RX-Club of Houston - Road Trip/Scenic Drive - March 18th 2006
 

Well folks it's that time again, time to dust off those driving gloves and breakout the cheap sunglasses for a day of back roads and beautiful cars. This event will be a very special event as we will be meeting up with TWO Austin clubs.

The TexasRXs group and the Tejas Miata club will be heading our direction, while we head theirs. We will all meet in Giddings for lunch then head south to the Sterling-Mcall Old Car Museum.

Expect this adventure to take a good portion of the day. We will get started about 9am, have lunch by noon and be back in time for sundown as we return home. Total we are looking at over 200 miles of round trip driving so make sure you car is in shape to make the trip.

After visiting with the clubs and paying a visit to the museum we will wind our way back to Houston along some great back roads until we get close to the city limits.


If you are interested please send me a message right away, we are working on the logistics and need to get a firm commitment from those who will be joining us.

Meeting location: TBD (pending final route)
Meeting time: 9am (don't be late, or you will be playing catch-up)
Cost: Bring $$ for lunch, gas and $5 for the museum.

!!BONUS!! for those of you who register in advance and show up to the event you will receive a surprise that will make your own road trip adventures a little easier and possibly more adventurous.

All three clubs are looking forward to this event. Let's hope that Giddings, Tx. can recover from all the excitement!!

Oh man, this sounds kind of fun. How many people are going to show up?

from the looks of things on rx8club, there's quite a few that are going to turn out, plus the miata guys always have good attendance at their runs. With their club and ours combined, plus all the Houston folks, it looks to be getting pretty big :)

**UPDATE**

The weather report for Saturday is starting to look less than satisfactory... there is a possibility this event will be postponed.

Stay tuned.

Cancelled
 

Based on current weather predictions for tomorrow it may be best to postpone this meeting as an official club event.

While there is a reasonable possibility we could start out the morning dry and sunny the chance of severe thunderstorms are fariy certain. Especially in the mid-afternoon which is when we would actually see our best backroads driving upon our return to Houston.

While I have great confidence in the drivers of this club it is unfortunate that I do not share that same confidence in other motorists out on the road.

I hope we can again soon in the future meet up with our fellow club members from Austin and take time out visit and get to know them better.

For those of you who want to brave the elements get yourself to the Texas Grill in Giddings by 11:30 AM tomorrow morning. This is where the Tejas Miata & TexasRxs are eating before going to the Old Car Museum in Warrenton.

Texas Grill is located at 2880 Hwy 290E, (979) 542-9546

You must RSVP with the Tejas Miata club leader directly. His email is thart2150@yahoo.com
