So i'll be in Houston over the x-mas and was wondering if anyone other than Zak was wanting to get together and have a meet. My grandparents live in Sharpstown but if there's an area near 290 and the west Tollway that you guys would want to meet that'd be awesome as well since my cousin lives over there and it'd be nice to get him to go to a car meet (he's 15). Any who here's the thread... discuss

hotshoepunk will be in for Fresno CA over Christmas and I am sure we could get together. He is driving his CRX out and will be available to do whatever I tell him to do. Zak lives about 45-60 minute drive from the 290 beltway 8 intersection, but he may not mind. It would be a piece of cake for us. Right before or after Christmas would be best. I may be going to kill Bambi the weekend after. Not sure yet. Not sure who else is out there but I think somebody might show up.

I'm over near the Galleria - I'd like to go. I'll be flying out on the 24th though for North Carolina. If anybody's up for something next weekend that would be ideal for me.

Thanks zakats for sending me the link to this thread!


"GReddy e-manage" is excellent in the generality and the expansion. And it is a low price further.Therefore, you can direct an engine too economy, easily. Then, you are relieved, and you can choose it. Future tuning begins first from "e".

I could do something 22 or 23, but I don't know how down everybody will be with a weekday meet

that may work for me, not entirely sure when I'll be in Houston, but we should be there by the afternoon of the 23rd at the latest

Let's call it 23rd evening then, we seem to have a bit of a consensus on that. We'll need to meet somewhere with decent lights in the parking lot!

I'm thinking hooters/taco cabana/cheap restaurant that allows us to meet in/out doors. If there is enough interest I can contact them to make it happen- if that goes over well I will need an approximate count on who will be attending (including family/friends/girlfriends/personal slaves/etc.)

I'm assuming we want to keep this somewhat exclusive to rpr members and what I wrote in parenthesis above rather than opening it to the public on houston-imports, otherwise we could make it a big meet. JUST a thought.

Keepin' it small sounds good to me. We'll only have a few hours and I am mostly interested in talking to other 1g/3g guys from the forum. Larger crowds gives whoever's a closet jackass an audience and everybody just talks to whoever they already know. I think members and personal friends would be a good group. I'm down with some cheap restaurant. Actually I've been hankerin' for wings here lately, that sounds good.
