6G Celicas Forums

Im coming to Orlando next week. Where would you advise a petrol head like me to go visit whilst Im there? I'm renting a cheap car to get around and plan to go to daytona.

There isn't very much petrol-head oriented here, although west of Orlando around small towns has some nice driving roads. Florida is mainly a network of long, straight roads. Let me know where you'll be staying, I'm on the east side of town near the University of Central Florida - I'd love to have a pint with you and chat some Celica stuff. Should try for a meet with the other locals, although I've only met Samir in this area, and he's mostly unavailable due to work. Axel is in Titusville, but no longer owns a Celica.

I would advise a trip to Miami, it is quite something. Even better are the Dry Tortugas, but that's a ferry ride.

come to south florida, theres alot of celicas and/or toyotas, maybe make a meet or something. did you bring any r/t performance products!?! LOL

Im on holiday and been going to all the theme parks. I dont think ill be back till saturday Ferdi sorry. But any time next week will be good? Didnt bring no RT products sorry. Im still amused with seeing all the american cars and tucks and getting used to turning right in red lights. Lol

Yea just busy busy busy here in Gainesville FL.

Not much of a scene here...unless you are in to public transportation and rude bikers...pedal bikes..

hey hey hey im here posting. if u do a meet let me knoe

Just messing with you! Next time right? Lol! Be careful with turning right on reds though, they have started buliding cameras if you don't stop completely.




You meant by us right? We got a decent sized group here.

Name a spot and date. Im up for meeting for a beer somewhere. Im going to the everglades on tuesday so any time apart from that. Im not familier with anywhere and depending on sat nav at the moment.

Everglades, fun stuff. One of the only parts of Florida worth seeing once. I suggest a Buffalo Wild Wings, just because that'd be a fine example of a 'Murrican bar. The glory of a pitcher...

I assume from the post up there that you'll be here for all of next week, so I should have a day or night off at some point.

Yeah im here for anoher week and a half. Im mainly doing all the theme parks and ive rented a house near disney land. Never heard of buffalo wild winfs but i like the sound of it

Well there's a Buffalo Wild Wings in doral that's the closest for me.

Ray, hopefully you're enjoying the stay. Have any time tomorrow night?

Sorry Ferdi
Ive been running around a lot and not had a chance to check this thread. I dont think im gona have a chance to link up dude. Im heading back Tuesday morning.
Next 2 days is gona be my last chance to do the things on my todo list. Floridas been awsome so far but i didnt get to see many 6gs around but one grey one i passed in Tempa.

No worries, I understand the relentlessness of time. Travel is important. I've been sh!t busy with work and had a fever the past few days, so can't say I had the convenience either. Where have you gone so far?

Ive done all the disney parks and universals plus water parks. A rediculas amount of outlet shopping and food testing too. I had my first corn dog last week and today i went to a food truck meet down town. Ive been driving here and there to meet up with my girl friends friends in and around Tampa and Daytona. Loved the local bars and seafood. Yesterday i came back from a 4 hour drive there to the everglades. If i had more time i would had went to Miami too. I think I'll be back some time to do more also i love the trucks you guys have here and V8's are growing on me. Im not looking forward to going back to paying $125 for a full tank of petral in the UK.

Corn dogs are a disgusting, disgusting thing and trucks are mostly useless as well. A V8 is a brilliant thing, especially cammed. That lope is something else. I still prefer Enzo's high-revving variants though. Glad you enjoyed the time, Florida is fun for vacation. Funny enough, I think you'll find the weather quite British on your last day.

Yes it is. It should help with my transition to face the 4 deg and rain when i get back.
