Oh man, I wish I would have seen this sooner. I could have trailered my GSL-SE down to the Austin area and done that drive. Maybe next year.

ugh dammit, car will be in the shop then

 

I think the Houston and South side should gather in Galveston or somewhere for the drive up.

 

sounds good to me! Ive been waiting to take a ride to austin with some other 7's
count me in. Im down to meet up in Galveston too. I live like 20 min. from there.

 

I live about 45 minutes away - but should add some time to the drive up.

Maybe meet along the seawall or?

 

Maybe meet at the Gulf Greyhound Park so its not too far for some people but still add a little time to the drive?

 

Keith,

Is this still on? May 5 is approaching fast!!!!!!!!

 

oh man, my car is still in the shop

 

I'm getting ready for the drive. Just waiting to see who is going and where we meet up for the drive.

My car is on jackstands right now because I'm installing an aluminum flywheel and ACT clutch. I had hoped to get it put back together by this weekend but my counterweight didn't arrive and is due tomorrow.

Anyone want to come over and help stab a transmission? Please? hehe

One way or another - I'll be ready.

 

Are you still selling it? There may be a lot of people interested in it on the drive! Anyways, anyone here from Keith yet? You know I am in, just wondering when.

 

Still for sale... I'll have to lead the pack and give everyone a good look at the back of the car. Guess I can put the for sale sign there.

 

Meetup Details:

When: Saturday, May 5th 2007 - Meet at Whataburger located at 17480 W Grand Pkwy, Sugar Land, TX (Hw 59 @ 99/Grand Parkway) between 8:30 and 9 AM for breakfast. Drivers meeting at 9:15 AM and on the road by 9:30 AM !! Don't be late !! Please gas up before arriving as there will be no gas stops before leaving for Shiner and few along the way.

Everyone is welcome and remember this is not a contest of speed although there will be more than a couple of opportunities to test those redlines. There are a few planned regroup spots, so those who want to take it easy can do so as well.

 

Hey Keith,
Are you meeting Tejas Miata & us anywhere before we arrive @ the brewery ?? Edge of town, the John Deere dealer lot, etc. ??

We are looking forward to meeting you & all the Houston members.
LD.

 

I don't think we will be able to meet before the brewery unless we drive through town to meet you guys, since the brewery is on our way into town we can just meet you guys there. Additionally, I'd hate to hold you guys up for long if we aren't there at the prescribed time. Just make sure that you guys park in an area where we can fit our cars too!!

Oddly enough our drive is just under 120 miles total from the starting point (about 12 miles from my house), but if you map the shortest drive home back to 77074 it's just over 120 miles (via I-10). Not bad considering the out of the way route we take.

 

Hey chaos...Ever seen a couple of red verts off of De Bello??? I've never seen your car. What model is it, and how much is the asking price?

 

Pictures from the club run to Shiner have been posted, email me yours if you have any to add:

A group of Miatas, that would be!
