What about a nice mid December run for BBQ? Any ideas?
Sounds brilliant!
Alright, back from vacation.
What location? How about that BBQ place we used to frequent a ton? I'll be glad to organize it as long as we can recruit an actual lead for the ride.
What weekend is good for most?
Not sure what you mean by run, but I'm in for any weekend events.
Wife will be in Japan all month, so I'll be a bachelor. ::Banana::
Run as in an organized attempt to herd Miatas and their owners from spot a to spot b via a nice set of back country roads that tend to be twisty but not high speed... a nice "brisk" pace, if you will.
(However, I must insist that all drivers obey the laws of the land. Management is not responsible if your silly ass gets a ticket or should you hurt yourself or others.)
So I'll start eyeballing the weather updates for this upcoming weekend of Dec. 12.
FYI – December 12/13 is the Eagles Canyon Toy Run weekend. Any chance of doing it a different weekend?
I'm gone 5th to 12th then at Eagles Canyon the 13th. The following weekend I'd be glad to lead a run thru Cresson thru Granbury thru Glen Rose to the Coyote Loco for some good bbq. It's a nice run I've done twice with LSMC. If I had been thinking ahead this would've been cool to do from Cars and Coffee Saturday. Maybe a run around Roberts to Tioga for bbq.
How about the 19th? Some folks may be gone/getting ready to get head out for the xmas break...
I'm busy on the 19th but could probably do the 20th or 21st.
19th or 20th works for me, but I'd prefer a Saturday over a Sunday (esp if we're going to leave from Cars & Coffee). How's the BBQ at Coyote Loco?
Coopers BBQ in LLANO
That's the one where you get your meat on a tray outside before you go in, right? Man, I had me one big-ass poke chop there a while back...Quote:

Cars & Coffee is the last Saturday of every month, so it won't work for either the 12th or the 19th. :wink:Quote:

Your choice. :D
I'll take a run for bbq and catch the car show at a later date.
I'll take that.Quote:

If we left for a run from there, we could get to most any of the three bbq joints by 12-1p for lunch. And for those that don't want to get up so early, just meet up at a location near the car show at 10:30.
Personally I don’t care about C&C one way or another, but a couple of other people mentioned it in this thread. I just thought I’d point out that C&C isn’t an option on the two dates I’ve seen discussed so far.Quote:

So, C&C is on the 26th right? And possibly a run for BBQ after?Quote:

Seems like we've got some definite schedule conflicts for this coming weekend (12-13th), and I suspect we'll have others out the weekend after Christmas (26-27th) - I know I'll be out of town.
Sooooo how about we shoot for a run down to Cooper's in Llano on Saturday 12/19? If we leave by 7:30-8AM we should easily be down there in time for lunch. IMO, the BBQ's worth it...
Plus, we can always stop at the Koffee Kup in Hico for a piece o' pie on the way back.
Any takers?
Depends....if I have my car back from Gary by then. ;)
How's that coming along anyways.....any good news or progress?Quote:

Contacted Gary and he hasn't heard back from the shop as of today. He ordered the exhaust (header, midpipe, and muffler) even though I hadn't fully decided if I wanted them yet. :scratch: Guess I can afford them since I no longer have a car payment....::Banana::Quote:
