thanks for doing that, that's cool that you are willing to drive that far.

should be a fun day!

 

I've got family in austin so if I'm visiting them i'll give me something to do on the weekend

 

This sounds like a great time! I doubt my Z will be in good enough condition to drive down but I will make it with or without her - as long as the Army doesn't relocate me before then...

Someone mentioned the idea of a little "swap meet" several posts ago - I'm sure we all have a few spare parts in the garage... Might help us pay for the gas or at least lunch!

 

i would love to go as long as sum houstonians meet up before we take of to austin since i never been there and would git lost lol !!

 

Glad to see the plans are coming together. I would have prefered Salt Lick BBQ, but I'm open to any other place. I guess I'll have to pick up some Salt Lick on the way up the day before

 

I've got southtexasfbodies covered. Post is up in our 3rd Gen section.

 

Trying to come up with some ideas/activities for the gathering - what do you all think?

It was mentioned in a few posts about doing a little swap meet at the same time - we all have extra parts lying around... Might help pay for lunch!

If we could get a real commitment from a large enough group some type of competition in show would could be fun, something like Best Custom Paint, Best Mods, Most Original/Stock, etc. that eveyone could vote into...

Cruise! Find a nice stretch of road that we can cruise down and enjoy the afternoon...


Thoughts? Suggestions?

 

I like the idea of a informal competition, when we get a firmer count of who all is bringing their cars, we can can fill out ballots with everybody's car on it, and different categories next to each name/car.

Sounds like fun, as long as people don't get their feeling hurt...

as for the swap meet, that sounds good, but it would mean some people would have to bring TWO vehicles, one being a truck. Unless we just all want to being small stuff.

 

I'd like to think that we're all big enough adults not to let that happen!

I see the problem with parts... Maybe do lists & ship it all or something - IDK...

Now I've got to stop spending so much time on here and get some work done on my Z so she'll be ready!

 

I'll bring stuff (link is in my sig) if people ask for it. Like everyone else....I'm not gonna haul a bunch of stuff out there just to HOPE somebody wants it.

 

I'm with you steven...

BTW, can't tell you how many times I've gone to a thread on TGO, seen that gathering graphic, and think "oh I've already posted here" LOL

seriously, I think its great that we're getting the word out, four months from now NOBODY will be able to say "I didn't hear anything about it"

 

I'm in seeing as how cool it was at the last meet. I do know one thing. I want a ride in afas92's Z28. That thing was such a monster I hurt my cheeks smiling Count me in!

 

how much for the gta wheels?

 

That makes the most sense - as time gets closer I'll put up a list of what I have available and go from there...

 

I like that idea... maybe we can start a special swap meet thread a month before the gathering and everybody can list what they have, and those attending can request that certain things get brought

 

Good plan!

 

I'll try to be there sounds like a good time.

 

I suggest that the swap meet thread be started in the SouthCentral Classified forum, that way people can leave each other feedback.

It also means that people searching the national classifieds will see the thread, the items available and may want to come out to the meet.

 

brilliant!

Just wondering, has it always been there, and why is the South central the only regional forum that shows (on my screen at least) a regional specific classified?

 

We have had it for more than a year. When I complained that most of the posts in SouthCentral were "for sale" or "wanted" and you can not leave feedback based on posts in SouthCentral it was created for us.

There is a sticky at the top of southcentral about it.

There is also a link to it above that.

 

that's cool... I see it now, but I thought it was interesting that it was so exclusive

we'll use it for sure. Should add a lot to the gathering.

 

How about a twisty, lake shore road cruise?

Thread about our last club run with videos.....
ATGO thread

 

I've been down that road before. It can be fun.
I would be up for something like that.

 

Looks to be a bit of a distace from the meet... I guess if enough people are in and the weather cooperates then count me in as well!

 

I'd be up for that... I'd love to get a photo of all the 3rd gens in front of the capitol, but it would be a nice little hike from georgetown to there, and I can't think of a place that we could actually photograph the cars near there

 

darnit yall need to quit this. yall are making wanna go now know matter what. how far is that road from roundrock?


how many people are going from the houston area. how early are yall willing to meet up somewhere to get going.

hey maybe we can get a list going on the first post. put numbers with who all is going. not sure if you want to go thru the trouble but maybe also post where they are coming from.

 

Georgetown is a few miles north of round rock. Glad to have you (maybe) on board!

I'm sure we'll get more of a head count in the next couple of months

 

man i want to go. it s going to be a lot of driving. us houston guys are going to have to get together on here. who will be bringing what tools. how many stops will have to made for fuel. it is a lot of driving as said. but the ability to possibly see 30 or more third gens going down the road all together is friggin priceless.

 

Its not that far....Don't be a wimp!

Straight east on 620, to the 2222 area. Not far at all!

It runs from 620 to 1431, but the fun part is from the halfway point between 620 & 1431. Lohman's Crossing to 1431

I got a 84 Z28 parts car years ago, because one kid got a "little too happy" on one bend! Just 1,700 miles on the brand new crate engine he put in. Now it is in my brother-in-laws 50s F*ord truck.

1431 just outside of Cedar Park & out towards Lago Vista can be just as much fun, but that might be a little far for the DFW & Houston people. But I'm game for more if they are!

 

not no wimp here. just an awful lot of driving on a 17 year old car. well half of it. wanna get closer to it to see if a bunch are going. we need to bring parts and tools. but i am leaning towards it big time. trust me man. drove a 12 second ext cab truck about 800 miles in one day. no problem. it was an 02 to. i will be going over mine many times to make sure it can do it all. ut i do have to be home the same day.

 

good for you.... looks like somebody is reading his own signiture

 

not only a sig but a belief. and always will be.

 

lance i am in, i WILL be there and a caravan would be awesome

 

i figuered you and esc would be in. but want to know if it is us 3 or are there more. if it is just 3 we will get there quick. but remember im stock so yall cant leave me too far behind.

man that would be around eleven from h-town so far if all showed up.

 

OK DFW & Abilene....The gauntlet has been thrown down. Beat 11 coming!

If ATGO doesn't "win", with the least amount of distance to be traveled....

 

well if this is going to be a gountlet. there are more here. we just need to get them going.

 

well gilbert has his new baby, anthony may be down for it, justin MIGHT i don't really know, where are all the guys from the north side in this thread? mike, neal, red92rs, reidflemming, zane, the guy with that really nice 91/92 same color as mine...

 

Okay, should we start a headcount in the first post??? Something like Group Name, then underneath the attendees. We could update it monthly up until June, then update weekly.

 

sounds good to me. Steven or a mod would have to be the ones to do it though

 

Sounds like a good idea, but I think I (stePHen) will do it. I won't ask steVen or a Mod to.

(sorry.....the spelling is a real pet peeve of mine does anybody EVER misspell stephen king's name? I DOUBT IT!)

 

actually, I probably would... LOL

sorry about that Stephen

 

First post updated with names & locations....Houston is in the lead!

 

i think jeffgordon will prob be going.

 

Coming from......DFW???????

 

I went and encouraged the DFW people to speak up. Yes, jeff is from DFW, and I'm pretty sure he's coming.

This is really early to take a head count, but I guess it doesn't hurt to see who all is interested

 

other people from other parts that have said they are coming... I'm pretty sure we'll ahve a good representation from north texas, based on the excitement about it at our own gathering a couple of weeks ago
