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.)
