Killeen/ Fort Hood area 8s?
 
Just what the title says, anyone on here from this area?

9krpmrx8 11-04-2008 08:32 PM

My parents live in Eddy and my mom works at the Temple VA so I am up that way often. Let me know if you guys have a meet on a weekend.

joe-jitsu 11-05-2008 08:11 AM

I hope so. I see a LOT of 8s around , but im not sure how many are on here.

Toxic Gecko 11-08-2008 07:39 AM

I'm in Cove, just down the road from you.

Terrance26 11-15-2008 08:25 PM

Oh man I live in Killeen, but don't have the 8 anymore if you guys have a meet can I come? I miss my 8.

I8U 11-15-2008 10:10 PM

I'm from Cove, lived there until I joined the AF. I haven't been back in a while...I will be heading home for a couple weeks in Jan...maybe we can get a group together and go for a drive or something?

Toxic Gecko 11-18-2008 03:43 AM

That sounds good. We should definately get something going.

joe-jitsu 11-19-2008 03:14 PM

Yea, Id like to if we can get some more people.

Plus it would be funny to see if any of you guys are the ones that come out of nowhere, darting up behind me like you want to race, or just impress me or something.:banghead:

I8U 11-24-2008 12:04 PM

Sounds like a plan...I plan on being in town around 18th. It would be cool to get a few more people out. Did they every build that Hooters they were talking about in Killeen? We could always have a gathering there! I'm sure the girls there are mostly dependants and army wives...haha!

Oh man, maybe we could hit up the Austin crew...don't they have regular meets?

Wow, if you havn't been here since before the Hooters was built, you probably won't even recognize Killeen or Harker Heights at all now. A lot has changed.

As for the Austin crew, the TexasRxs are having their monthly meet on the 7th of Jan and an overnight tour on the 24 and 25. Nothing else on their calander as of yet. their site is here

I8U 11-25-2008 02:21 PM

HAHA, haven't been back there since '05. My parents still live in Cove, they try and keep me up to date. I guess the big thing there now is the Cracker Barrel in Harker Heights. I really can't wait to get back! What part of town do you live in Gecko? I'm from S 23rd near the high school.

Toxic Gecko 11-25-2008 08:24 PM

They just opened that Cracker Barrel along with a Cheddars and a Chipotle. They even moved the Target and Old Navy from Killeen into the same shopping center in Heights. It's going crazy around here lately, especially in Heights.

I've been here since '98 and have lived in Killeen, Harker Heights and mostly Cove. My first house in Cove was on S 25th st. I live about half a mile in form the Walmart now. Did you go to school here? If so when did you graduate? I ask cuz my wife grew up here.

vigozus 11-26-2008 01:16 AM

I'm in killeen, there is way too many 8's on post. I drive a titaniun gray 04, full body kit, kansas plates. If you 8 is the black one on the pic, I seen it driving around.

I8U 11-26-2008 09:11 PM

Yeah Gecko, that's cool...I grew up in Cove and graduated in '97. I moved away in '98 for the AF and am currently stationed in NC.

Can't wait to get back, it's been too long. Hopefully we can get this meet together...

Toxic Gecko 11-27-2008 06:35 AM

I8U - you have PM

So we are looking at sometime in Jan about the 18th. What sounds good to everyone? Hooters has been mentioned. Any other ideas?

I8U 11-28-2008 09:44 AM

Jan 18 sounds good...it is a Sunday so, let's try for an early afternoon meet. I will be in town until the 29th, but I'm making a trip down to south TX around the 23rd or so...I hope more will show other than myself and Dan.

I8U will not be in town until Jan 18th, but if you guys want to get something going for December lets hear the ideas. I'm game. Or we could tag along with Austin like canaryrx8 pointed out.

I was actually referring to the club's January calendar only. Now that you point it out though, the drive in December sounds pretty sweet.

I8U 11-29-2008 06:42 AM

Yeah man, you guys don't wait up for me. I'm just glad I'll be able to hang a round a few rotorheads when come to visit since, I will be missing my clubs first meet of the year while I'm home on leave.

AAChaoshand 12-06-2008 09:40 PM

I'm up for a meet, I live in harker heights, anything after 5pm is fine since i dont get off work till then. Email me and intrepidarmada@icqmail.com if anyone wants to start something weekly or something.

AAChaoshand 12-09-2008 07:16 AM

I'm up for a meet anytime before january as well. I have no life, drink beer, play video games, shoot my rifles, go to bed, repeat.

I8U 12-09-2008 03:32 PM

HAHA, sounds like the life of an Army grunt. As for me I'll still be in town around the 18th of Jan...
