We are obviously still waiting for our finished TTMMC website so please excuse us while we try to get it right, meanwhile....
February 19th Caravan and Scavenger Hunt
Something different for a Sunday starting in Safety Harbor at 10am February 19. Lets gather in the parking lot behind Starbucks on Main Street Safety Harbor. We'll set off for a relatively short drive to the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum at the Gateway Center in Pinellas Park. If you have never been or haven't been to the Museum in a while you are in for a treat, the Art and Car Collection just keeps growing. The new additions to the building and the collections are superb and the treasure hunt they have planned for us looks to be very entertaining. We are trying to keep admission cost and lunch to only $10 and will let you know if that changes.
Here's the cliff notes:
10am parking lot behind Starbucks 100 Main Street, Safety Harbor FL 34695 (access via 2nd Street South)
Coffee, restrooms, chit chat, photo-op, get route map
10.20am (or close to it) head to Bayside Bridge where if we get it right there will be someone at the top of the hump with a camera waiting to snap the MINI Parade
11am or close to it, reach the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum for tour and treasure hunt
12.15pm (if we're lucky) Lunch and Prizes
A tie-breaker question might be to find out who at the Museum had a 02 R53 when they first came out...just sayin'
The more of us make it there the better the prizes ....
