Went To Florida Last Week... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just back from Florida (or should I say Ford-a) and couldn't believe my eyes. It's definitely Ford Country anyway. Any of you Florida members in the Orlando area? Anyway here is the only trucks I managed to find. Enjoy.

So are any of these your Ride?

*Randy70C-10* · 03-22-2003, 08:28 AM

That's a long haul for a Canadian, did you drive? How did you like the warm weather?

(I'm from Orlando) I guess I'm a transplant.

I wish I could say one of those was mine...
It's actually better to live in a Ford dominant place, it makes the old Chevys that much sweeter.

Vince M · 03-22-2003, 06:29 PM

I see you went to "Olde Town" for the Saturday Night Cruise. Hope you enjoyed it. I go over there once in a while to keep my interest peaked and to motivate me to get my truck going. I've seen most of the trucks you've got pictured but not the 'Burb. It's been in our local Auto Shopper though and he's asking a good bit for it.

Should have dropped me a line and I could have met you over there and shared "war stories" (about trucks that is). Hell..I would have even bought the beer.

**Canadian694x4** · 03-23-2003, 01:53 AM

Randy70C-10 - I didn't drive but would have loved too. I really enjoyed the weather, it was a little warmer than avg. temps for the time of year I was told.

Greasemonkey - I guess I never really looked at it that way...

Vince M - "Olde Town" wasn't bad but there was more newer model car "Ricers" than I care for there. But it was good because I was only a 10 minute walk from the place. Stayed at a place called "Tropical Palms". I was there pretty much all night and got to see everything. I went on this trip with the Girlfriend and her Parents, so I was pretty much left to follow their schedules. Which sux cause I pretty much only saw a few things at Disney and went to Tampa Bay to swim. Not free to "roam", if it had been my planned vacation I'd certainly have gave a shout to all down there. Although I don't have much in the way of "war stories" (only owned it 8 months and drove it 4 so far) to tell...yet. I'd have to let you drink all the beer tho...cause I don't drink. Reason...need more money to spend on the truck.

Thanks to all who replied

I was in Orlando last week too, along with millions of other people, most of 'em between me and where I needed to be.
But I have to admit the weather was perfect.
