In my hunt for a blumo or a striaght 74 I'm coming to Orlando 12th to 21st August  More of a coincidental holiday really thanks to the wifes redundancy  . While I'm there I'd like to get to any cars shows/cruises that are around. We'll be staying in Lake Buena Vista and staying in Miami for 1 day/night too. Any suggestions on what to do or mainly car/Blues bros related things to do?  I can't wait and wouldn't it be great to bring a Blumo back with me ?! Ben |

Cool to hear Ben! Hopefully you can find one while your here.
Idk if you will have time or the capabillities, but.. I'm in the jacksonville FL area (about 21/2-3 hours north of orlando). If you would like, and could make it up, we could take my blumo out for a little cruise, and a bite to eat. Maybe find a car show to do. I'd be more then happy to have you out. The car cant venture out to far at the moment, as it seems the pump seal on the tranny is leaking again, but she can still go for nice trips in the local area. I can't venture down to orlando though....
Let me know
Zac

I'll have to let you know nearer the time though as it depends on if the wife fancies it or not . Can't wait! Hopefully Sent from my phone |

We could very well be up for a meet up as we're not doing all the parks the whole holiday so would be good to have a drive out and about a bit.
I'll keep you all posted!

Well I'm now here in Orlando! Got a very dull but functional Nissan altima rental car. The challenger I wanted was way over our budget  Not sure if I'll get any car hunting done as the wife's planned all the theme parks. Nice to be in your country though and enjoy some half price gas! Lol. Hopefully Sent from my phone |

- Glad you made it safe Rover! I've never been to Florida, maybe one day ... go see the old Burt Reynolds Ranch lol. If you don't want to return empty handed, save this old Plymouth ...  Heh, I know ... not what your after. I actually just noticed it's in Tampa Bay. It popped up in the Orlando search ... tampa.craigslist.org/hdo/cto/3982223980.html  |

Well we're home back in uk. Sorry Zac just didn't get time to venture up to see you as the wife didn't want all the travelling about . Went to Miami for a night though which wasn't what I expected. Too busy for my liking and can't stand being a tourist! Orlando wasn't bad but much more expensive than expected. I didn't like the feeling of being ripped off as a tourist. $6 a bottle of beer!? Really? On the whole great holiday though and yes we went to house of blues where I bought most of the shop and had the Bluesmobile cocktail (overpriced $15 of course). No monacos found so the hunt continues in uk. Hopefully Sent from my phone |

Do you have a website? If you don't want to post on the board, you could PM me. Not that I'm a serious shopper; it just sounds like it would be fun to check it out. |

Mainly 60s to 80s furniture, lamps and a bit of art. Some older stuff too but there's not much market for that at the mo. PMd Hopefully Sent from my phone |
