I think that there are some SHO people in that area.
FSHOC (Florida SHO club) and Don Donnelson are in the
area. Kelvin Turner is there too (I think).

Anyone?

Theres another SHO club that started up about a year or so ago in
jacksonville. Tara M runs it with some other people and she can be found on
SHO Forum.

Regarding the club I started years ago, It got to the point that I was
spending so much time for the one quarterly meeting and when you only get 1
or2 people showing up .... it got a little discouraging.

Mark .. fwiw .. I sent e-mails stating if participation didnt pick up I
would shut the club down ... and when this happened .. i told everyone that
the club was being shut down.

And whos Ian calling a whore ?

Mark may believe it's defunct because it seems to be "TCCA South". I suspect
that there is an upper age limit of maybe 25 or so!! ;-)

I thought I'd replied to this topic yesterday... guess it didn't go through.

Anyway, looks like you've gotten in touch with the guy that you needed to be
in touch with. Good luck with the car.

And FSHOC does exist. We've got a meet planned for the 30th of this month
in Daytona. I believe that they are looking to spend the middle of the day
at Daytona USA, then go take some SHO pictures on the beach. After that
we'll probably eat at Bubba Gumps. Against all common beliefs, SHO owners
of all ages are welcome.
