Nice to have another FL Opel owner close to me.
A few Opel folks around our area.
We rarely get together.......busy laying at the beach watching the girls or working on our Opel's????
No club that I know of.
We meet at Zephyrhills car show/auction once a year.
Like Gene said, look at the member list, maybe you can organize a meet!
It's so hot right now, A/C is working but struggling to keep my GT cool.
Send me a PM.

Tinkering is my name..fun is the game
This and that
I'm in Orlando near UCF.
I have never seen an Opel Gt on the road since I got to Florida in 2000.
I've had mine a few months now. Still looking to put A\C in her, but she's my daily driver now!
The only time I don't use her is when I'm towing my skis, going to Lowe's for supplies, or when I REALLY need to get somewhere on time -
I have to figure in a 20 minute delay for every stop I make, because of the people who stop me to ask about the car!
worked on the ascona today,,,tracing fuel gauge problem,,sending unit checks out gauge works too ,break in the wire suspected somewhere..
all other gauges working ,,located a brand new master cyl today

I have issues with my fuel gauge too. I found that on mine there is a bad connection in the big plug that goes into the gauge cluster. I haven't really figured out if its in the plug its self or the gauge cluster. I can move the whole wiring harness up by the plug and get the gauge to work (for awhile). Nothing else in the cluster seems to be effected and works properly so i don't know lol.
well what was wrong with the gas gauge was loose connection on the nut that connects the gauge to the foil circuit... tightened it up and replaced the terminal on gas tank module now it works fine,,i driving every day,,,lol i took the car down to local car show and won a trophy!!!lol 19 cars and 20 trophys so,,im working on the brakes ,have to make all new lines for the rear,,,also replaced muffler and made new tailpipe...thanks im so happy i get to drive an opel,,,,gets lots of looks i put the stock rims on with new rubber(easier to steer)
