Randall,
Would like to get together too, unless this is strictly a guy thing ...no girls allowed.
JK...anyway last time ya'll we're going to get together, I had to pass because of the Grand Prix. Hope this one works out.

Anyone with a Boxster is welcome, boy or girl!
Travis, the twisty road just north of the little town of San Felipe off I-10 is flat out amazing. It's just one exit on the Houston side of Sealy. I will drive it any time you want to go, as long as you can get there at daybreak. It's too busy with tractors and cyclists after 10 am on weekends.

Randall,
Sounds like a plan!
I will be in Cancun next week but would be up for it any weekend after.
So is this the road?

Travis, that's the road. 1458 is the twisty road and if you look right there at the river, you'll see 3318 and that's a short little road I use to get the boxster up to 130 or so as it's a dead end and no one drives it at dawn.
The key is to get out to this road at 6 am or so just as the sun is coming up. That makes it not so much fun of a day, but we go into Sealy and eat breakfast around 9:30 after burning 3/4 tank of gas and that's fun, so it's all worth it I guess.
Let's plan one for third or fourth Sunday in July. We'll be done in time for a late church service, which you'll need for confession, I assure you.

I have no problem with girls either. The only thing cooler than a girl is a girl in a porsche.
Hey guys, we cant speed. I've gotten 2 tickets this month. I've lawyered up, so they will probably be dismissed. Still, I can't get any more.

Ok boys and girls, we need to get you over here for the Dragon's Tail. Got to drive it a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is WOW!! Of course all I heard from the guy riding with me was "holy crap!", etc. LOL
Here she is.

It's two HARD days of driving to get to the dragon from Houston, my friend. What we're talking about is a much shorter version of it that's just 30 minutes from our homes and for some forum members who have to drive the speed limit because they've been caught being naughty, 45 minutes away.
I am planning a road trip there in April however, with a buddy who has a MR2 Spyder with a Supra engine in it. I think we should put together a forum meet there in April and get as many members to come as possible. What fun!

RandallNeighbour,
Can you hear the Valentine with the top down or do you rely on the visuals ? Thought about trading in my Escort Solo S2 ( can't hear it ).
Also, I would totally be in for a forum meet at the tail in April. Only 650 miles from Chicago !
Nick

The V1 is nice and loud with the top down. Now with the top down and the CD player blaring, I rely on the arrows, numbers, etc. but that would be the case with any detector I think.
On our trip to northern California last year, I was driving top down with the wife asleep next to me and the detector went off and just about made her jump out of the seat as it caught her by surprise.
