Have you thought of putting on a drive? Its not too hard to do! There are
several good web sites that list scenic roads, I have used:
http://www..openroadjourney.com/roads/Florida.asp
Florida Motorcycle Roads - Tampa - St Pete - Bradenton - Lakeland
These are Motorcycle Touring pages, but work well for British cars too.
Just find a route that you like, do a test drive, find a good restaurant,
set a date and that's it.
And if you need some help, give me a call.

Here is an important web link for classic car owners.
This lists all the ETHANOL FREE GAS stations in Florida:
Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada

Check the TBBCC web site and Facebook page for upcoming events.
TBBCC: Welcome to the Tampa Bay British Car Club!
http://www.facebook.com/TBBCC

Lets get those Classic British Cars out and on the road. And show
everyone that "Classic cars are NOT just Hot Rods and Mustangs"
If there is any event that was missed please contact me and I will add it
to the next e-mail.

Remember, traveling in packs (Fiona said that should be "a herd with
tools") is the safest way to go, so if there is somewhere you want to go
and would like company there is usually someone in the club that would
like the company also.
