Visiting from the uk any car shows or places to go

I'm not sure of any Ferrari places here in Orlando (heh), besides the Ferrari of Central Florida dealership on Lake Destiny Dr. THere is Race Rock Cafe on International Drive, but as far as I remember it, it's more for the "Southern Racing" fan, if you know what I mean.


As far as interesting places, we have Disney, Universal Studios, Downtown Orlando for nightlife, and of course numerous malls depending on the money you have to spend.


Where exactly are you staying?

 

If you are driving to Miami, you can stop by Shelton Ferrari, the Swap Shop Ferrari Collection, and The Collection Ferrari.

Then just sit on any corner in Boca Raton, or South Beach, and you will see all the Ferraris you want.

 

the harley dealer in orlando should be able to rent you the bike to drive to daytona. it's short, less than an hour each way. do you have the proper drivers license for a motorcycle? no helmets required in FL. there are a few gun ranges around town. they all rent pistols you can fire at their ranges. since you like walmart go in and buy a paintball gun and do some late night drive bys in miami. they like that sort of stuff in the 'hood. ;-)

 

Some options if you are staying in or around Disney.

Orlando Harley has openned another store on 192 just outside of Celebration and Old Town. Just Outside the Disney Property.

Friday nights at Old Town are 'Tuner' nights. Fast and Furious types with a younger and not really a family feel. In my opinion. Just Outside the Disney Property.

Saturday nights at Old Town are Muscle Cars and Classics. This has been shown on the SpeedTV show American Muscle Car a number of times and usually gets 250 or so cars. More of a family feel until latter in the evening.
If we go, I go between 6 and 8 pm. Just Outside the Disney Property.

In Lakeland they have the international Speedway. I did a thing there that cost about $400 or so dollars. You get a half hour in a class and then get to drive a Nascar type car around their short track for about 20 laps. Very fun.
This is about 25 minutes from Disney.

Celebration is the Town Disney built in the late 1990's. Very much what you would expect from Disney. During the time you are here they will have a number of events going on. Check out our site at www.Celebration.fl.us for details. This is at the bottom of the Disney Property.

Central Florida Ferrari is a friendly place. About 40 minutes East/North of Disney.

Drop me a note when you are in town and if Holiday's permit we can try and meet up.

You may be thinking of the NASCAR Cafe over at Universal. Race Rock covers all forms of racing, even extending to swamp buggies and hydroplanes. I remember sitting once in front of a mannequin wearing Ayrton Senna's uniform and helmet. There is something for everyone, and the food is pretty decent as well.

 

Unfortunately no events during the time you are here... I'll post if something comes up. With family in for the holidays, don't think I can play host...

 

My guess would be around $2 per mile on average.

They might have a good shuttle service from the hotel you are staying at. Ask the front desk about getting around without a rental car.

not much going on right now in orlando but shootstraight, an indoor shooting range is always open. its 15 minutes from disney. in live 5 minutes from disney in bay hill. let me know ill give you directions. you can rent guns or bring your own, i have a 40 cal glock. ladies shoot free on mondays. scott. p.s. you can also shoot shotguns in there also.

 

I can offer you to come by the test days of Daytona Thursday 4- Friday 5 of Jan. I will be working those two days with the Cup cars #88 and #89 and another with number not yet assigned but probably #87.

Feel free to come by and ask for Martin. At the same time the Prototypes will be practicing so it will be a lot of action. If I remember right there was no admission for the test days but I may be wrong and it will cost you a few bucks. The good news is, you get really close and see the cars in the garages. Test days is the best time to catch drivers relaxed.
