Guys,
I'm not leaving you out, since you are next door to me, so to speak.
There is something coming up on Saturday 21 July that is import car-related.
Along with their Hot Rod show, the Chamber of Commerce/Plant City is
sponsoring an all import meet! Shocking, isn't it?

I have seen your 350Z's at some of the meets. I doubt that those PC folks have
ever seen cars like yours that have real quality graphics. You have an opportunity to
show off your work with no vendor fees.

I have been telling some people That I know.
You can also post this on to the forums that you belong to. Maybe some of
your customers would like to show their cars. The whole import scene will
benefit if we can get an overwhelmingly good turnout. Most of the time all
they have is hot rods. It would be impressive if import drivers could run
them out of dash plaques one hour into registration.

A few details:
ALL IMPORT SHOW/MEET PLANT CITY 3PM-9PM
All years. All Import Makes. All Models. Dash Plaques. DJ Music.
No registration fee. No trophies. No pressure. Clubs welcome.
Sponsored by the Plant City Chamber of Commerce. 3 huge parking lots.
Downtown Plant City next to the train station is where the registration tent
will be. Food will be available

The easiest way to Plant City is take I-4 to exit 19, 21, 22 and go South.

For more Info, call 813-754-3707, 800-760-2315, info@plantcity.org, Welcome to Plant City and if I can be of some help, let me know. 813-839-4281/bobfixesitup@yahoo.com. Thanks guys. -Bob

Justin,
I saw your wrapped cars at Cianfrocca's Cars and Coffee in Riverview. As always the graphic wraps atracted a lot of people. You do nice work.
Here's something I wrote about the Plant City All Import meet which you attended....and brought a bunch of your friends to.

BBQ, cool cars, and hydrogen
As I was exiting I-4, I called in a takeout order to Johnson's BBQ at Alexander and MLK.
Picked up lunch and when I got to the big parking lot at 109 Palmer around 2PM, I found a shady parking spot near the road. I opened my hood and walked over to the historic train station to find a shady spot for lunch. I toured part of the Air Conditioned Railroad Museum. A closed hood is just a parked car, but an open hood is a car meet! Some of the hot rods had already parked in that same lot.

A 370Z from Gainesville pulled in a short distance away and began their show prep. Beautiful blue paint, carbon fiber, wide wheels and suspension work, exhaust....great looking car....Her boyfriend was helping with prep and regretting that he had not brought his own Z. A Ferrari pulled up a few spaces away from me. Saw a few Honda' s and a nice green 240SX. I like the way he had additional spot welds 1" apart on the strut towers and the inside front fenders. That's one way that you make a car last longer, by strengthening it.

Around 3PM Blown Runner drove up in his Toyota Jurassic Park replica and parked in the grass display area near some of the hot rods. It turned out that he had installed a roll-out canopy for shade....what a setup. I admire it when people are not intimidated and park in great places to be seen better. If you haven't seen his latest edition of a hand crafted sound system mounting, you missed out. It is not the normal open-a-box-and-install speakers. He also is a stickler for tuning for sound quality instead of just loudness.

When I finished off lunch I started walking around the edge of the big parking lot shooting the bull with some of the hot rodders that I knew. I saw in the lot to the South that there were a bunch of 350Z Nissans and headed over there. I knew some of those guys from a show at Baylife Church where they had won several trophies and also took the Club Participatrion Trophy..........beating out the High Rollers Car Club.

When I emailed Justin of Redline Customs (they do excellent vehicle wraps) he showed up with about 20 Z-cars. There were 240's, 260's, 280's 300's and 350's. They rolled in together and even parked by year model. Justin also brought the Military Tribute 350Z and since I saw it last, there were a pile of Military member's autographs on the hood next to the service emblems. Justin has the ability to create a wrap of any picture he has ever seen and does really nice work. Later on, ALL the Z's drove down Palmer Street nose to tail and parked in a few rows of the big parking lot.

Pam signed in my car at the registration tent in time for me to get a magazine and one of the dash plaques before they were gone. I bought some bottled water from Becky's Hot Dogs across from registration and walked around looking to see what new customizing trends the hot rodders were up to. Some of them have good ideas, but haven't yet figured out how to light an engine compartment like some of the import cars.
Three blocks to the West, and an hour later I sat down to guzzle some high performance Gatorade. There were some clouds to the East providing cloud cover and it was cooling off slightly.

A nice red very rare mid-engine Pantera was parked with the hot Rods.....shiny black inner rear fenders reflecting chrome and polishing on the engine and trans axle.

The Tampa Bay British Car Club had parked their MG A's, B's, and a Jaguar on the street next to the big lot and a few of them had driven their Mini-Coopers and a TR6 up onto the sidewalk. I recognized the Mini with the British Flag on the roof and quad driving lights from the Friday car meet at Slick's Garage in Palmetto a few weeks ago and yes, it is the same Slick's Garage that is on the TV show.......and Slick's really does build the cars that you see on TV!

Nature Coast English Car Club arrived and set up their 1275 Midget and a Supercharged MGB Across from Tampa Bay British Car Club and outside Big Dog's restaurant. It was the first supercharger I ever saw on an MGB and it even had the MG emblem cast into it...........doubled the horsepower according to the owner. Car was bright yellow and super clean.

A RHD Honda with a really nice hoodless engine compartment did a drive by ....twice......and didn't stay........ LOL The DJ was announcing car clubs in attendance as they rolled in.

Around 6PM, the clouds started sprinkling and rain was coming down in buckets a few minutes later. Everyone plastered themselves against the wall under the awning at Big Dog's Restaurant. I went inside looking for the owner of the Yellow MGB convertible. We both stood in over-ankle deep water as I helped him get his top up. The other British convertibles were putting tarps over their cars.

I moved to Big Dog's Patio and shot the bull for a while with Michael Eng, Editor of the Plant City Observer newspaper. My soaking wet shirt felt really good after the day of heat.

When the rain stopped, a lot of the hot rodders had already left, as Mild99 from the Seffner/Brandon Thursday night meet arrived. Mild99 has started selling LED's for underhood/interior lighting, at below-market prices, but you will have to hit the Seffner meet to check them out. Mild99 is also the photographer for the Seffner/Brandon meet.

I had some good discussion with three car owners about their Hydrogen Power Generator setups. This is an old "new" idea that increases gas mileage and horse power by burning hydrogen............ along with gasoline.....a good idea since gas prices are heading up again. A truck in attendance had four hydrogen generators mounted up front........gotta talk to that guy.....find out what I need for my four cylinder Accord.

The blue 370Z and a beautiful red Toyota were parked in the center of the big lot. The Toyota looked like it was out of the movie "Fast and Furious". One of the nicest I've seen for a while. He just got out of the military, and I hope to see him at some of the other meets. His car might be a best of show for the November Jacksonville meet.

It was getting dark as I was driving down a flooded Dale Mabry highway in Tampa, on my way to Subway Sandwiches to pick up dinner.........and I had to drive backwards out of some deep water. Nobody drives backwards these days.

At home the movie I put on was Fast and Furious III.
In the opening scene, Vin Diesel is in Panama driving a Black Monte Carlo...............backwards.....LOL-Bob
