would anyone be interested in meeting with a pack of 9 preludes?
as far as i know they meet the first sunday of every month which September's will be on the 4th. The plan is to get there around 6pm, eat, then take a ride south on I35 to downtown, then 75 north onto 635 west and back to 35 and 635... I joined them this month and they asked me to invite some go-karts, anyone interested let me know and i'll post more info.
I suppose if I'm not busy, they were cool letting us join them at Hallet earlier in the year.
All they're gonna do is ride on the big highways? What about some twisties?
I might go....But where do we get the Go-Karts?:scratch:Quote:

yah i know, they only go on the highways and no twisties but i haven't ridden with them very long so i don't know if thats the usual route they take. To be honest, there's some highways that are really nice like from garland going on 635 and exiting south on 75 gosh that feels so good, the ramp is really high up there and just goes into a nice drop, makes me feel like raising my arms just like a roller coaster, except i'm in a go kart, lol...
alright, just got of the phone with a friend who usually goes to this lude meets, the place is called Papa's BBQ and it's got a big cow on top so you can't miss it. If you're on I35 downtown dallas going north you will exit on Northwest Highway and take a right. Two blocks down, there might be some construction around the area, can't miss it. Time: 6pm
First sunday of Sept.
who's interested?
I'm always interested in eating! "Do they have Catfish?"... If not BBQ is fine!Quote:

Not if their idea of a run is 35, 635 and or 75... I do that on a daily basis going to work.Quote:

Now thats a perty lil stretch of road if I do say so myself.. Out in the country around where I live we got some like that, althought it aint as pretty countryside, but whats countryside really when your just ripping right past it anyways? :drive:

By the way, that picture you posted, is that here in the dallas area? Nice drive, now i have a better idea of what 3bean means by twisties :thumrigh:
Hello everyone, this is Mouglie (Edgars) friend from the Prelude group. Personally I have only gone to a few of the meets myself, but they're pretty cool.....I do like Preludes more than most people, though, haha. They usually talk for a while and then go cruise through Dallas. It's just for a fun time, but we definately aren't afraid of some curvy roads. I'm sure we can occomadate if you guys have some suggestions.... :smile:
Here's the North Texas Prelude Owners Group website--NTPOG .
Come on now, for big fun you could bring a friend and run in the HOV lane! :cheers: ;-)Quote:

That means I'd have to put the passenger seat back in.Quote:

Well i'm just up for it to see some miatas there, maybe get to know some of the ppl in this forum and have a good day, so the question is still in the air. Anyone planning on checking it out?
I might be.. We will just have to see how my car is doing at that point.. :cherry:

well i went there and no miatas...
we checked the compresion on several preludes... the only one i can remember had 180 on all of them except for the 3rd one that was at 170 which they all agreed it was pretty common...
wonder what my miata would have gotten... i'll probably check next time... :bounce:
