I can't. I have three tests monday: Orgo, CalcII, and SpanishII.

Blake · 03-23-2010, 12:50 PM

I'm only going if I get the gt-r. No point in driving a chevy cobalt rental car that barely does 80 with a tailwind.

It's the Lone Star Chapter BMW CCA forum. "What's Going On" is the section to watch, or you can look at the event calendar on the main site.

For those that aren't BMWCCA members, you should really think about it. It's $48. per year. You get a great monthly magazine, access to local events: DE's, auto-X's, Tours, social, tech advice, and a $500 to $1,500 cash rebate on your next BMW after you've been a member for 12 months. There is more detail here: http://bmwcca.org/index.php?pageid=new_member. I've been a member for 13 years and gotten 2 $500 checks. I can't see a downside to it.

No traffic to speak of. It's a bit of a haul down there, but you are on the curvy roads almost right away once you leave Cleburne.

ghosthi32 · 03-24-2010, 02:41 AM

hmm ill think about going...if not hopefully i can ride shotgun in someones car.

ghosthi32 · 03-24-2010, 05:54 PM

Who is for sure going?

Buschy · 03-24-2010, 07:48 PM

I am for sure

calintexas · 03-24-2010, 08:11 PM

My wife and I are going.

ghosthi32 · 03-24-2010, 08:24 PM

how long do these drives usually last?

The last drive we did north and east of McKinney was about 150 miles. With rest stops and a lunch break it was maybe 3.5 hours.

The drive this Saturday is a pretty ambitious one. It's 242 mi (Cleburne to Strawn via Tin Top) with 2 meal stops. It's going to take a while. It's possible you could be home by 3:00 PM. Mark's being optimistic calling this a 1/2 day tour. I just got the route map today. Anyone that wants it, PM me your email address.

Note: You don't have to do the whole thing. It's perfectly acceptable to cut out whenever you want.

Blake · 03-24-2010, 09:26 PM

i don't think i'll be able to make it. looks like i'll have the gt-r, but i don't think i'll have the time.

Shucks.

So it looks like Cal, buschy, and I are going to take part in this drive for sure.

Anyone else?

M3 Adjuster · 03-25-2010, 01:19 AM
