I mentioned your website to him and he said he would check it out. I also mentioned the Festival Car Show this weekend and how we are expecting 800 vehicles or entrants, he was impressed with the total cars for a car show down here. Cool or what. Just wanted to share this with you, wow, the President of Meguair's Products on the phone with little old me. Thanks and keep up the good work. Dave Weber
 

 

LETTERS FROM THE MAILBAG!

Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2008  The Pep Boys Cruisin’ Series on Las Olas was a huge success Wednesday night.  Cars were lined up an hour early to get into the event.  In the first half hour we registered 100 vehicles.  By nights end there were classic cars stretched 4 city blocks on both sides of Las Olas.  Pep Boys entered the enthusiast community in South Florida in a big way that night.  Event participants were thrilled when they received PEP BOYS "Cruisin’ Series" tee shirts, don’t touch magnets, sample Mequiars products, stickers, vintage posters and had an opportunity to win prizes.  Many were asking when the next Pep Boys series event was scheduled so they don’t miss it. 
-Scott Stroughton     See Photos!

Next "Cruisin Series" events:  January 10 - Ocean’s 11 on Hollywood Beach, and return to Las Olas - January 14. 


Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2008  Last night, I invited a group of visitors to Ft. Lauderdale to join me at "Classics on Las Olas" classic car show on Las Olas Boulevard.  I was pleased to see that Russ Gagliano of Russ G Events Classic Cars, local classic car restorer and car show promoter, was there. Russ had acquired the sponsorship of Pep Boys who helped expand the show which is planned to be a monthly event.  The long lines of gorgeous, gleaming cars parked along both sides of Las Olas gave the street a festive and exciting mood and many “cruisers” were out to drool over these works of motor art and enjoy the “excuse” for a stroll on the Boulevard. A final count of 125 classics were in attendance.  Music by "Cruisin’ South Florida" and several radio stations who added their own activity booths added more entertainment and excitement.  Thank goodness, for with much of west Las Olas closed, awaiting re-construction, the street has been rather sad-looking and quiet these days.

I would like to commend Gagliano and Pep Boys for taking the time and effort to promote this wonderful hobby and business for many people in South Florida--and I am sure that the retailers and restaurants on Las Olas feel the same.  Adding tourist attraction value, foot traffic and local interest and flavor, the Classic Car Shows are a wonderful addition to our “things to do” list here.  And kudos to all the car owners who shared their beautiful machines with us.  They don’t receive much besides compliments and trophies, but they put many hours and dollars into their passion.  While taking in the balmy December night and sites, one of my visitors said, “No one in Michigan is doing this tonight!” and with the state of the auto business today, these cars are a part of history that is not likely to be repeated!  Thanks to Russ Gagliano and Pep Boys for keeping the old glimmer of Detroit alive in South Florida!

SOUTH FLORIDA'S LARGEST CAR SHOW!


'Festival Flea Market Mall' - Pompano - South Florida's Largest Car Show!
Forum Comments


December 7, 2008:
  What an absolutely AWESOME and INCREDIBLE event!!!  Where do I even start?

Well to start the day, our promoters, vendors, workers, and event staff arrived as early as 5am, in the dark and damp cold, to continue prepping for the arrival of what was to come. The day started out early looking questionable, with fog (and rain in some western areas). Many of the early arrivals showed up shortly afterwards, and by 8am when I arrived to setup sound, much of the lot was almost full already. From that point on, the cars continued to roll in, non stop, all day!

And boy did the cars roll in! ...breaking last years "Holiday" show record, with over 700+ of South Florida's finest show vehicles in attendance!  Every kind of show vehicle was on proud display for this day's mega-event!

By about 9am, the foggy and overcast skies completely cleared, leaving us what we consider the "picture perfect" South Florida holiday season weather! ...cool temperatures and sunny, with perfect blue skies! The weather was absolutely perfect!

Early on, participants were treated to free continental breakfast at the hospitality tent. The classic cars continued to roll in, as well as throngs of delighted spectators!

Added to this year's show, we were treated to some excellent "live entertainment". The live show started off with the Motown rhythm and blues performing talent of Ronny Walker, singing and playing keyboard and saxophone. He was a real treat!

Next up was the singing group 'Joey and the Gigolos' who put on an incredible performance of doo-wop and acappella. Their flawless show really pulled in the spectator crowd, where they had them dancing and hula-hooping in the parking lot!

