Sorry about the blowout Ricky, I was late too, I got there at 4:30, bad traffic at the I-45/US 59/Hwy 288 interchange downtown.

Is the LS430 yours? LS430s are one of my favorite cars, we have a 95 LS400 as well.

I updated the first thread with some pictures from the autocross in Kingwood. I got to take a 1972 280SE 4.5 out for a leisurely (slow) cruise on the track. That M117 engine is smooth, and it was all original, only 72,000 miles. Here's the link again

Don't worry Ricky, we'll have another GTG sometime soon, I'd still like to see that LS430.

We did not make it because my "C-32" had a seat sensor failure that caused my battery to drain. It should be ready sometime today, hopefully

Haha I know, I was just being stupid. Just tell me when we want to do this and I'll spread the word. I think late Jan may be good, but we need to start planning when and where soon.

Let's do the possible dates later, let's try to find a location we could possibly use.

We could try a Walmart parking lot? I want to have a meet a lot more central to Houston, because driving an hour sucks..

Sugar Land to SE Houston shouldn't take you an hour, I'd say 20-25 mins at the most. In fact, SE Houston is probably closer to you than a central Houston location (close to downtown) is. Everyone had a good time at Prince's, I think we ought to have it there again, make it our meeting place. Also, I think January is too soon, that's like a little more than two months between GTGs. I say March, it'll be a little warmer by then.
