There seems to be quite few folks with 982 4.0Ls in the Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas areas. I’d like to gauge interest in getting some of these cars together given all of these areas are within a couple hours of each other. This would also give everyone a chance to see what others have done to their cars (thinking all the exhaust options).

As a first go at trying to get a few cars together, anyone interested in driving Lime Creek (Austin area) the 16th of January?

Assuming we get the car by then and that folks will be comfortable with masks and social distancing, we could very well be in. We'll need to put some break-in miles on the car anyway.

Lime Creek on Jan 16th works for me. I only have 300 miles so need to work on break-in too.

I’m at 350 miles and trying to rack the miles up to get through a break in as well. With any luck there will be several hundred more by the 16th.

No issues with normal COVID protocol stuff on my end.

Three is a good start, hopefully we can get a few more!

I'd be down if it was a Sunday, but don't arrange on my account.

What a coincidence. A buddy of mine and I were planning on a run on 1/16/21.

It would be good fun!

Rooster, SA here. There's that as well as the routes out towards Lost Maples. I usually lead a run out 470 to Utopia (breakfast or lunch) then up through Vanderpool to Leakey. Been doing that one for years. Another idea is if you get more perhaps you guys can make your Lime Creek run and we sync up in Wimberley for lunch.

My car is down due to a friggin nail or screw in driver's side rear. Still waiting on a new tire to come in...$440+ for a tire w/only 800miles on it

Is this a driving event? Lots of good trails to the west on the edwards plateau.

rooster17

Yes, this was intended to be a driving event.

Going to keep the 16th proposed to avoid making coordination on a public forum a $h!+ show. I will define a time and publish a list of attendees as we draw closer to take into account weather considerations.

The thread is meant to give all of us a place to coordinate runs, meets, or whatever else we like.

I figured once a month (if we can get a group defined) we could meet somewhere within the general area I mentioned. The local guys lay out what the plan is and we go from there. Nothing formal, just some people with a shared interest doing what they like to do.

I think that pretty much answers the above post.

are you inviting retreads? 981GT4s?

rooster17

For sure, but wasn’t planning on posting in the 981 forum.

NiteCrawlr

Please include me on the list. I live in Houston and definitely want to meet up and drive.

I'm interested in future meet up/drives. I'm in Houston. Only have 100 miles on so far. Not sure I'll be able to make 16th.

This is a great idea Rooster! I suppose we could also post in the Central Region forum, but if we're sticking to Spyders, GT4s, GTS' then this works. There's also a TX FB page called Texas GT Club for those on FB. There's several varieties however of Porsche GT models. I am one of the Admins of the page if any have questions.

- Rooster if it works into your plan I'd love to meet up with ya'll!

- For those in Houston or elsewhere and are interested in organizing an actual planned drive out to one or more of the sisters Iet me know! I know dmk2 has also been out there as I'm sure several others have. My typical route is as mentioned in my above post.

I love me a foursome!
