Amelia Island 2021
« on: May 18, 2021, 18:25:54 »
Just got to Naples/Marco Island yesterday and pulled the 914-6GT out of storage to get it ready for the trip to Amelia Island this weekend.
A stop at the Brumos Collection in Jacksonville has been scheduled.
May run into some Pagoda-types, maybe...?

There are a number of MBCA members among our 113 group.  The Alabama/NW Florida Section of MBCA have organized dinner gatherings both Friday (6:30 pm) and Saturday (6:00pm) for members and guests at the Jacksonville Airport Doubletree Hotel. Email Jim Roberts (jertoothsaver@bellsouth.net) for reservations. There are usually a few Pagoda types among the attendees at these annual dinners.  I plan to attend both and will be at Cars and Coffee (sans Pagoda) on Saturday and at the main Concours on Sunday.

I already have a really full schedule for the limited time I can spend there and cannot make any other firm arrangements. Have to leave it to meetings "by chance".

Only two on the field at Cars and Coffee Saturday, both members here.  None in sight on Sunday. :(

I did not go to the C&C event. I was there with my 914-6GT my friend Steve had his 365GTB-4 but we parked it a little off the usual display areas.
I attended the 935 seminar and walked the show on Sunday.
Before Amelia, I visited the Brumos Collection on Friday. Several of the cars I was hoping to see were not on display.