Wrapping up the live show, as people were coming up for the awards presentation, was the National recording talent of Rachael Brown, who blew us away with her incredible voice and singing talent, doing some favorite rhythm and blues tunes.

As I said, it was and AWESOME and INCREDIBLE day and event! A HUGE "hats off" of thanks and recognition goes out to our promoters Dick Barton of 'DB Entertainment', and our show coordinator Russ Gagliano of 'Russ G Events'. These two guys have poured countless hours, days, and months of effort, preparation, and time, to make this show the successful mega-event that it was!

Thanks also goes out to all the sponsors, vendors, the volunteers and the "behind the scenes" workers who all had a part in the show. Thank you goes out to the "Festival Flea Market Mall" for hosting this huge event, and lastly, a BIG thanks to all of you car show folks who came out in support, as YOU are the show!

It truly was the "perfect" car show day! There were so many show people at this show, vendors, cars, and spectators, as well as great shopping and food in the mall, and great entertainment throughout the day! This show simply "pegged the car show meter" as one of the BEST shows in South Florida ...period!

From my personal place in the show, a lot of people stopped by with hello's, smiles, and compliments, and I thank you all very much for that. If I cut you short or didn't get to talk much with you ...I apologize. The "live" portion of the show kept me quite busy mixing, and unfortunately, I was un-able to get out and see most of the show, or get photos of everyone. I will post what I have, and post links to others as well.

Note:  If you would like to share your comments, there is a forum thread already started at: Festival Show.

Thanks again to ALL involved for a memorable event!  My photos coming soon...

HARLEY CRUISE TO THE KEYS!

"Car Guys Bike Run to the Keys"

Nov 23:  What a GREAT ride we had to Key Largo!  The weather could not have been any nicer!  Our little "car" group of riders consisted of 6 bikes, myself and Diane, Jack, Russ G, Chris, Bill (from Time Bandits), and ACE our gracious host. We were invited to join the Miami HOG chapter run, with close to 50 bikes total on a cruise thru the Gables, "Old" Cutler Ridge, and back country roads thru Homestead to our final lunch destination in Key Largo.  Photos coming soon...

Doral 2nd Annual Car & Truck Show!
by: DJ Scott the Music Man

Nov 16, 2008:  It was an ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS day Sunday, for the "2nd Annual Car & Truck Show" in Doral.  We had a nice turnout of spectators and about 70 great show vehicles from Dade and Broward Counties. In addition to the awesome cars, we were treated to some excellent "live" entertainment throughout the day on a large show stage. 

Starting off the show was the very talented 4 piece jazz, rhythm & blues band "Cool Beans" who performed some great 70's cover tunes... featuring everything from the Doobie Brothers to Santana. After they entertained us through the afternoon, we brought out Jamie Danger as "Little Miss Dynamite". She blew us away with her incredible singing talent as she did some old classic favorites, and got down with the audience!  What a voice!  The grand finale wound up with a patriotic moment that was enjoyed by all.  In addition to all the great live music, we were also entertained in the afternoon by performances of the local Doral Jazzercise Dance Team, featuring little dancers, teen-agers, and the moms.  It was a fun day for all.  Even Anthony enjoyed the day with us!
There were plenty of great giveaways, food, vendors, spectators, and activates for the kids as well. Congratulations to the winner of the large screen TV, and all the award winners!  We were ALL winners with such a great show!

For me, it was a busy jam packed day mixing live music at the stage, which didn't leave me any time to get out and walk around, or take pictures.  But not to worry, that is where Clem Flanagan stepped up and volunteered his own talent to go out and get some nice photos with my camera. Thank you Clem!  2008 Photos

If you missed it this year, be sure to make plans to come to the 3rd annual show in 2009.  Hats off to Jumpin Jack, along with the City of Doral, for super car show and a jumpin' event!

Scott, I want to share a site with your forum.
http://www.doverdragstrip.com/home.htm

This site represents Dover Drag Strip located in Wingdale, New York. I know we've got a few folks from the northeast down here that must have frequented that track. Long since closed; it refuses to die! The Dover Old Farts Club community is constantly adding pictures and stories to the forums on the site.

Check it out, even if you were never there. Blessings, JJ

Comments:  What a great weekend!

Show #1 @ Pompano Mercedes Benz was a nice show as first time shows go.  Nice cars & trucks, free food and drinks, Scott doing his usual fantastic DJ majic, and Jumping Jack taking care of business.  I hope this show is an annual thing.  The price was right too -FREE!

