Not sure if it is exactly your cup of CAB but there ought to be some nice cars tearing around!

Tucked away in the quaint town of Safety Harbor, Florida,the “Spa” has remained a highly revered refuge for rest and relaxation for nearly 100 years.Central to the resort’s storied past and today’s international popularity is the acclaimed spabuilt on the ancient natural mineral springs that run beneath the resort. In 1539, Spanishexplorer Hernando De Soto reached the shores of this very site and discovered the naturalmineral springs, believing he had found the legendary “Fountain of Youth.” American Indiansvisited the springs and inhabited what is now the Safety Harbor area almost 2,000 years ago.NOW, in November, 2018, British cars and drivers will arrive for a weekend of relaxation andfun at MG Jamboree 21.At this MG Jamboree there will be two car shows open to all British cars…one on Friday atthe Spa and another on Saturday as part of the Dunedin Celtic Music and Craft Beer Festival.Also on Friday evening guests can stroll the Main Street in Safety Harbor for the Street Fairand Music Festival.

Or, you canstay at the Spa and be pampered by their attentive staff and pools offering the healingmineral waters.
 
If shirts and shoes are required, I'm not so sure it's for doc.
 
The Saturday show has been attended in the past, good time and plenty of cars. It was a sweater and socks-n-shoes day. The toffee nosed crowd have their affair the day before. :smirk:

Still trying to decide if the MG will be participating. The rebuild is now 12 years old, it's not exactly show material. We'll see.

A couple previous show shots:

We have an organization called FuelFed up in this neck of the woods that holds Cars & Coffee events in several of the more "well-to-do" communities around Chicago. I knew it was going to be a good bunch of people when our rusty and crusty little red Morris Mini wagon got just as many or more lookers than the big money Ferraris and Lambos and Aston Martins..... Especially a hit with the little ones. That doesn't happen too often. :smile:
