Whut's Up in Orlando

Here's the deal -- I have to give a speech at a conference in Orlando on Wednesday 12/3 and Friday 12/5. This, of course gives me Thursday to drive around and do some car guy things. Anybody have any suggestions? Isn't there a mini-track at Mouse Land? I'm already thinking of driving over to Tampa where a guy in New Port Richey puts Rolls Royce bodies on a Chevy frame. But, I'm certainly up for whatever.

Thanks in advance, DrTax.

 

Actually, I'm interesting in check this out --

The guy apparently puts a real Silver Cloud body on a new Chevy frame with a new 327. You get the classic Roller look with a new GM parts.

As somebody who has fuked around with old Brit bikes for way too long, I have had it with British technology. (Sorry Chaps.) (Want to hear a bad Brit joke? How come the British don't make computers? Simple, cause they can't figure out out to make them leak oil.)

But I love the look of old Rolls, so....

Also the Richard Petty deal is apparently still going on... I guess if I want to appeal to my inner Bubba, I can do this. (Who was it that described stock car racing as, "Floor it. Turn left and hang on?)

But if you can think of anything else to do, please advise.

I'm actually an old North Florida cracker. I even went to FSU before Bobby Bowden! (In my day, we used to say that one should go Freak and not Greek because it was a better rush.) We used to go down to Orlando while Mouse Land was being built and fill up my pickumup truck with citrus from the abandoned groves. Because my old truck had a hole in the bed, we'd leave a trail from Orlando to Tallahassee of squashed oranges.

Any rate, thanks for any insights you or anyone else might have.