Show #2 @ Miami Lakes was a Veterans dream come true.  Thank you to all of our service men and women, past and present.  Without them we would not have car shows period.
The cars, the crowd. Scott was the best he's ever been, man is he a great DJ.  Jumping Jack was jumping at this show.  140 or so cars were there and the crowd was awesome. People traffic was nonstop, and a few new friends were made.  Free to boot.  How does Jack do it?

Say a prayer for our service men and women this Veteran's Day.

Cruise Night:  October 15, 2008

Comments: "Webhead" (Dave Weber):  Took a ride down to the Las Olas cruise Wednesday evening for a look see. Man was I surprised by the turnout of great cars. There were people directing traffic and assisting us in parking, smiling and chatting with us. A very pleasant experience indeed. Scott was doing his usual fantastic job (if you can it that, more of a love) playing a tremendous collection of songs that kept all of us happy. All in all it was a nice night out. The weather cooperated and the breeze was splendid. This is something that would be a welcome event to all. Thanks for reading this   Webhead

4TH ANNUAL P.B.S.O. CAR & TRUCK SHOW!


Sun, Oct 12, 2008 - North Palm Beach:  What a GREAT show!  Despite the hot and sunny weather, over 300 show vehicles attended this first class event!  The show was sponsored by the "Palm Beach Sheriff's Office", and they did an superb job! Our host was the incredible "Cars of Dreams" museum!  Words can't describe this amazing collection of some of the world's finest and rare cars, displayed in a most wonderful setting!  It was truly breathtaking!  South Florida's finest street classic's rolled in steady all day, to this annual event.  I saw a lot of familiar faces from Broward County that came up to show support as well.  The show included top in class trophies, as well as an incredible 1st prize brand new 2008 car raffle giveaway, and 2nd prize a 42" large screen TV.  Tens of thousands of dollars were raised or donated for the PBSO charities.  It was my pleasure to be part of this years wonderful event!  A great job by all!  Watch for the photos to be available soon!

When you get a chance, check out www.christianrodders.org specifically the Hot Rod Camp tab. We are organizing a camp for Florida next year! I will send you a video so you can see last year's camp and conference building a pickup and this year two 32 roadsters (one old school and one modern) which debuted at Columbus - Goodguys. See you Sunday!

Jason, it was a real pleasure to meet you, and REALLY GREAT talking with you at the show!  I particularly look forward to seeing more from your great group, the 'Christian Rodders & Racers Assoc'.  It's great to be able to mix your faith with such a good hobby.  I encourage anyone interested to click the website, learn more, and maybe even become involved!  God Bless!

Tattoo Car Show Comments:

Tattoo Expo Car Show:  What a difference ONE day makes!  Sunday's car show weather was beautiful, clear, hot, and sunny all day!  Monday we watched as hurricane "Fay" rolled into South Florida, bringing in non-stop rain for 2 days now.  Summer car shows are always a gamble with weather, but we have been fortunate.  While the "Tattoo Expo Car Show" is typically the "hottest" (and most unusual) show of the year, there was plenty of shade lining a 1/4 mile or more of roadway, making for a nice comfortable setting.  In fact, I would say it is one of the better venues, as shade trees and grCLICK ME!assy areas lining the entire show make for a great setup for lawn chairs and umbrellas.  The tropical breezes and shade kept everyone cool and comfy.  I also have to say that the spectators at this show really enjoy they cars, and are always very respectful.  They are an unusual group, and very nice people too.  The "Cruiser's of South Florida" always do a great job with this show, and awards are always handed out on time.  It was "my pleasure" to play some great requests too!  Congratulations on a job well done by all!  We look forward to next years show!  Also, watch for the Cruiser's "Toy Run" car show in December, which is always a lot of fun too!  -"DJ Scott"   (Photo courtesy of: E.J.Mac, Delray Beach)  CLICK PHOTO!

Scott you did one heck of a job keeping the music going and keeping everyone cool on such a hot day. lol. Steve Schwartz you put on another great show and I commend you both. I just want to say to everyone and including the participants who brought out all their beautiful cars your such a great bunch of people and have a great family going. You guys and gals are such a class act. Alot of you we haven't met but associate your face with your car. We try to go to as many as we can. And after being out of the loop for awhile we can see what were missing. It stands out. Great Fun, Great people. You guys and gals stand alone to none. Having fun with great people and helping charities it doesn't get any better than that. Alicia Robert Chris

 

 

GREAT NEWS!  NEW CAR SHOW FORUM!

