Are you in Harris County, TX. or nearby?

If yes, post a response on this thread with your general location.

For example,

PLT is in Pasadena (TX) (way east-southeast Houston) and works in Sugar Land (way southwest).

I am near Cypress, way northwest of Houston.

bcg is in the Sugar Land area.

Snootfull is in the College Station area,

Dick R. is near College Station.

Clamster is somewhere around here.


Reason? For at least one time, it would be an enjoyable gathering to see who we are. Show off your beautiful brick, if you like. (I don't, it's ugly).

So far the middle of downtown Houston lookls like a central location, geographically. Maybe a better one insofar as drive time and routes? On the beltway? Remember to think about parking. Is there still a "Steak & Ale" on US 290 just out from Loop 610? They had a private room.

Bring a camera, a pic of a "bricked over" parking lot might be a hoot.

Lets have some fun.

Bring a business card, or some such, from your best indie shop and J-yards. Organize a junk-yard jaunt, better results (more fun) with two or three of us looking. Maybe a pic or two of the Volvo(s) that you own but left at home.

Regards,

Bob

Steak & Ale have been around Houston for many years.

I am not sure that they are still here, have you seen one?

Used to be one on US 290 at Dacoma, Washington at Memorial (it's gone) and one on I45 just south from FM 525.

Had to let go of their enjoyable menu when we went on the South Beach Diet, and I came up with diabetes.

Good Idea, tho. I'll indulge a medium rare filet.

Bob

Added Kyote, and IAHVolvo today.

Haven't put this post into OPINIONS because I believe that the folks hanging out there are generally from places other than the Texas upper Gulf coast.

There's room for more, so come on in.

Bob

Met with Kyote, local briskster who hangs out at TurboBricks.....

He's interested, especially including folks from Austin.

Any ideas there?

Then why haven't you said domething? Is the idea of a bricked-over parking lot just too too juvenile for you?

I am sure that there are a goodly number of RWD owners around Houston.

Even if meeting with other bricksters is a non-op idea for you, at least we could cobble together and page of who's who in Houston.

Check in on this thread, please print.

If enough Harris County bricksters sign in, we should notify SAT and Austin owners of the plan, right?

Keep reading, need some more.
