Tampa Bay Car Museum

Hi Guys, I'm staying at a hotel near USF, happened to look at all the attractions cards you see in every lobby.

Found one for the Tampa Bay Auto Museum:

I didn't know this existed, but it looks good!
I think I'll check this out next time I'm in Tampa Bay...

Thanks for the link!

Looks good. Wait! What? No Marauders in there! :lol:


Sorry, couldn't resist....

This looks a pretty cool place to visit. I noticed on their web site that groups of 12 or more get a reduced admission of just $5 each. They will even provide a docent led private tour. We could all arrive on a Saturday morning, tour the museum (bring the family!) then all drive to a nearby establishment for lunch. Could be lots of fun! What do ya'll think? Would this make a fun meet?

I'll be in the Bay Area around thanksgiving, and will be in the Marauder.
Pick a date!

That place looks cool as can be! They have a Cord 812, a Delahaye, and Alvis and an ugly Panhard to name a few notables. I would love to see that place!

So- I have seen some positive comments. Are
we on? When shall we schedule a tour? Who will commit to coming?

[jimlam56]

Well Brad, as I said I will be in the area Thanksgiving weekend, how about that Saturday?

[bradical]

I've seen one reply - Thank you! - anyone else interested in going to the museum as a group event?

[jimlam56]

I'm going Thanksgiving Saturday around 10am.
If anyone wants to join just show up.

[jimlam56]

Bump..............

[jimlam56]

All right you Tampa Bay members, let's meet up here the Saturday after Thanksgiving around 9ish!
(Maybe I'll have the first one car Marauder meet...)

[bradical]

I'm going to plan on showing up. You said 9-ish? The museum opens at 10 on Saturday. I live about 15 minutes away, so I'll plan on being there around 9:45 or so.

[jimlam56]

OK, see you then.
We might have a few others join us.

I'm open that morning, might try to drag Dave with me.

It will be good to see you also Jake!
Hope more can come, it looks like they have some real unique cars there!

My buddy (from Imperial Park, by the way) is coming. I'm trying to convince him into bringing his "unbelievable" 1970 AAR 'Cuda. This car is off the charts. I think the weather will be nice enough to bring it. It will rival the museum - seriously!

Looking forward to seeing you, too!

OK, last call.
Anybody in the Central Florida area should join us tomorrow around 10am:

See you tomorrow!

[JMan]

What a magnificent collection of engineering marvels! I will surely go back again with Marauders or not! That place was off the charts for a mechanical freak like me! Jim, your gratuity is as over the top as Dennis' personality!

Great to see Jim, Dave, Phil and of course, my beloved Penelope . . . heck even Dennis once a year is tolerable!

Loved it,
J

[jimlam56]

It was good to see all you guys and girls!
I definitely will be back, that is one great car museum!
