Monthly ride in DFW
 

What do you guys think about maybe sometime like once a month a bunch of us get together and just take a ride around the DFW area. ive seen corvettes do this and my buddy is an administrator on my350z.com and they do the same thing. just wanted to see if there was any interest.

Of course, we had a blast the last time we did it, I think it was September. I'm sure this'll get a ton of replies, let's just get something set up and I'm down. :)

ya i think it could be tons of fun. cuz i dunno about u but i love driving my 8 just to drive it haha

Sounds like a plan to me big turn out last time, hell thats what i do every weekend is cruise. Hit me up

alright well since you two think it will be a good idea, anyone who is interested state a date that you think will be best to do it.

I don't have a specific date in mind but I would be willing to come down for a good drive.

Does anyone have a particular route in mind?

There are very few good "driving" roads in the DFW area unless you go pretty far north. Cruising around on a highway or local road is just an excuse for cops to follow you and write dumb tickets for no front plate etc. The NTS2K0C does some BBQ runs a few times a year and just did a fall colors drive as well.

i'm game lets find some good roads :)

Last few rides i have been on this has never happened unless your being dumb and breaking the law we had a nice couse that we ran last time it was toward ft. worth a lot of back roads with good turns and it road for about a hour a believe well have to get the group together from last time and run that route again it was hella fun.

shoot man, if you guys need to do some driving come on down to austin and we'll shred the hill country with ya' :D:

Yeah we will have to make it down there one time, im down for that

I would be game
 

if we can find a few other rotary lovers...

There's a stretch just north of Fredericksburg that I absolutely love to drive my 8 on... map. Unfortunately, that's a ways away from the metroplex.

ya thats true. i got some pretty good ones that r pretty close to where i live. just inbetween mckinney and sherman theres some good open country roads.

We'll be hitting up that area this weekend, really looking forward to it. :)

RotoMoto's in for some miles!
 

Hey, let me know if this comes together. I live in Mckinney north of DFW. There are several nice roads in this area that are curvy and fun. I would love to just hang out and drive with other rotorheads no matter what kinda road we find!

hey roto where in mckinney you live. i live in mckinney also. u ever driven on those nice roads heading towards princeton?

I'd be up for a ride :)

just finishing up a zaino treatment over the past 2 days...

if you find the roads, they will come...

Lets do it

Why don't you two McKinney owners put together something that covers about 60 miles or so and we'll all work on the dates? I've heard nothing but excellent things from other 8 owners about the roads in that area, I just don't know my way around there well enough to put a route together. Is it possible we could do it this weekend or will everyone still be out of town for the holidays? Sunday maybe?

I think I'm avail sunday.

id love to do it sunday but i get back from denver around 7pm

Ha, okay, okay, Sunday, December 2? Any road ideas/maps yet? Do I need to go on an adventure and find a few myself? :)

Hehehe...lol. I would be down either sunday.

haha yea you might have to get on a little adventure. im out of town till sunday so i cant really look around. theres a little route that you can take from the mckinney area up to sherman that is back roads. or there is also a back road i believe thast you can take from mckinney to wylie and some place passed there

Red is not going to show LOL we have to have permission slip for his parents to sign, ill have a full tank of gas so im down someone call me and let me know whats up, i probably wont get on this thing till monday !

You know I'll call you to tell you what's up Brian, it doesn't sound like we'll be doing anything this week, though. Oh, and poor Red... ;)

I have. McKinney-Princeton-Lucas has some decent roads to tour that few seem to know about. Maybe this weekend I'll plot a few roads out if anyone is interested.

im up for another drive. sunday should be fine. either one

I say we all take a 250 mile drive and see who can last the longest without filling up. At 74 miles I'm hitting the half full mark :/ Lucky to get 180 miles from 14.9 gallons. Why's somethin always gotta be up with MY 8??? My truck is getting better gas mileage...

There's something wrong with your 8. No matter how I drove I could still get 220 miles per tank (14 gallons). My Miata goes 260 miles on 9.5 gallons :lol:

Though your fell off the face of the planet

is that the latest issue or is it an old issue? ( car and driver)

Ha, it's my own personal issue! Uncivilized racer made it for me with pics from the Oklahoma City Fall BBQ...he did a good job, huh? Way to go Brian, everyone is convinced it's real! :) I love it!

Okay, so...did you McKinney guys go for a drive? Should we set something up for this Sunday around noon? Is everyone free?

Lol i got them skilz glad i could increase your popularity with the pic

Ha, you're tellin me. There's a guy here in ft worth that has had a rotary shop for 15+ years or so and drags his own custom made rotary engines - basically takes two of them and connects them in a straight line(so I've heard but not witnessed).

I'd like to take it over to him and let him keep it for awhile and see if there is anything he could do for not TOO much$$$. Otherwise I think I'll sell it the minute I'm not upside down in it. Thought about looking into putting an LT-1 in it but I think that'll kick me out of the rotary club;)

***And yes I did fall off the face of the earth for while. Finally got my little auto body parts company off the ground and have been having a blast trying to make this work on my own. I'll try to make it to the next meeting at BJs but as usual, couldn't show up until about 15 minutes till everyone leaves.

hey guys sorry i was out of town. i wasnt able to go for a drive yet to sort it out and im not available sunday. but that doesnt mean you guys cant go.

I am game if something gets planned....

I would definitely show up for a nice relaxing drive. Ive been waiting to go to my first 8 meet.

So what's the word? We driving or not this weekend?

I left Sunday open for it, but I have no idea where to even begin on finding a route...McKinney area is all I know.
