Default South Florida GTG #12 for VW/Audi Enthusiasts - Feb 28, 2004!!

<center><img src="http://www.bosintl.com/JettaVR6/11thGTG/11thGTG.jpg"></center><p>That's right...the time is coming once again for the official South Florida Get Together for VW/Audi enthusiasts! Our next event has been scheduled for February 28, 2004, a Saturday, to officially begin at 11:00AM. We will again hold the event at Markham Park in western Broward County, which provides an excellent high-visibility central Florida location with easy access from I-75, I-95, Sawgrass Expressway, and the Florida Turnpike!

The event is open to all VW and Audi enthusiasts. The main-grounds parking will be reserved for owners/drivers of air-cooled or water-cooled Volkswagen or Audi models of any vintage. Parking is available along the perimeter of the event for non-VW or Audi driving guests.

The South Florida Get Together remains unique among car shows and GTGs by remaining FREE to attend and open to all ages! Markham Park has a $1.00 admission fee; parking and access to the event grounds is free. Food and drinks will be available - for $5 you can purchase a food ticket which will give you unlimited food and drink as long as supplies last - AND entry into our raffle giveaway! Our unique (and collectible) T-shirts will be available before and during the event; watch for a separate thread when the shirts become available, and look for our staff selling the shirts at local weekly or monthly gatherings before the GTG! Dozens of well-known sponsors will be attending the event as vendors, or donating prizes for the raffle. Several vendors will offer installation on-site with their own expert staff. We will post more details about our sponsors and vendors as the event draws closer.

With over 320 cars and over 500 people attending our last show, and more expected for this event, the South Florida Get Together has become one of the largest VW/Audi shows in the U.S.! Euro Tuner magazine has covered the past two events, with a nice multi-page article on the event in the September 2003 issue. The last event was attended from throughout Florida, and as far as Atlanta and North Carolina! With the park located within 30 minutes of South Beach, downtown Miami, or the Fort Lauderdale beaches, out-of-towners can enjoy a full Florida vacation weekend of sun and sea, or nightlife and debauchery! Hotels are also available close to the park in the cities of Weston and Pembroke Pines.

Though we are all enthusiasts, we do not support, tolerate, or endorse ANY reckless driving, speeding, or lawbreaking at the event. Police have been hired for the event, and uniformed police and squad cars will be on-grounds for the day. Our event staff remains voluntary and unpaid, and the event remains non-profit. All money collected goes towards reimbursing staging expenses or organizing the next event.

Additional information, updates, park maps and addresses, and pictures from past events can be found on the event website, at www.sflgtg.com.

As usual, please post here if you will be planning on attending the event, to help us ensure sufficient staff and supplies to host the GTG, and make it the best ever!

Default Not far from Miami at all - about 30 minutes north

The park is Markham Park, and is at the intersection of I595, I75, and the Sawgrass Expressway. From Miami, most people come up I-75 northbound straight to the park. The park is at the southern end of Broward county near the Dade border.

Miami provides our largest attendance - last event, roughly 90 cars out of 320+ were from Miami.

Attendance last year was predominantly from Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, with large caravans coming in from Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Atlanta. We had attendance from as far as North Carolina last year!

The Audi Club of America - Florida Chapter held one of their monthly meetings at our 10th event...and Audi folk have frequented since the 4th event. Last show, we had approximately 30-35 Audis present.

30 to 40 miles from down town Miami.
I 95 to 119 St, go west to I 75. Go north to Arvida Parkway (only goes West). On Arvida, first set of lights is Weston road. Make a right (north). Keep going and this will take you straight into Markam Park.
