Southern MK1 GTG

[rudygetz]

Inspired from the discussion in the MK1 SOWO GTG thread. This thread was created to plan and bring together ideas to make a strictly MK1 gtg somewhere in the South. A poll was created, and St. Augustine was the winner.

[321G60]

lake Wales sound good since I'm in Ft lauderdale area or even Daytona.

Me and my brother have 3 '84 MK1's and 1 MK1 Scirooco so I could have a couple of friends drive the other cars if we do a meet.

We could also think about doing a local meet fridays at the tower shops in davie friday nights.

[steady dubbin']

I think all Florida mk1 owners should post in here so we can see how many we have.
Then we can unite and pull this together.
If we can do this I think others will come fron everywhere to enjoy some fun and sun with us

[rudygetz]

Updated thread with a roster. If you're interested in a SEMK1gtg plz post so we can add you.

[s14_sr20_silvia]

I saw southeastern and got excited.. You should call it the Floridian Mk1 GTG.

[Justin_Eshelman]

I'm in South Alabama, Dothan region. I'd be down for a show, I just don't want to drive to Miami for it. I think for a greater turnout you defiantly need to have it more north.

Nothing is set in stone yet. If their is a huge showing of people in NC or surrounding states we could do it further north. We are trying to see where most of the interest is based. We can move fwd from there with the actual planing.
Are you in?

It wouldn't be in Miami. The most south it would be would be 4 hrs north of miami in lake wales or Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Daytona

[HeyMayneItsB]

We never landed on even an anywhere, FL location. Personally, being currently located in Batesville, Arkansas, there's no way in hell I'd drive 15-17 hours. Like others have already said in this thread (and the SoWo Mk1 GTG thread as well), it needs to be farther north, or perhaps at least on the gulf side of northwest Florida, for more people to be interested/able to attend.

I'm definitely interested in making it, but it depends on the location.

I'd definitely be down if it were farther north.

[allklrnoflr]

I'm in central fl area, Daytona have a cabby, there are tons of cars in this area what time of year are you thinking of,

[SouthernRoads]

im in Port Saint Lucie, 2 hours North of Miami and 1.5 hours South of Orlando. I have a 80 westy caddy and i would love a FL GTG

[Dozier]

Im in

[rudygetz]

Thanks for showing interest. We definitely will take the feedback from this thread into consideration. The more interest from the northern dubbers the further north we'll move this. Last thing I want is anyone to have to drive too far.

As Steadydubbin mentioned, this won't be in Miami. The furthest south we're even considering is Lake Wales, Florida.

Let's also hear some input as to time of the year. We don't want to interfere with any major shows. Fixxfest takes place in November. So we were thinking either before that, maybe early
October or maybe January?

For those of your out of Florida. What's the furthest South you'd feel comfortable driving to?

[rudygetz]

Can you get mk1 owners in your area to chime in? Are they members on Vortex?

[Jesse-B]

Checking in!

[rudygetz]

Checking in!

Added you.

[airbornejet]

i'm down.. 84' GTI Georgia

[Dozier]

oh...1981 Jetta or 80 rabbit--La Belle FL

[rudygetz]

[Dozier]

How's your car coming along buddy? BTW I think Lake Wales would be awesome!

[rudygetz]

How's your car coming along buddy?

Good question. I'm going to call the shop tomorrow and see where they're at with it. Any day now. Thanks for asking. Should be getting wheels in the mail this Friday!!

[homiesmalls]

I like where this is going. I'm leaning towards somewhere between Jacksonville (perhaps St. Augustine) and Mid-Georgia just so that we could get participation from the more northern guys. For those just nw of us, a trip to Tally is already 8 hours for us from sofla. How long of a trip would it be to that area? And is anyone from this area and or have connects in this area? I think a beach setting might be cool...

[hxcdubbin239]

Sounds like a good time! I say ga/fl boarder. I'm in Atlanta.

Tom- '82 rabbit 4dr 16v

[steady dubbin']

[QUOTE=homiesmalls;77579512]I like where this is going.

Me too!

[dubsc]

I'm in if it would be in the northern part. Jacksonville would be good. I'm in mid SC. Have an 81 diesel caddy.

[rudygetz]

I think with the amount of interest thus far from outside of Florida and the feedback, Jacksonville Beach is currently the best option. Although that's not set in stone. Keep the suggestions coming folks.

Not bad, 12 shown interest from 5 different states.

[HeyMayneItsB]

For where I'm located, I probably won't be going. Even Panama City Beach is over 11 hours from me, and all the places that everyone has suggested so far are over 14 hours

bummer

[avidgolfer]

Orlando has my vote

[floridabmx]

Very good idea, much needed!

Im from Daytona now living in West Palm. One of my cars is in Daytona and the other is in West Palm. So obviously Daytona would work for me but I think a lil farther north would be good for a better turnout like stated before.

I agree that St Augustine should be a good spot as well. Downtown has lots of character and Its only 45 minutes south of Jacksonville.

Either way, count me in!

Floridabmx - 76 or 77 Rabbit -West Palm Beach, FL

[TDiPusher19t]

wow another rabbit in west palm....i was beginning feel like i was the only one

[rudygetz]

Orlando has my vote

Can I add you to the list?

[Jesse-B]

If it was in Orlando I would most likely be able to make it.

[lhcVdub]

im down for this..

82 caddy.

from miramar, FL
