Hi Florida Opeler's!
Breakfast & Zephyrhills sounds good to me!
Andy we arn't ignoring you, just missed your posts. Send us a PM and we can meet up.
Zephyrhills is a great car show & swap meet, lots of stuff.

I'll definitely be there Saturday. How about breakfast around 10 at the Village Inn?
I've got a commitment on Sunday for an audio gig at my church.

aelegge · 10-28-2007

Village Inn where? Some of us aren't as familiar with the area, 10 on Saturday is good for me :-D

spamseptictank · 10-29-2007

Village Inn is in "downtown" Zephyrhills at the intersection of U.S. 301 and S.R. 54.
Yahoo! Maps, Driving Directions, and Traffic
Hope this helps.

Hey Aelegge
If ya'll have a meet in North Fla. Dont forget about your northern neighbors.
It would be nice to get together again.
Fla Ga game all over again.. who can put the most Opels on the state line.
Ya'll game?

Hey, I can bring 5 just out of my "herd"

blancojp · 10-29-2007

Guys!
Life is funny sometimes, I have been a Florida Opeler since 1988 and have never seen any one from the club. I did however move to Georgia and in the span of 3 months, I have actually met people and seen Opels.

Imagine that......

Dont sandbag BQS4 :-)

Yep, getting Florida Opel people together is hard to do!
Big state with lot's of people moving in and out.

Blancojp, you gotta call us or show up, to meet us! Imagine that..........
Florida Opeler's have met at Zephyrhills, just up the road for you.
I have met at least 25 GT owners in the Tampa Bay area over the years, still stay in touch with some of them.

I'm a member of a Vintage Triumph car club, Go-Kart Race club and a Motorcycle club. They meet at least once a month.
I don't have the time for that, but an Opel Zephyrhills meet a couple times a year is fun. Met some great people and a fun swap meet/car show.

I would be up for a FL/GA line meet, if we could get a few other local guys to go.

Maybe Florida Opel owners are too busy driving their cars......or working on them?

Lyle
PS: Anyone that wants to drive to Lakeland together send me a PM.
I have a few cell phone numbers, but let's exchange them again so we can get a hold of each other.

Hi GT Freak, seems like most folks are thinking Saturday.
Any chance you can make it?
Let us know.
Thanks
Lyle

Great!

If you and everyone interested could just Email me, we will try to get something organized.
We really don't have a "Club", but just a few local Opel folks in the Tampa Bay area.
So if everyone helps out with contacting other Opel folks they know......

Info we need:
Email address.
Cell number.
Basic car info.
City or address.

Craft59@aol.com
Clearwater, FL

1970 Opel Gt
Red/black interior
1900 modified with 4 speed
A/C
Running good.

Zephyrhills:
Yes or No?
Saturday or Sunday?
Bringing Opel?

Thanks
Lyle

Sadly, I am unable to attend any kind of get together at Zephyrhills this time. I just found out that I have a 13 hour show call on Saturday. Oh well. That's showbiz.
