Hey! Love your Z I need to find some others in Florida... there are number of them around, I need to start trying to get them together I belong to a pretty welcoming bimmer group here Sarasota Bimmer, so I'm sure they'd appreciate the adds to the ranks.

 

[BMBabe]

Hey Zach, welcome from LIncoln UK. I'm a Floridian, sadly only for 3 weeks twice a year. I wish I could have my Z over there but not possible. We have a villa in Kissimmee but as it 's a rental home we converted the garage into a games room for the guests.. Just love Florida and if you're over from the gulf coast and would like to meet if we're there please let me know. Love your car.

Tony.

That sounds like a blast! I just joined the Sarasota group, and the Tampa group, though the Tampa group is larger, they're about 40min-1hr from me. I know a lot of them are pretty big into AutoX and whatnot. Sarasota isn't a very large city, so not a LOT of owners (plus, it's FL... a ton of ollllllllld people, and I mean old) lol. Hopefully I'll get a chance to go to more events and I'll try to post some photos. Like I mentioned on facebook, I was the only M Roadster at ///MFest yesterday in Tampa, heck, the only z3 for that matter There was a clownshoe/e36/7 M Coupe, and then two z4's, one was an M. My baby got a good bit of attention though, for the kind of car, and for the color

I run through orlando every once in awhile to visit my uncle up in Jacksonville. I know the Tampa Group goes up that way on cruises here and there too It's a great state, and I wouldn't move back up north for anything *shivers just thinking about it*.

Welcome from the middle of the UK....please send us some of your sunshine

We took in the Good Guys All American custom show in Kissimmee last April and we will be going again this April. They run a good auto cross event over the 2-3 days of the show, all American cars though no european cars. Only an hour away for you?
We visited Sarasota a few years ago when we went down the Keys and came back across Alligator Alley and back up the Gulf Coast as far as Tampa then back to Orlando.

There is also the Exotic car show at Celebration you could drop in to have a look at such McClarens, Ferraris, Porches and the like. There were 2 Z8s last year and it's free to look around (well it was last year - a forum member went and posted the photo's)

Hi Zach, from me too in Staffordshire, UK. I love the look of your car - not many Dakars about

 

[Zach]

Wow, I'm feeling pretty welcomed on here Thanks guys n girls! The exotic show sounds interesting. We have shows a LOT in Sarasota, as it's kinda filled with wealthy people (heh, yeah, I'm not one of them unfortuantely bahahaha), see some really rare cars here as there are some collectors in town, and some from out of town that have homes here. Orlando is about 2hrs flat... well, under normal driving circumstances heh. I'll try to find more Z's over here and introduce them to the site There's the Festival of Speed going on up in Tampa, I, it's either this weekend or next, so I may have missed it though... but I'll try to get out to more shows and find other Z's and spread the love!

 

[BMBabe]

Z love is always welcome here heehee
