Houston C&C 3/6

Weather.com (which, in my short stint in Houston has proven to be 100% useless) shows mid 60s with sun!

Who plans on attending this weekend? We can't let the Dallas boys have all the fun.

Weather pending, I plan on being there. TLud has expressed interest as well.

I got there around 8:30 last month, and parking was hell. If there's any hope in getting the M3s together in a group, we'll have to get there earlier.

So, who's in?

If I'm in town, I'll be there. Though I will try to get there a lot earlier, since by 10am everyone is pretty much leaving. Weather.com is pointless in this climate.

LOL wish i could i was REALLY looking foward to meeting everyone!

I tried one of those casual (Yet calculated) mentions of the fact that Cars & Coffee was the same weekend as her B-Day and she responded with one of those "Oh really??? Well if you want to stay in town and attend that rather than go to my B-day party it's ok I'll understand" comments that you learn over the years means "miss it at your own risk buddy"!

But seriously I am truly grateful for my wifes level of understanding about my ///M after all how many women are fine having thier husbands "mistress" stay in thier garage?

So, is anyone going? If I wake up in time, I’ll usually walk over and checkout the cars on a Sat. morning at Uptown Park, although I’ve never seen any M3’s there.

I'll be there at least by 8. If anyone wants me to, and there's an opportunity, I'll try to block off some spots so we can get the M3s together.

I'll be there early with you -- maybe 7:45. If you're still in, give me a call to work out plans for afterward (trying to juggle a few things tomorrow).

Neo, I'll remember to bring my camera this time to get some photos -- maybe some after shots in your work garage.

TP, wake your happy ass up and come on down. I should be there until 9:30 or so. You'll also get to see Neo's RACs in anthracite.

I think I can make 9:30 am – I’ll give you a call on Sat am. Hopefully, I'll get my car back from the dealership by Sat. Looks like I have an overheated amp issue which causes a lovely white noise to be emitted in true surround sound even with the car locked!

Looking forward to checking out more RAC's!

I'm still in. Lucky for me, my Saturday consists of C&C, and some sort of unplanned outdoor food/alcohol consumption. I'm sure we can work something out. I'll try to get a hold of you after I finish some things up at work.

Hmmm...I'm suppose to go to Cypress Outlets on Sunday, but I should be able to go to the meet in the morning. However, whether I can get up that early remains questionable...

Tlud: If I do show up, I want to check out your lens and see how it does on my camera if you don't mind.

That's fine with me.

I'm out this time...maybe next month if weather is good.

Next time I go, I'm definitely getting there early.

If you make it, it'll be great to finally put a face with the name and see what you've done to M3.v2.
