    Any F-chatters interested in killing some time around 1pm this Saturday? Will be in town for the weekend with a buddy and our wives, each picking up a car, and looking for some recommendations for something to do while the wives have their girl day out at the Galleria. Ideas?

    Booked up on Saturday.

    But for recommendations you could always go by FoH and LoH. There's a go cart track near FoH I believe. Can't remember the name of it though.

    One of the cars we're picking up is from LoH...and the other car is from Star Motors over on Katy Road. Go Cart Track??? I'd probably rather drive around the loop in our own cars :)

    Any recommendations for a nice place to grab lunch / hang out for a little bit between LoH and the St. Regis?

    Thanks.

    haha, If you're picking up cars from there then I would think not. What are you getting?

    If you're into spending a little bit for lunch, a good place would be Fogo de Chao on Westeimer. www.fogodechao.com

    Great way to celebrate your new purchases.

    My buddy is picking up his '08 Gallardo that's in for service and I'm picking up a new AM DB9. Thanks for the suggestion...I'll look into it.

    Not sure how late FoH is open on Saturday, maybe until 2 pm at the latest but not sure. Also, the go kart track behind the dealership has been out of business for quite some time.

    Go grab a cold beer at the West Alabama Ice House, well worth the visit.

    The Goode Company restaurants around the corner on Kirby are all good, BBQ, TexMex, or the seafood place around the corner on Westpark.

    I'm going to be up in Lake Livingston most likely or I'd join you to check out the new rides!

    Willie Gs up north from the Galleria on Post Oak is also quite good in the seafood department, a little nicer decor....
    The IRL race will be on maybe they'd put it on the bar's flat screen!!!

    Have fun,
    Alan
