The Florida Landcruiser Association Main FLCA Site Orlando Chapter | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 | A site for fans of Toyota Landcruisers old and new. The kind you use every day - and ocasionally get dirty. Some are pure "restorations" while others are customizations where the old was replaced with new - be it a fiberglass body or a chevy 350 engine. All contributions are welcome: letters from the trail, photos, news, used parts, or cash. Happy trails! | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Hello Cruisers,
Just got back from my bonus day (Monday) up in Ocala. The final count
(un-official) was 18 Cruisers, 2 Four-runners, 1 Chevy, 3 Jeeps, a 3
mountain bikes. There were a total of 52 FLCA family members and 14
guests for a total of 66 people. There were also 4 Cruiser Dogs. Weather
was great. Kinda cold friday night, but nice. Clear skies, lots of
stars, and no rain.
It was nice to meet many of you for the first time as well as see your
Cruisers. Got some great ideas for the work-in progress here at my
house.
Brian has advised me that Eric Lansaw was the lucky winner of the
Hi-lift jack. Congrats Eric!
A special thanks to Barry Robertson and his friend James Stevens from
the B.F. Goodrich Safari Triathlon for leading the trail ride. Also
thanks to the members of the Ocala Off-Road Club and others who joined
us. There's a lot more other trails to explore so we need to get out
there more often. If anyone plans any trips anywhere, please be sure to
post it so others can join in if possible.
The campground was really nice, except for the no-reservation hassle
that caused some of you to be camping in different areas. Incidentally,
the campground was virtually vacant on monday. Brian and I spoke with a
park employee on Monday morning. He told us that part of the
over-crowding problem we were experiencing was due to the hoiliday
weekend. He said we would have no problem getting a large block of
adjacent sites during a non-holiday weekend. Something to think about
for next time.
New officers were elected/appointed as follows:
If anyone has any good pics from the weekend that they feel would be good for TT publication, be sure to let me know. We got a good response from our last chapter report in TT and I would like to get another write-up/photos about this weekend in TT if possible. Our next chapter meeting will be held in the Tampa area on March 20th. This meeting is still in the planning stages. Plans for the meeting will be posted as soon as they develop. Thanks again for all attendees who made this our best turn-out yet. They keep getting larger and larger!! Let's do the same and keep the streak going for our March meeting in Tampa. Those of you who are going to GSMTR this year can get your application on-line at the STLCA web page: GSMTR Application As the event will be limited to only 150 trucks this year, you need to get your application in ASAP! | |||||||||||||||||||||||
