[Houston] Wanted Co-Pilot / Mini-Scenic Drive 7/2/04
 

This coming Friday I am going to be off work and taking the early half of the day to explore some great twisties the Miata guys told me about just North of Houston.

I will be mapping the route that the club will be taking in a couple of weeks this day as well. I am inviting anyone who is willing to either tag-along in their own car or ride with me in the vert'. (obviously I only need one rider)

The weather reports are looking pretty good and this should be a great day to skip work and go for a drive. I will be getting a early start and will probably be in the Northside area by 8AM or earlier.

The co-pilot will need to take some notes, but I will buy your breakfast at our first stop. :D

If your interested email me directly at htxrx7@houston.rr.com or PM me here on the forum.

See you then!

Where in houston are you Meeting, driving, & how far will you be going. I will follow you; also have nav. If the weather will cooperate I will be able to give my car a good wash (it needs it).

I think I am going to be out near 290 and Hwy 6 about 8 AM (or earlier, but I am flexible)

oh... I live in Bellaire/Meyerland area

290 and hwy 6. Where are there any good roads out there? I know of a couple up near Waller out there but all of the good ones that I know of are up near Lake Conroe off of I-45. There are some damn fun twisty, hilly roads out there.

im gonna actually head up towards Navasota... i can't give out all my details.. or else noone will come along for the drive.. :)

Well how many miles do you plan to drive? And I agree there are great roads near i-45 and new waverly out west.

yeah..

i love the FM 147 thru 150 roads myself in and out of the forest. The nthe backroads to Anderson are nice too...(heading towards Navasota)

I will probably drive about 100-140 miles or so (or until about noon whichever comes first) I intend to checkout a couple of the lcoal eateries and ensure they can handle 15-30 rotorheads :) and make sure there are gas-up places out along the way in case we need them.

if you could wait until sat I'd definity go, i'm close to getting my rotor, and would love some closer in places to drive other than austin. If you wanna hit it early sat I'm in. you can email me at tolkien71@yahoo(nospam).com

oh, i'm also right near you behind the galleria

no go there.. sorry..my saturday is filled with crawfish, barbques and pool parties.. hehehe however... the club will be going for a saturday (or maybe sunday drive in a couple of weeks... this run is mainly for scouting purposes... I just hate to do it all by myself... :)

If your interested in riding along tomorrow feel free to PM me your tel number and Ill call you about 7:15-7:30..... I am still waiting to hear back from houstonrx8er too :)

oh, I just meant it would be fun scouting, but yeah, I can't get off work tomorrow...hopefully you'll find a co-pilot and I look forward to tryin out the route you guys find

its gonna be a good route.. especially since i got most of the route from experienced Miata guys... :)

I wish you wouldn't be so discreet, I am interested but I have a day to plan and I need to know where I am gonna be so I can charge my milage to work:);)

[houstonrx8er] I PM'd you my phone numbers.. call me for details.. I am leaving the house now.

have a great day everyone...

woo hoo that was fun.. flat tire and all.. thanks again Austin!
