    With this last week being so nice, I am surprised this thread has been so dead. I did see a Bentley and Porsche racing down 249. Not the greatsest sighting, and don't know the reason for the racing, but.....at least it was something

    I've seen a few cars lately but it frustrates me how I can't post pictures any more. Maybe I should upgrade :D

    Thats Sugar Land to the Bastrop, 151 miles and takes me 3 hours. Driving those roads will take wear and tear off of you, remove 100 pounds of load from your shoulders, and remind you just how nice living in Texas is. Takes longer? Yes. Once you drive that route will you ever care that it takes longer? Nope :)

    So I "spotted" a red 355 spider at the Hwy. 6 Body Shop this morning.

    They work on some high end cars, there was a two toned Rolls out there yesterday in the parking lot.

    A Collision Repair place south of I10, by Bumberra's Firestone...

    Bumberra's is the place that usually has some very classic and rare american muscle right? If so I saw the red 355 today aswell and they also have a silver Porsche Turbo and in the showroom a yellow Esprit.

    I may have to try out that route. My girlfriend and I have been saying an Austin trip is long overdue so when we go I will probably go that way. Whats the road(s) once you get out of Houston, I can't tell with the map. Thanks

    Well usually I have my hot looking wife sitting next to me but the next time she stays home the passenger seat is reserved for you.



    He most certaintly is :D We stay there once or twice a month, nice place.


    Ok this is the route I take. Good roads the whole way. You could bypass some of the smaller roads I take, but isn't the entire reason you'd take this route to get away from the madness of the busy ones?
    I cut out the starting directions from my house since I don't think Mrs. Dave would find it funny if you all started from my driveway. These directions start from 59 at the Route 36 exit in Rosenberg:

    Take a look at a good map and you'll see where these directions are sending you.

    If you have the Mrs with you stop in Fayetteville.The public restrooms in the square are clean and well taken care of. The premium fuel around the corner is well priced (get a loaf of the bread ladies home made bread if they have any left). Watch for deer as you're entering Fayetteville

    Post Oak road is pretty small and most maps don't have it. Not too worry, it goes through no problem. It'll look like you're heading into the RV park but just drive past the entrance.
    Watch for deer before Winchester.

    Drop me a note if you're making a run and maybe I'll show you the way.

    Black 430 with black wheels, I think the wheels might have had a yellow ring around the lip. The 430 was at Skinner turning onto Spring Cypress this afternoon. Also a white GT3 with paper tags on feeder of 290 turning onto Spring Cypress.
