Default It's official, Moving to Denton TX

I will be moving to Denton TX, North of Dallas
I will be dragging one of the cars behind, (whatever one I don't sell )

I will be glad to get out of a highrise environment, where I can actually wrench on the car for a change.

Looking forward to meeting all the local folks .

Don

Cars and coffee is pretty popular at Classic BMW in Plano.
You may find more doings as well over at Ferrarichat, Texas section.

Cars and Coffee at Classic BMW is the first Saturday of every month and attracts almost a thousand (!) cars if the weather is good.

RUF Cars and Bikes is the last Saturday of every month and is a pretty sweet GTG also, especially if you want to get to know Hans and the service guys there.

There was a big gathering every Monday night in Plano but I'm not sure if that still happens - lots of ricers and muscle cars.

Denton is a good little town - college towns always have a decent energy. I graduated from UNT myself and live just south in Flower Mound now.

Good luck on the move!

Well so far, Denton is a quiet little town. Seems people drive nice in Texas, not fast and stupid like in L.A.
I always have to check my speed

The 86 951 is here, and I think I'm going to keep it

I will probably be going back to LA, and driving the 83 to Denton TX. This way I'll have both here.
The 83 still needs some work, which I can do in Denton

Anyway, Y'all keep me informed when events come up.

Drove the 83 944 to denton !!
Made it fine the whole way, until I got 2 miles from the house
Ran over a 4x4 and lost exhaust and now have a leak, will get underneath it soon to check the damage
951 did pass emissions before I left, so I'll get tags on it and drive that while working on the 83

Y'all keep an eye out for me in town

944-Spec road racing series is really taking off in Texas! Check out the next NASA event at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson March 12 & 13th! HPDE tracktime available too...convert that 83' to a track toy with simple safety mods!

Welcome to town, Don! I'm in Crowley, which is on the South edge of Fort Worth - about an hour from Denton. I moved here in 1990 and like the metromess, but traffic can get pretty hairy in North Dallas during rush hour, so I do my best to stay out of that. Unfortunately, my office is moving to Las Colinas (Irving) at the end of the month, so I'll be stuck in some of the mess a few times a week.

I'm thinking about heading over to Cars & Coffee on 11/5 to check it out... are any of you guys planning to go?

SeanR, when and where does the 928 group get together? Do you have many 944's in attendance typically?

I am about 20 min away in Haslet down 35W...working on a 1986 944 Lemons/Chump/Spec track car. Check out thedriversedge.net for track events. Local PCA is good also.
