Re: Second Annual Texas Statewide Gathering
the list is on the first page is a car count for people bringing thirdgens. Love to have you join the group either way, but are you bringing a 3rd gen?

Re: Second Annual Texas Statewide Gathering
I am trying real hard to make it. Its on the calendar, just have to make sure it doesn't get bumped off by anything else! Looking forward to caravaning down there. I'll be in my 90 Iroc. i think I've got the cooling system fixed finally, otherwise there is no way it would make it in the heat down here (new to Texas still).

Re: Second Annual Texas Statewide Gathering
Thanks for the location Mark. Is anyone heading down from the plano area? Looks like it will take about 1 1/2 hours from here.

I'm sure there is, but I don't know exactly who. Maybe somebody will chime in here, or you can come by NTTGA and post on the thread we have going there.

Re: Second Annual Texas Statewide Gathering
I hope so. I've nursed it along the last 8 years or so and just dumped a bunch money into it to try and make it useful again. This will be the first big test. It hasn't ventured more than hour from home in about 6 years!

Re: Second Annual Texas Statewide Gathering
there will be a LOT of cars there that aren't show quality, including mine. Please bring it if at all possible. Seeing the great collection of thirdgens is what is so fun about it, and BTW, anybody who brings a third gen is eligable for the raffle prizes, and there are some very valuable things being given away. We're talking hundreds of $$ worth

Re: Second Annual Texas Statewide Gathering
Im gonna try to take the car. But ive gotta see how dependable it is first. I just got it last week with huge plans for it. But the last thing i want is it breaking down 6 hours from home. Im gonna test the waters around here for the next week or so and try to determine if it can make the trip.

Re: Second Annual Texas Statewide Gathering
My Biggest concern is GAS.
The freaking prices are ridiculous! 3.90 is the highest I've seen it. Hopefully I can get the v-tech 4 banger dropped in the IROC b4 the trip so that I can save on gas.....
Just Kidding. LMAO!

Re: Second Annual Texas Statewide Gathering
Yup, the higher these prices get the more I like my sweet little 305. Putting headers on it Saturday; we'll see what it does for mileage. About 330 miles to Georgetown for me but it's great to see all those 3rd gens.

Re: Second Annual Texas Statewide Gathering
fantastic! glad to have you, and don't forget to join us for the caravan from hillsboro to Georgetown
we're meeting at the braums right off the highway around 10 to 1030, and pulling out as a group right after that. the caravan is quite an experience, seeing 20 thirdgens either in front of you or behind you on the highway.
here's a map

Re: Second Annual Texas Statewide Gathering
OK, no sweat--if it's convenient I'd appreciate it but not a top priority. Right now I'm in the middle of installing headers, fully occupied. I'll check with Johhnydees. Maybe thay have an aluminum driveshaft, too.

I was checking the car show listings for central Texas and saw that this one is not listed. Might be worthwhile to contact them and get on the list.

Re: Second Annual Texas Statewide Gathering
I think it would be cool for the leader of the pack to the garage have a TX flag on their car somehow. I know Dan(JlIroc) has police flashers in his headlights from it's pace car days. Maybe his car can lead the pack???
