Depends on how hungover (or still drunk if it was a really good night) I am that morning. It's my 4 day birthday bash remember lol...

I'm always up for getting closer to my own saucer on the wall!

Yup I know. :)



The rest of you have no excuse. Let's do this! :driving:

We did that run Saturday and it was a blast. Surprised u guys don't do that run once a month!

I've been dying for that run and you guys ditched me. :shakes head:

And you see how many replies I'm working with here? I'm a one man Z crew over here. :p

drives
 

Is there any meet up or drives coming up im new to this.

Pintsize is trying to get folks together to do a drive this coming Saturday

Check out this link to a Sept 1 drive

And on the first Sunday of every month (next one is Sept 2) we meet up and go to Austin Cars and Coffee in Leander.

Pint - Sorry you feel you were ditched and you felt it necessary to say "screw Houston" in another post. To set the record straight nothing could be further from the truth.

Here's what happened after you and JAR left for lunch -

Two of the cars in the group have intakes that are very susceptible to ingesting water when it rains. After you guys left, we got as far as a gas station at 620 and Anderson Mill Road. That's why we didn't join you guys for lunch. The invitation was appreciated.

Instead five of us huddled under the pump canopy trying to avoid the driving rain that started back up after we had gotten out of the cars. We stood there for over an hour.

We finally decided to chance it and ride it out across the street at a taco restaurant. The dash back to the cars ended-up on everyone being soaked from head to toe. Guru had to snake around the lot for five minutes just trying to find a way to the restaurant with the least risk from puddles.

Once at the restaurant, we had to sit outside at a damp table waiting out the rain. We watched the rain stop and eventually decided to take a chance at going back on the run with the understanding that as soon as it started raining again, we had to stop. None of us thought we were going to make it to Marble Falls based on the radar. It would have made no sense to call anyone to join us on a trip we had no confidence in completing.

I wasn't, and never do, monitor my phone, so I missed your texts. Frankly, I was more concerned about scrubbing a drive that I set-up for six other people 200 miles from home. I was the only person that knew the route.

Fortunately, we were able to make the whole run. We didn't attempt anything for Sunday because of the weather.

If we didn't want you to make the run with us, we would never have invited you in the first place. The fact that we hooked up later that evening should be further proof that no one was looking to ditch anyone. If I remember correctly, we exchanged at least four texts letting you know where we were. Once you got there, it was nice meeting David and Ryan.

Again, sorry we didn't get to drive together. Saturday was a pretty stressful day for all of us, and one none of us anticipated unravelling the way it did.

We hope to get back in Austin again, and will certainly invite both you and JAR. You guys are always invited to come drive with us in Houston.

Fine fine, I'm a b!itch I know, I'll apologize. It just sucks waiting for a good drive with a good group and then not be able to do it.

Got to watch Expendables 2 so the day wasn't completely wasted.


Now which Austin guys are in for Saturday?

Still waiting for you to confirm for 9/1, Pint!

Still debating it. :) I dont do well driving alone on unfamiliar roads. Need to find a copilot. :tup:

ahhh... you didnt go to Nismo Fiesta back in April?

Negative.

Truthfully, it's not a difficult cruise. The Z's handle the S and U curves perfectly even at a 'spirited' pace. I'm also asking people to bring 2-way radios so we can stay together and not get separated. You can borrow one of mine if you like.

Nice meeting you guys/gals. I look forward to checking out Z's next time - you have some sweet looking rides!
