October Texas Hill Country Drive

[SondraS2k]

Reposted from the local Austin sports car group and the S2000 group in Austin and North Texas:

The North Texas S2000 Owner's Club, Austin - San
Antonio S2000 / Lotus Elise drive groups and other
local sports car owners are putting together a weekend
drive to the Leakey Springs area. The North Texas
group does an excellent job of organizing a fun drive
to the ArkLaTex every Fall. This year the NT gang
wants to visit the Hill Country and join other sports
car owners for an overnight stay at The Koyote Ranch.

Plans include a 9 AM gathering at Rudy's (Research
near Braker) with a rendevous lunch in Fredericksburg.
The SA groups will join us for the trip through
Kerrville, Medina and then on to the Koyote Ranch and
100 mile loop.
Dinner and the Biergarten Saturday night. Lost Maples
Sunday morning and then the groups venture home.

Post here, PM me, or ask me and I can put you in touch with the local organizer via email (not going to offer up his email addy to the bot gods...)

Somehow I managed to inadvertantly close this thread. Dunno how, but anyway, it's back open now. Thanks for letting me know, Stefan.

I won't be staying overnight, but would love to join the drive for the day on Saturday. Just contacted organizer.

Great to hear Java - I look forward to meeting you.

I emailed the organizer, but have not heard anything back. I guess I should just show up at Rudy's at 9 on Saturday?

[SondraS2k]

I will see the organizer in an hour or so, so I will ask him what's up. I'll let you know if anything other than just showing up is necessary unless they have lunch planned; if you're just going for the drive portion, I think you'll be in fine shape to just show up with an FRS radio.

When you see the organizer tell him I'd like my steak medium rare please.

Josh - are you going solo or are you bringing someone? I'm going back and forth on driving my S or catching a ride with someone.

I'm bring the girlfriend along this time. You still thinking about catching a ride with David?

I was until he bought the Elise - I'm not sure I'm up to 200 miles just to get to Austin in that thing. Plus, there probably wouldn't be enough luggage space for my camera gear and bag. I'll probably just end up enjoying the driving and let someone else take the photos for a change. Are you going down Friday night?

Nope because of work (get off at 9pm) I think I'm just going to get a good 8 hours of sleep and head up early Saturday morning.

You should bring the S, let someone else worry about the pictures just have fun tearing up the roads!

You going up Friday night or Saturday morning? From the response I saw there's about 4 of us driving up Saturday morning.

I'll probably go down there Friday night - a very kind S2KCA member has offerred up a guest room.

I just found out today that I may have an opportunity to go to the Texas ou game on Saturday so I will probably miss the drive. If it doesn't come through I'll still be able to come down Saturday morning but this looks pretty good. I won't know for sure until Friday night.

Thanks for offering up your guest room Sondra.

You guys have fun!

Dude - it's TX/ou. That ain't just another football game. Plus, I got my fix (in the passenger seat) last weekend.

I am assuming the Motorola Talkabout will work fine.

[SondraS2k]

Yes, the Motorola Talkabout is perfect.

I may be going after all if a friend's offer of a car to drive is still good. *fingers crossed!*

[Java]

Is your car not working?

[SondraS2k]

I sold it a few weeks ago to finance some investments. I will be replacing it with something lesser in the next few weeks, but I haven't found the right thing yet. I'll be getting another when I finish law school
