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.
where in Florida? - 6G Celicas Forums
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.

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.

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.