Sept 15:  EXCITING NEWS!  CruisinSouthFlorida.com now has an ALL NEW South Florida car show Forum!

This new forum has been in the works for some time now, but I have finally decided to announce it's arrival.  It is a very simple forum to use, and is being offered to our local South Florida car community as a place to chat with your car friends about local shows, issues, and your cars!

In addition to local chat, there is a "garage" where people can swap "technical" ideas and help, and a basement where you can chat about non-car related stuff.  Even more great news... there will also be a place where you can list car parts and "cars for sale" too!  This will be available for "private" use only, and will be available FREE!

As stated. this forum is being offered for "private use" only!  No business ad's, spam, or listing's whatsoever!

This website and forum are "privately owned", and operation of it is at my discretion.  You will need to register with a valid email address.  The forum will be "moderated" by myself and others, and the general rules need to be understood and followed.  Courtesy and respect to each other will be of the utmost importance!

Forum Rules & Guidelines (Please Read!)

It has become too much work to keep up with comment book posts, so this should serve as an outlet for car people to share their thoughts, opinions, and chat with their friends in "real time" on this website.  Since I am offering a place to sell cars too, I will no longer be posting new ads on the "cars for sale section" of this website. 

Adjustments and changes to the forum will be made along the way, as needed too.  The forum is not very complex, and the software has some technical issues, so there may be an upgrade or change needed later. You can read about the issues and see some important info here...Forum IssuesDJ Pic

My BIGGEST hope is that we will all be polite and respectful to each other, and this will be fun, and a "cool place" to hang with our car buds!  You can email me if you have any ideas or issues...or just share them on the forum.

It is also my hope that this new forum will serve as another enhancement to this website, and to our great hobby...CARS!

Check out the new forum here...Forum

Take care...and have a GREAT weekend!  See you at the show Sunday!

Over 150 cars at today's event.  It was hot and sunny, and it was a great show!

Show comments from Dave Weber:  Attended the "World Ford Cars of The World Show" Sunday. 150+ cars ventured out in the sun and heat to participate in the 1st ever show at World Ford. There must have been 60 Mustangs and 60 Corvettes there. If only we had a dragstrip close by !!!!!! Scott wowed us again with his magical tunes, reminding us all of our younger days. I have to say a special note of thanks to the people at Breathless Performance. They invited me to join their group without hesitation, not like the other [     ] clubs that only told me not to park with their clubs cars. Thank you to Scott and Mickey from BP, you so inspired me that I joined your club. Even my friend with a Mustang was impressed on how your club treated both of us. Thank you again.

The comradery was great, the music was invigorating, and being there on-site, was a must see event that couldn’t be matched. Scott the Music Man made sure we left completely entertained! Our host Russ G was most thoughtful to our needs. My advice to all is looking on the upcoming show lists, find out when they are going to be and attend them. Every weekend hundreds of car lovers pull their prized possessions out of the garage and head to parking lots from dusk till dawn rain or shine, 52-weeks a year, this loose-knit community comes together to celebrate cars. Show your passion and excitement that so many in Southern Florida have for vintage/exotic/performance cars.

Comments:  Thanks ! to all of you who attended our first Movie/Cruise Night. Over 75 cars parked in Huizenga Plaza, under star studded clear skies to see "Ghostbusters" (1984)... The city's choice of Movie....not mine. Cars in attendance ranged from street rods to Ferrari's to Cobra's to T-Birds to Muscle Cars to Packard's and a......Duesenberg !!

Several Car Clubs were well represented including the FT. Lauderdale Region AACA, Starlight Cruisers, Mercury Club of South Florida, plus a dormant Club that is now back on the scene, the Pharaohs. A new Corvette Club, the Breathless Performance Corvette Club, under the direction of it's President Scott Argow, were very well represented.

The "Drive In" Movie is 75 years old this month. The first drive in was located in Camden, NJ  I am honored to have been a part of this memorable History in America. A special Thank You! to our own "Scott the MusicMan" for playing the Music we all love, and for the use of his large sound system for the Movie.

Hello South Florida! by: DJ Scott

Mon, July 7, 2008:    GREETINGS FROM SANIBEL ISLAND!  Well... here I am again writing you from another mini-getaway vacation.  I am currently on beautiful "Sanibel Island" at the west coast of Florida spending some "alone time" with Mrs. DJ Dee while the kids are away for the summer.  It is day #3 for us, and it has been very nice.  We have enjoyed the island life, dining, and incredible beaches from Ft. Meyers Beach, and Sanibel to Captiva.  This was our first time here.

