Thought of you yesterday when we wuz there...  From Tampa the slow way is to
take 60W to 19N - 1.5 hour drive. As you reach Homosassa there is a Flea
Market on the left - the road (Industrial Drive) is immediately after on the
right - since the road is divided you have to turn around and go back. The
fast way is to take 75N to 44, come across and go down 19S a few miles...

Things are a little shaken up there as his new building is starting
construction and he's currently divided up in two others. Ended up buying a
primo set of biege 91 sport seats (w/heaters) fer $400.00. 

He's currently got a 86/87 tq project car fer sale with a new clutch,
updated suspension bushings, TAP chipped (230hp) and 100 euros in front.
Needs pieces/parts (minor) and interior work but a junkyard scrounger could
get hisself a great driver for 1500.00. 

I looked over the 86 5Kt mule he's selling - I'd go for the tq he's got...

Looked over the 1.8T race car (very trick), and a new silver 1.8Tq 'road
car' with massive AP 4 pots and 17" rims (smallest rim that could be
fitted!). Also has the 4 red rings on each side ala BTCC.

Picked up a great Audi UK T-shirt (them guys get everything!). Shoulda go a
hat...

Looked over the 91 20V he's driving to Lime Rock (as we type) to sell. Car
is quick (and loud), but I didn't like the repaint... Them 3 spoke Borbets
are butt ugly. Interior was perfect - he took even better seats outa a wagon
(with the phone armrest) and put them in - I bought the old ones.

Hoppen's shop is off 75 south of Sarasota proper, then W about 4-5 miles.
