Would be fun to meet some of you who live along the road.

Here is our map. Starting at Tampa-Sanibel-Key West-Maimi-Fort Lauderday-Cape Canaveral-Daytona-Orlando and back to Tampa.

Joakim,
We live in Cape Coral from 12/27 to 4/5, and welcome you for a visit. I'm not sure if your dates would work, but buy all means, try to stop in.

Hi Dave!
Thanks for the reply. Should have it in mind that you will be there 12/27.
But believe it will be difficult with that we booked some hotels include in Key west.
Hard to get hold of affordable hotels, now we are already booked.
I should have asked the question before. So itinerary could have been changed.

But have you mailbox at your house? then we can swing by with some Swedish car magazine Power Magazine (one of the best in terms of U.S. classic cars)

You can email me road address above FL email

Best regards
Joakim

We were visiting Muscel Car City (only GM). http://www.musclecarcity.net/
but have heard that it is possibly a Ford musem nearby too.
Does any of that? (Brother in law who goes by the Edsel collectors)
Is there anything more about Cap Coral should not be missed? (we have 4st children between 8-11 years on the trip)

Have a great trip my friend! This gets me nostalgic - my first trip was on the east coast and Florida in 1980.

Wow you have being there, nice.
It does not seem consistent with the dates to meet Dave.
Think that we got to meet Gary in LA the different times. And to go with his 59 Dodge, it was fun
Maby we go meet a Ebay seller from Charlotte County Ho I have bought many parts from.
It being a nice trip. First time for me in Florida.