LOCAL SOUTH FLORIDA NEWS:
Before we left, we enjoyed a GREAT 4th of July weekend!  Thursday night, July 3, we had a record turnout in Miami Springs for the annual Independence Day cruise.  The free event featured fabulous live performances by Johnny DeRose doing his "Tribute to Elvis".  The streets were packed to capacity with South Florida's finest show vehicles... and awards were given out to vehicles "best decorated" for the 4th of July. The 22" HDTV raffle was won by Joe & Michelle (Blue Cobra).  Show organized by: "Jumpin Jack Productions".

Friday, July 4th, we enjoyed our 1st annual show at "Lauderdale By The Sea"!  It was a beautiful day full of parades, patriotic spirit, and all the festivities.  There were street vendors, BBQ, kiddie rides, and a BIG tent that featured live entertainment by the band "Tucan Blue".  The city came out in full style to show off for one of our favorite holidays.  The weather was great, and the parking lot and street were packed full to capacity with show cars.  It was an excellent first show!  The 50" Plasma HDTV raffle was won by Jim Bauer in the Silver 2-seater Speedster.  He was more than happy to have to make special arrangements to get his incredible winning prize home.  The show was brought to you by: "Russ G Events".

DJ PicThis Sunday Night we will have our 1st new cruse at the Tijuana Taxi in Coral Springs, brought to you by Rockin Rich.  Please come out and support our newest cruise night.

I head back to Ft. Lauderdale later sometime today.  As you can see... I haven't had too much extra spare time, but I hope to be able to finally get caught up on photos in the next week or so.  As I get close to posting them...I will let you know.

Take care all...see you at the next show!   -DJ Scott

Guestbook Comments:

The 4th of July Show at Lauderdale-by-the Sea that Russ G ran was FUN for all. Family kids and car nuts. Not only was there Great Music (Me and Molly McGee) but Russ managed to feed and clothe us (free t-shirts), sand sculptures and a beautiful beach setting. Just wanted to say thanks to Russ, and you Scott for a super fun day. Also wanted to thank Steve Sutherland for driving home in his '40 Chevy, picking up his SUV coming back to help me bring home the 50" Plasma TV I won at the Raffle. Russ keep the good shows coming.

Hello South Florida! by: DJ Scott

June 24:  Hello South Florida!  I just got back from another out of town weekend getaway...a family weekend get together in Gainesville.  We did some boating, skiing, and swimming on the Suwannee River...and just enjoyed a few days of relaxation with family and friends.

I have received several emails & comments regarding photos for the "Festival Spring Show"...  and I'd like to answer you ALL at the same time...

YES... I will be posting the Festival Show photos as soon as I can get them done.  It is taking some time to go through over 700+ photos...selecting, editing, and posting...but they are being worked on and I will post them next.  The little "spare time" I have lately has been spent on getting caught up on chores around the house when I'm not away...or spending my little free time with the family.  I usually find time to do photos at my day job, but lately they are making me work too!

We have a couple GREAT shows coming up for our "4th of July" holiday weekend...

Thursday, July 3, it will be our annual "Miami Springs" event, a FREE cruise night which will feature live entertainment by Johnny DeRose doing his "Tribute To Elvis".  It's an open show and a family event, and there will be awards for best decorated vehicles as well as a Flat Panel TV raffle giveaway.  The show surrounds the Gazebo in the park on the Circle, and is brought to you by Jumpin Jack.

Friday, July 4th, we will have our 1st "Lauderdale By The Sea" Beach Blast Celebration car show on A1A at the beach.  This will be a street festival featuring a parade, vendors, food, awards, raffle giveaways, live entertainment, and of course, South Florida's GREATEST classic cars and show vehicles.  This "open" show is brought to you by "Russ G Events".

Sunday, July 13, will be the opening night of a brand new cruise spot, the "Tijuana Taxi Co" in Coral Springs. This FREE cruise night will run from 5pm-8pm every Sunday night featuriDJ Picng discounts and gift card awards, and is "open" to all.  They have an excellent menu and food.  This event replaces Zo's.  Great oldies music by my buddy DJ Rockin Rich!

There are some new shows, and old ones too coming in August...check them out here...Events.  It's going to be a "hot one" this summer for sure!!

Well, that's it for now...take care...see you soon!
