. Let me know what the final verdict is. Thanks !

we should meet on idrive somewhere and leave around 7 for tampa
|
Another vote for pedro...I mean...Im in. Nov 4th sounds good.
|
Nov 4 is good here too. Just another suggestion for restaurants - what about Quaker Steak and Lube? Cool automotive-themed place that's very open to car shows. If you guys don't feel like switching up plans, I'm down the meeting at the other place. Just throwing it out there. :D
|
im down for the 4th, and I think the mjbarley hopers place looks cool, but i would be down for anywhere.
Meeting on Idrive is fine with me, There is a chevron right near the freeway on/off ramp, we could meet there, gas up if needed, grab soda/snacks whatever and head out. We still got a month to plan this, but Im just throwing that out there. |
Alright, sounds coordinated.
The Miatas' meet on Wed at that Sonics, so they won't be at Barley Hoppers on Friday. Do you want me to send an invite out to their club or keep it 8s? I figured BH would be a good place because the Orlando people won't have to go through malfunction junction. Sorry Sarasota driver, may want to take the Crosstown over and exit 13 towards Riverview. Then left on Bloomingdale. Its at the intersection of Bloomingdale and Providence (by the Publix). You guys pick the time, since I am the rookie here. I am driving from Clearwater, so I wont be there before 6:30ish. |
Ah, thanks for the help, but I'm actually coming from Orlando. I'm only in Sarasota when I'm home from school. I'll see you guys there though.
|
totaly looking forward to this.
|
Very, very cool.
Add a 2005 Titanium with MazdaSpeed wing to the list. ...and it's less than 3 minutes from home. Of course, the last RX-8 meet I attended took 14 hours to drive to, but it was at the Tail of the Dragon, so it was WORTH IT! |
Bump.. a.. bump.. bump..
|
can't wait!
i heart long distance cruises...where are all us orlando people going to meet? i propose the mobile at sand lake and i drive...depending on how many of us there is |
Ok. I thought we were meeting at the Chevron?
Anyhoo, let's meet there (whether it's the Chevron or Mobile) at about 6:45p. Gas up, get some munchies and roll out at 7 sharp. What do you guys think? We should get to Tampa by 8 or so. |
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:50 AM. |
