Awesome I'm kinda new to this and just looking for pointers and I have loads of questions it's cool to have a local to talk to

 

[Jimbo_Slice]

Yeah I agree there is a group for the tampa area that seems to be pretty active on here. I am new to the forums but have been in the hobby for a few years.

Tampa has some great stores locally I have been to several. Some are a hit or miss but really work with you.

They seem to be hit or miss. Some have no problem while others see them eat Zoas. I have always gotten rid of them if I see them.

Welcome to R2R, I'm from Lakeland myself. I need to head over to the Tampa area more often. I've gone to a couple stores off of Hillsborough Ave, that were pretty decent.

 

[cobraz]

Welcome... I'm in Lakeland also.. and work in Tampa. Any of you guys belong to a local club ... looking to buy and swap ?

 

[Jnickles85]

I honestly don't know of any local clubs or how they advertise. I've been in lakeland for over 20 years.
