[Austin] Informal Saturday meet 6:30pm to ?

Anyone want to hook up this weekend and hang out and geek out on /show off cars? I'm trying to get some folks together for another showing out at the Home Depot on Parmer Lane/1431 at 6-6:30pm until whenever. I've also got a good friend of mine with a C5 vette with vertical doors who wants to check out the show and maybe go on one of our car club runs at some point so I thought maybe we could all get together again and hang out etc. If anyone would like to hook up just let me know, if you need directions, details, etc. The only negative part of this deal is being out in the heat, but since it's in the evening it's not that big of a problem and it's a lot of fun checking out all the other cars. Last time we went a Yellow R1 FD parked next to me, I never could find the owner but it still made an awesome sight seeing 2 yellows parked next to each other etc. contact me for details and I hope to see some local Austin/whatever Rx owners out there!

p.s. Non Rxs are welcome too!

I'll make it out one of these weekends!

OH CRAP! I forgot to get an insp on the FD. And I'm out of money until the first.
Backmarket time...

I'll probably come out this weekend in the NB. I my girl is working this SAT.

I'll probably end up taking Mopac to Parmer, and then Parmer to Whitestone Blvd/1431. It's a pretty good distance from where I live, but there's a lot of stuff out there and a pretty nice laid back atmosphere. My goal is to be out there by no later than 6pm so we can try and snag a few spots out there an get everyone to park together etc. If I get enough people interested I may just go ahead and designate a spot where we can all meet and go from there.

I live at Parmer and Dessau, so all I have to do is drive up Parmer.

dang dude, you're right down the street lol I'm thinking 5-ish, that way if we want to set up somwehre up North to meet more people that gives us plenty of time to meet up with them. I could probably meet you somewhere on slaughter and we can go from there, like the mickey D's or the whataburger etc.

I would love to be there with you guys, sounds like a good turn out. Unfortunately I´m in Puebla, Mex at the moment. I already miss my 8 and there´s no sign of any Mazda related cars in Mexico at all. Have fun.

here's my plan for Saturday:

for the folks South (and so far there is only one) I'll be at the Whataburger on Slaughter about a block away from Brodie lane at around 4:45 or so, leaving at 5 to head north (slaughter to Mopac, mopac to Parmer, left on Parmer all the way to 1431

for the folks north there is a Chevron/Exxon station at the corner of Parmer/620. If I have anyone following me from south I will lead us there, we'll stop a while wait for about 15 minutes and then bail on down Parmer to 1431 etc.

For folks who just want to meet out there, my plan is to be there by 6:00pm, parked about 3-4 rows from the Whataburger to the left of the Home Depot, I'll be easy to spot as my car is BRIGHT yellow and I'll probably be taking some time to clean it up etc. tomorrow.

This is the address:

"Cedar Park" #6585
2700 Whitestone Blvd
Cedar Park, TX 78613
(512)528-9053

Here is a map



It's pretty much a straight shot from Parmer, it is inbetween Parmer and 183.

No worries, it was a pretty good turnout considering it was opening night for football etc. Got to meet some members of the Miata club, and we had a rotary pickup! We'll have to plan it again in the future, great way to meet other car geeks, (and girls who drive corvettes..woohoo!)
