Flying into Orlando Thursday evening and spending the night at the La Quinta Inn N Frontage rd. Would love to hook up with some Maro's for the drive to Ocala.

Yeah I picked that location as it is close to you - you will need to come North on 436 (Semoran) and turn right on Lake Underhill and then left on Goldenrod and it will be on your left 1/4 mile after you go under the expressway.

pewter has it for you. that is easiest way to get there from the hotel. being that its friday morning give yourself 15 - 20 minutes to do that run. there are about 3 school zones on the way.

joes407 · 04-12-2010, 07:59 AM

beer is at any store but we dont get the good high % stuff down here. strong beer and strong sun dont mix so we get the bottom of the barrel. i enjoy cracker barrel and ale house practically across the street from your hotel. if you like buffet golden corral is a few miles north on 436 from the hotel.

Across the street is good. Ale is my favorite. Perferr what we call uo here in the Great White North micro brewery. Checked the net there seem to be a few in Florida.

You know what, although you think our beer is stronger the alcohol content for the most part is equal. Our beer is just more full bodied cause we don't use rice in it much.

I need to get with you after the show to have you make me a car display stand for my Bumblebee. I have a few things in mind so hopefully you can fix me up.

I'm going to start showing the car more often now that I have the car looking and running as planned.

We should have no problem

We just got our Transformer decals and Autobot decals in today from my Hasbro supplier

A nice black stand w/ Transformers on it would look sweet
