Houston Area Boxsters!!!!
 
I am looking for Houston Area Boxsters!! The weather is perfect for evening drives around the Houston area. If you own a Boxster in Houston speak now or forever hold your....

I live in Houston. I can't drive anywhere this weekend, but I may be able to do a little early Saturday morning driving next weekend, the 24th.

Age008 11-15-2012 05:45 PM

Thats great! Hopefully we can get a few more!

Saterday drive
 
I'm in Houston what do you have in mind?
I'm in the Meyerland area.

RandallNeighbour 11-18-2012 07:13 PM

We could meet up and drive out to Brenham...

Spinnaker 11-18-2012 07:42 PM

You guys are only 170 miles from the first F1 race in the U.S. in 5 years and you didn't go!!!? Disgraceful......

Age008 11-19-2012 07:42 PM

Brenham sounds good!! I see that we would have four of us... I wish we could atleast three more!!!

I am out next week on holiday but would be up for a run or two in the Houston area.

I am NE of Houston in Kingwood.

:cheers:

RandallNeighbour 11-20-2012 04:08 AM

Unfortunately, my car is not in shape for a run this Sat. I've been working on it every night, but have a lot more to do before I head to the track in two weeks.

What time are you guys thinking of? I might be able to join you if it's midday. I'm in the NW area.

RandallNeighbour 11-20-2012 07:49 AM

While I won't be able to join you guys this time, let me say that I've driven the box around that area in the mornings and afternoons. Afternoons is not a good idea for the following reasons:

In the early mornings before 10 am, you will have cyclists and bikers to contend with and a tractor or two. No big deal.

After 10 am, you have all of the above plus soccer moms, more farmers in pickups, and LEOs o'plenty.

[Side Note: always let the lead car have the best radar detector in the pack. Last time I went out I was with a Turbo and two BoxS's and a 911. Of course, the bigger the motor the further out front they were from me, the lowly 2.5 in the bunch.

I had the V1 and the alarm went off as the Turbo and the 911 were both popped for 112 and 95 (respectively) in a 50 mph zone. The county cop said he would have busted all of us but didn't have time to shoot his radar at all five cars.

He said he was being "extremely generous" to us by writing the tickets for 74 mph so as not to arrest the two drivers for reckless driving.]

Additionally, it's not that close to Brenham, but if you drive FM 105 (Industry, TX) down from 290 and then take whatever that road is to San Felipe, Texas (located a mile north of I-10 near Sealy... google map it and you'll see the FM road... 2920????) there is a lovely bit of road with nice sweepers, which is about as twisty as we get around here.

Or, you guys can stay in town and just drive what I call "the loop":

Beginning at Shepherd, turn onto Memorial and take it downtown and drive south to Allen Parkway and come back to Shepherd. Do it early enough and you'll have the roads mostly to yourself with very few cops.

Time and money friend. Time and money. I have too little of both.

Age008 11-22-2012 08:43 PM

I do not have a radar detector. If we can get five cars, we can rally at Memorial park and take a short drive to Kemah and return??? Im free for Saturday.

What I can tell you as being ex law enforcement, speed alone does not constitute reckless driving. There must be other factors involved. For example driving on the shoulder at a high rate of speed would be a willing candidate for reckless driving.

Shoot me a text with your name for faster communication.

Hello.. Would next week be best? That would be the 1st.

l3m 11-30-2012 04:44 AM

You guys making a run tomorrow? What time?

boxster6354 11-30-2012 05:05 AM

I am back in the country and up for it and weather looks to be great for tomorrow.

Randall you need to get your lazy butt up and out!

:cheers:

I think tomorrow around lunch time is great. Are we strolling to Galveston or what?

Age008 11-30-2012 05:20 PM

Randall, are you back in business?????

l3m 11-30-2012 06:42 PM

Let's meet at Porsche West Houston on I-10 at noon tomorrow.

Boxster6354, Randall, Spinnaker - see you there?
