First welcome to the site.

I would suggest that you scroll up to the Welcome Room and introduce yourself. In your introduction ask for some help with clubs in the South Florida area. I am sure that you will get plenty of responses. Be prepared they will ask you to post some pictures of your car. Don't let that intimidate you, if you don't know how just ask and they will help you with that too!

Good Luck!

Rich

Since we have both an older, '74, Vette and a streetrod, we decided to join a classic car club. This way depending on the event, either car would be welcome. Also, the cruises are designed more for the older car (drive at a slower pace) which we find more enjoyable than trying to keep up with the newer cars.

I think I asked you about club membership in an earlier post. I'm with Southwest Florida Corvette Club. We participate in each other's events many times. Hope to meet you at one of these!! Welcome to the site!

Yes, I am a member of the Tampa Bay Vettes and have been for about 13 years....I believe I am the second longest member of the club.

First let me say that I have not read this entire thread, but this statement by Rich, our leader, clearly states his philosophy for CorvetteFlorida.

I had really hoped that this site would BRING more people together, rather than give them an excuse to exclude others from their interest and participation.

I think this site gives us all the opportunity to have friends all over the state of Florida that we will know by name and perhaps even feel like family.

Imagine what it would feel like to casually drop a line here saying that you were planning to be in Panama City on a certain day and hope to meet up with some members here and have 50 Vettes waiting for you when you got there!

I don't know about you, but such a thing would be one hell of a thrill for me.

And I think this site gives us the opportunity for such things to happen. But certainly not if the local clubs aren't a part of this and WE aren't a part of the local clubs as well.

Well without either of us knowing it, Rich also nailed the philosophy of Corvettes Anonymous.

We are NOT a club, but an Association that includes both Club Members as well as Independents.

We were born of the philosophy that it would be cool to run into someone in East Where The Heck Am I? who also happened to be a member.

We have no rules and no requirement to either carry the flag or even show up. People reach out as they desire and are embraced when ever or where ever they do.

Since our launch late last November, we have nearly 150 members in 23 states and 3 countries….and we owe our success to the support we have received from Rich and members of this forum as well as a couple of others.

Am I a member of a club? Yes! I am a proud member of SunCoast Corvette Association.
