Re: Hello from Florida
Welcome to the forum. You're not the only one getting old. I had some clever thing I was going to say, but I forgot what it was. Enjoy.

Hey, grant. Welcome.
Got any pictures of that great body, or the bad engine?

Re: Hello from Florida
My avatar shows a small picture of the car. The body is really good with only minor rust picked up over the last few years..I can tell you how long I have had it.I belonged to FLU and went to freak out at Biltmore..The moter in the car has a broken valve compliments of my stupidy....hope to hear it run sometime this year

Re: Hello from Florida
Welcome to the forum. Or welcome again, as the case may be. There are others of our kind in Florida, you should be hearing from a few shortly.
I agree, five years driving Spiderless is way too long.

Re: Hello from Florida
Welcome! How hard it must be to live in Florida and not have your Spider running. Now's the time to blow the dust off that ole engine and start getting it together!

Re: Hello from Florida
Welcome to the forum. We have a bunch of Spiders in Florida but they are all spread out around the state. WOW, you're literally at the FL/GA border and only 350 miles from me!
The Florida Spiders have to get organized. (and I have to get my car running )

Re: Hello from Florida
No reason to hate I have one sister that when to Florida, the other sister is at Florida State. Makes football season fun.
That Carolina event looks interesting....lets see if I can get off work for it. I will driving my Spider from Jax to Charleston soon anyway....so half way there.
