Florida Members Do Not Miss This Meet on Saturday!

This Saturday December 6th at the Hooters in Jacksonville Beach on J Turner Butler Blvd (JTB) & A1A (3rd Street) at 7:30 PM. We have several Porsches coming out including a GT3 and a few 996TTs, a C32 AMG, at least one NSX and one M3 and hopefully a few Vipers. Some of the folks who are coming plan to invite owners of higher end exotics (360 Modena and a twin-supercharged Lamborghini Diablo Roadster-seriously). The Porsche guys who're coming will be stopping in on their way back from a NC 996 meet ("The Tail of The Dragon Meet") so we're calling this one "The Tail of The Hooters Girl Meet". Guys I'm the only AMG owner so far. You guys need to come out and join me. I'd love to see a bunch more C32s and the MB big guns (SL55, SL600, E55, S55, etc.). Come one, come all, should be a good time. Email me for directions.

Kevin

*****UPDATE*****

Saturday (12/6) 3:30PM exotic and highend car meet:
Hooters of Ponte Vedra
Located at...
4106 South 3rd Street
Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250
904-247-0600

Here is the current list of people/ cars coming (various people's forum names included):
Greyghost: 04 C2 Cup Aero
1 1998 Supercharged Diablo VT 730 HP
Greyghost's other pals who may come (1-2 BMWs, 1 360, 1-2 Boxsters, 1 Shelby Viper)
2 C32 AMGs (mine and one other)
1 03 M3 w/ friends who MAY come: 1 360 unconfirmed, 1 996 Carrera Cabriolet, 4 NSXs
1 NSX (A guy named Maurice from Nsxprime has confirmed)
4(-7) Vipers (including some w/ superchargers)
Sloth (Max): 1 GT3 (and some of his other PCar pals)
CAPTLST: 996TT
Porsche Tech (Seth): PCar?
Evan: 1 IA500 996TT
John Revis: 1 GT2
1 MKIV Supra
1 550+ HP RX7 (unconfirmed as of now)
Rob (RDH): 996TT? unconfirmed
1 Mercedes RENNTech or Mocha SL55 or Yellow 550 Maranello
Possibly: Wes' orange MKIV 680RWHP Supra
Possibly: 03 AM Vanquish
A Brumos salesman named Jason says he's bringing a car out (I called him hoping he'd spread the word to his PCar customers)

Right now, I'm thinking we have about 31 coming. Not sure how many people are quietly planning to join from all of the forums that this has been posted on (AMG, NSX, FL Viper, BMW M Car, Lamborghini, Rennlist, Flat6, MKIV Supra Site, etc.). Perhaps another 10 or so? You guys within a few hours drive may want to consider making it out. This Hooters is right next to a major highway that has 2-3 lanes going in each direction (for post-meet testing purposes ).

Okay guys, 3:30 PM is now the plan for Saturday's Hooters Meet NOT 7:30 PM as previously mentioned. We had originally booked it in the evening because we had some turbo Porsche guys coming from Asheville, NC. That NC Porsche meeting has now been cancelled due to snow. BTW, One of the guys driving there (600+ HP 996TT) from CA just got radared in Oklahoma at 163 MPH. He ran from the cops and crossed the state line where he found a road block of 9 state troopers. He got the face-down, guns pulled, orange jumsuit treatment and has since been released. Thought I'd share that story with you. Back to the subject at hand, let's all get in contact with anybody we told to be there at 7:30 and be sure that they know the proper time.

Also, please see the thread in the c32 section for the complete list of attendees (Lambos, Ferrari, Viper, Lotus, NSX, AMG, M3, Porsche 996, 996TT, GT3, GT2). This is going to be a big event (35+ cars).

Thanks,
Kevin

Go to 6speedonline.com and look under the 996 and 996 turbo forums (Hooters Meet or Jax Meet threads) for tons of pics.
