Hoping I can make it as well. It's always nice to spend some winter time in the warm Florida sun, and catching up with some good V8ing friends

TAMPA BAY AUTO MUSEUM www.tbauto.org.
Today Mike and I took a cruise over to Pinellas Park, Florida, to check out the TAMPA BAY AUTO MUSEUM as a possible stop on the Saturday driving tour part of the 2017 Florida “Barner’s Bash”, from February 24th to 26th. We both came away with the conclusion that the TAMPA BAY AUTO MUSEUM is a must see attraction. The Cigar City Flatheads were given a group discount, just $5.00 per person to tour the 14,000 sq. ft. museum chock full of outstanding vehicles. The location is just about a half hour ride from the host hotel, and features panoramic views of Tampa Bay, perfect for topless cruisin… For lunch, there is a Steak & Lube just about two miles from the museum, and they have car shows just about every weekend. We plan on arriving at the museum between 10 and 10:30 am on Saturday, Feb. 25th. We’ve also booked the pavilion at Philippe Park in Safety Harbor, Fl. For the traditional Cigar City Flatheads BBQ. Additionally, we are setting up several garage/restoration shop tours for Friday, and don’t forget PIZZA for lunch at the now famous Keystone Corner Deli… See you in February.

Re: 2017 Florida "Barner's Bash"
 

Sounds great. I already booked my flight, so I didn't need any more incentive to go. I just wish I was in a position to take one of my old cars down there! I hope someone will give me a ride!

Re: 2017 Florida "Barner's Bash"
 

You can ride with me, I can always use extra help if and when pushing becomes involved... ;)

I booked my flight and car yesterday. I'll be showing up in a Japanese rental so I'll be needing a ride in something built before 1954........ Mark
