Austin-370Z: Cars+ & Coffee -> Sat, Oct 9
 
Where do we want to meet for October?

Keeping on the Starbucks theme, does anybody have a new
Starbucks/other coffee shop to suggest with a good open lot nearby?
We'll default to the standard spot off Anderson Ln if we can't think of a
nice new spot-

I'm in.

I'm in for finding a close park with a few picnic tables or something -- a change of scenery from the strip mall parking lot we've been meeting at.

Cool, I was thinking about somewhere near the 360 Bridge for the location
this week. Maybe one of the lookout points- I'll likely take a look after work today

Welcome to Facebook

Just saw you thread on the "intros" page. That's OK you don't know us yet, that's what these meets are for. We all just met each other this year anyway

I don't think I've ever been out that way (not an Austin native). Anything with "creek" in the road name sounds promising though. I think it would be cool to schedule a "ride" with some of the Austin folk. How long is the road?

Auston 10-04-2010 07:56 PM

What's up Kevin, this sounds good. I'm about to post a location for our
meet this Saturday (Oct. 9). Hope you can make it, it would be cool
to do something with your shop

Looks cool Austin. I'm cool with that far south (I live south anyway) hopefully others are OK with it as well.

A public race track with a speed limit lol.

I traced a route from 360 and 2222 through Lime Creek Rd to Anderson Mill Rd. Looks like 20 miles of absolute bliss. Maybe I'll give it a run before the meet on Saturday.

It's actually on the north side in the hill country area

kevin8086 10-04-2010 08:48 PM

yeah i hear ya about the speed limit but you dont have to speed through these turns to enjoy the balance of these cars. i dont really go over the speed limit out there but it's still a blast. let me know if you want to meet up and cruise through there, i havent had this car out there yet. i also just found the selenoid to unplug so the vdc and traction control (slip) is completely off for those of you that like to step the rear end out and do a nice drift without computer interferance

It would be fun to meet you at one of the Austin-370Z meets, we typically meet every
2nd Saturday for Austin-370Z: Cars+ & Coffee (this thread) and we meet
up as a group to head out to Cars and Coffee™ Austin in Leander- this is the last
Sunday of the month

Yea It's quite a bit north of Drippings Springs and the Hill Country proper, but It's south of the river and just north of Bee Caves rd. It's much closer to South Austin than where we usually meet. Good for me, perhaps not so good for others. But maybe I'm not thinking "Texas Big" -- to Texans maybe anything within 20 miles is "just around the corner" :)

Yea that's what I like about twisty roads, you don't have to drive at "straight to jail" speeds to get the thrill of sporty driving.

Maybe we could have a pre-meet meet where those who want to can meet up a couple of hours before the 6:30 meet and do the Lime Creek Drive, then we could head over to meet at 6:30

Also gauging interest in a pre-meet Lime Creek Rd run. Anyone want to meet up around 1.5 hours or so before the 6:30 meet and drive from 2222/620 To Anderson Mill and back. Probably take about 30 minutes or so each way. Plan would be to head to the 6:30 meet from there which would be just down 360 a ways.

Bullick Hollow Rd to Lime Creek Rd - Google Maps

kevin8086 10-04-2010 09:18 PM

i drive 400-700 miles a week for work so anything within 45 min doesnt seem far to me but i understand when people complain about the drive out here i guess. i just love it out here on the lake and being out on the boat all summer is great. guess ill see you guys sat as long as nothing comes up

Zaggeron 10-04-2010 09:29 PM

I meant the location Auston planned for the monthly meet is farther south than we usually meet ... I think most of the folk live up north except for me and austex.

Anyway I've separated out the discussion of a possible Lime Creek Rd drive into its own thread here

http://www.the370z.com/texas/25961-a...tml#post750950

Even if no one else is up for it, I might just do it alone before the Saturday meet

yellowZ 10-04-2010 09:30 PM

I'd love to go, but my Z is apart due to my stereo install. I'll be delayed for 3 weeks (business trip) so hopefully we'll get to do one of these in November and I'd love to join!

austex 10-04-2010 09:31 PM

had a great time meeting y'all at Cars and Coffee.

can't make this month's regular meet though...

ACL baby!

I am going to be out of town for this meet. I saw a yellow Z on 620 when I was at Rudys getting gas, heading on my trip North. Wonder if it was yours

Looks like it's going to be a good weekend. I know we are competing with ACL, but I hate ACL :) Who else is down for meeting up with some 370Z drivers?

Zaggeron 10-09-2010 08:12 PM

We had kevin8086, Auston, and Zaggeron for the pre-meet Lime Creek Rd. drive -- great road. Good to meet you Kevin.

The look-out point location was cool, but unfortunately too many out of town or at ACL for a good turnout.

kevin8086 10-10-2010 09:10 AM

nice meeting you guys too. glad you had fun on lime creek it really is a fun road
