November is a month of "Remembrance" Cruises and Car Shows. I will list them here after I have attended them. Please check back.

November 26th, I received an announcement from Duke Davis that the Wednesday Nite Cruise-In is moving to a new location starting next week. December 1st, 2004. The "Red Fire Grille of Kissimmee" is the newest sponsor. The location is at the Quality Inn and Convention Center located at 2050 East Irlo Bronson (Hwy 192) between Kissimmee and Saint Cloud. Across the street from the Denny's and just to the West of the Driving Range on the souht side of the road. See you there!

November 20th "Mustang Mike" was invited to Poffenbaugh Ford - Lincoln - Mercury in Saint Cloud for a "Ford" only show. 26 cars showed! it was a good turn out and well liked by the spectators and Dealership personal. Photos and Winners page is under other/November 20th. Sorry I did not make it to Old Town.

November 17th and !8th the regular Wednesday Nite Cruise-In and the Thursday Nite Cruise-In were great as usual. Next week we will Cruise on Wednesday but the Thursday Nite Cruise is taking the night off for Thanksgiving.

November 13th, at Old Town, I had the privilege (as did many others) in meeting John Sutton with Motor Snippets, a UK online Classic car information website www.motorsnippets.com you may even see your car on this site as he was taking many photographs and information from "Cruisers".

November 7th we took the Ranchero to the 5th Annual Veterans Day Car show at the Citrus Tower in Clermont. There were about 200 cars and a few special displays, including the Military Vehicle Restoration guys. A Fly over at 1:00 during the Veterans Day ceremony. DJ Butch Johnston called out the Numbers and filled in the quiet with Oldies. The "Dukes of Harmony" were on center stage from 1:30 to 3:30. It was a good time, had by all. Photos can be seen here.

November 6th, at Old Town, I had the privilege of meeting Pete Stafford. Director of Sales, of US Auto of Bedford, England. He is currently restoring a '60 Falcon Sedan over there. His company is responsible for getting parts and supplies overseas to help the American Car collectors over there. There are several clubs that "Cruise" the "American Dreams" over there. We hope to be including some photos and stories about events in the U.K. on the www.sbcno.com site.

Ron Hood reports from the Veterans Day Parade in Orlando on the 6th of November. Then the air show at Orlando's Executive Airport.

Some of our regular "Snowbirds" have comeback to join us. The Saturday Nite Cruise at Old Town has gained it's strength, and 300+ cars are once again hitting Deac Hundley Blvd. at 8:30 on Saturday Nites. The Wednesday Nite Cruise-In and "Mustang Mike's, Saint Cloud Thursday Nite Cruise-In are also starting to return to the pre storm attendance.
