    Well Fred.... I did see you fix your front disk brake really, really fast in my driveway. I'm thinking you could help Milton out and build him an awesome 480 cu. in. engine in no time. I think I gave you credit for starting this forum last year. I think I must have oldhimers!!! I "barely" even drank any beer last night. TTYL Fred..................................................................

    Hey South Florida Buick guys............... Say something!!!! Sorry people, I'm already talking to. I know there are more people out there!!! Hey Hector and Christoper, I had the computer tech at school print all my contacts for the year. I "think" I found some other Buick guys down south by you Hector.
    Tonight when my wife got home I told her I was going to host a Buick "get together." She was fine with that. Deb's awesome!!! Then I told her kids were welcome. "The place is kid proof." If she had been drinking red wine I would have had grape stain on my shirt!!! We laughed and laughed!!!! We are some very good grand parents, but as GSFred said," Your grand kids are "free range!" lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guys, If I can't make this a really cool, over the top "get together," I'll be embarrassed. My "cup" is ALWAYS filled to the top. Not with beer, but with happiness!!!!!!! Can't wait to see a BUNCH of us together!!!!!!!!!!! Hector, They'll be a bunch of very HOT GN's here, I promise you. :)>

    I’m in Sarasota, really close to docgsx. Lake worth is a good 3 hour drive for me. That would by FAR be the longest trip ever taken in my Skylark. A meet sounds good but I don’t know if I could bring the car.

    Briz brought his AWESOME Riviera down to So. Florida last year from Lake City. Surprised the heck out of me!!! Matt, yes, that is a looooong drive.
    Hector, I put the word out to my son tonight to talk to the turbo guys. We'll definitely get a group over here. What are your ideas??? Late April, early May?
    Tomorrow is my last day of work at Monster Middle School. 35+ years. What an interesting chapter in my life!!! When I'm retired I'd love to work on getting a Buick group together. Just some ideas in my head..... Hot chicks walking all around our cars smiling at us. Cheap Hi Test gas. All the tires we want to burn up in smoke. lmao!!!! I think We'll need a sponsor. My pension won't afford that. Great dream though!!!!

    Fred, Maybe next year when you show up the "New South Florida Buick Group" can have a party for you!!! If we do have a "get together", and we will, I'll send you lots of pictures. See you tomorrow afternoon for beer30 and maybe you can keep me from jumping up and down. I can't wait for 4 o'clock!!!!!

    The Skylark Drive Club GSCA Chapter here in the Tampa-Bay area includes Polk, Pasco, Hillsborough, and Pinellas County still get together every First Monday of the month for Dinner. Unfortunately many of them don't have cars anymore but some of us are still "Going Fast with Class" . It be great, with enough notice to have a big Buick throw down. But, that means people will have to drive or tow their car to the destination.

    St Pete to Tampa I may be able to make the drive. It would take me a bit at 55-60MPH but it certainly is a lot closer that the east coast.

    Hector and Chris, I'm still here. My wife and I went to Virginia for Spring Break. Our house up there is in the mountains and we basically have NO phone or internet service. (We did play in the snow though!) The 2nd weekend in April sounds OK with me. I need to get my butt in gear and see if I can round up some more V8 guys! I'll go find my Email contacts from work and see if I can get some more people to attend.
    West Coast Guys... I think it's awesome that you joined this thread. I actually belonged to the Skylark Drive Chapter for a short time way back in the 90's. I just might join you guys for dinner one of these months!
