Once I get ANY roadster driving (long, tedious, boring story), I will take 
the car to the local shows - show ready or not.  The good news is that there 
is a "cruise in" EVERY saturday night in the Jacksonville Florida area 
(great excuse for an SEROC meet if I ever thought of, er heard of one!!)  so 
the exposure is good.  Even better, one is about a mile from my house!! (it 
moves each Saturday.)
