Texas area guys! Wurstfest!
A buddy of mine (on the old 911 side of my p-car hobby) is going to put together an informal drive southwest of Austin, ending up in New Braunfels on Saturday November 10th.
Jamie is known for finding the AWESOME roads around Austin, and NOT driving slowly on them!
So if any of y'all want to come on down for a great fun drive, and Wurstfest, I'll post details as we get closer to the event. I guarantee the drive will be a blast! I missed it last year, and I regret it, but I had an excuse - my 911 was (and still is) not really in prime driving condition. Now that I have the Boxster, I have no excuses!

I can't make it on Nov 10th but I am curious about the route to New Braunfels. I find RR1431 really awesome besides RR 2222. Anyway, please keep us posted.

That's kind of far away for me, but with enough notice in advance. I may be able to go to this one. I'm in the Dallas/Addison area. Keep us posted.

If it's anything like what we had this last weekend, you don't want to let a three hour drive to Austin stand in the way.

We'll be on much better roads than 1431 or 2222!
I'll update as soon as we set up a meeting place. It will be that Saturday morning, probably around 8am somewhere in South Austin.
I'll also be installing a new top on my Boxster sometime in the next month or so, if anyone wants to see how it's done. (I also had an idea last night... if someone has a video camera and is good at editing, we could make a how-to video!)

Something like that. A lot of areas of Texas were settled by German immigrants, so there are a lot of German traditional celebrations. Wurstfest is one of them... in 'New Braunfels'... a German named town. Go figure! 
I won't be able to make it, since I'm going to Virginia... I'm still waiting on the details from my buddy here who is getting it together. The drive is not an OFFICIAL event.
I'll post here as soon as I know what the plan is, so you guys will know!

Fray, it's the week of the event and I really need to know when and where and who and all that stuff.
I am the kind of guy who likes to have things planned out a couple days in advance at least. Since I'm coming from Houston, I won't be able to get email late Friday night or check this web site... call your buddy and tell him to get on the stick and post something here sooner than later.

Randall, I just sent Jamie an email asking if he's close to having a plan. I definitely want to get it to you guys here... because you'll have a BLAST!
I think they are planning on stopping out at a guy's shop in Wimberley as part of the drive. Last time we went out there (early last year) he had an original ~73 RS stripped down to the tub that he was restoring. I'm not sure what he has now, but he has a few Porsche projects going on usually.
