Trust me--it is the best in Orlando traffic. Limo service from MCO is very sporadic and not that reliable, and I don't know of public transit there.
Ah, Orlando traffic in January. You've got Brits driving on the wrong side of the road, Canadians and Germans speeding about, and then there's those nuts from NY..........
We send most of the guys like you straight on down to Miami green But I do admit, I look forward to finally meeting you
I received an invitation titled "CCG FUN Show Luncheon Invite 2014" on December 2nd. RSVP by December 20th. Let me know if you can't find it in your inbox (possibly spam filtered?), and I can forward the email to you. Shoot me a PM.
For those who like to plan ahead, the FUN site has finally posted the dealer directory and table listing.
When the FUN show comes around I always wait to decide what I day I will attend, and I only attend 1 day, so that I am able to meet as many friends and forum members as I can. I live here, and can drive to the show, so my schedule is completely flexible, yours may not be. So if you can folks, and if you are interested in meeting, please post what day or days you will be attending.
I plan on being there on opening day and Friday.........maybe Saturday too. We'll see how much the wife can take.
Or you can take from the wife..... Actually she must be an angel. I hear opposites attract. :>) GDJMSP: Thursday or Saturday anytime, Friday A.M.
My lady is looking forward to getting rid of me for a few days. I'm working on a post of who will be there and what days. If you have a table there, please post your table #. It's going to be Fun.

You don't have to be a member. Please post if you plan to be there.
In another thread, Peter Davis said he was considering attending this show. Has anyone heard any more?
No more. In fact, this is the first that I've heard of it. Would be most wonderful indeed to meet the founder of the forum in the environs of of FLA......
Shame on you green18. He was even responding to a statement made by you. Check out C-B-D's thread: "Anyone going to the FUN in Orlando this week" dated 07/08/2013. See post #16. Be aware, my mind is a steel trap! It's just a bit rusty, that's all. :>)
Looking like Friday is gonna be the best day to meet folks this year. As for meeting Peter, I wonder how many would be as surprised as I was once you meet him in person. Not surprised at meeting him, but rather surprised at what he's like once you do. Peter and I have gotten together several times over the years. But that first time, he was definitely not what I had expected. But that's part of the fun I guess of meeting people in person that you know from on-line. Your minds eye kind of puts together an expectation of what the person is like.
