Relocated from San Antonio to Houston. Looking to gather a few owners for coffee and a short drive when weather clears up. I was fairly well connected in San Antonio for auto enthusiasm looking to connect in Houston. we can: Coffee Quick drive not sure where there are good Houston drives Make a run to msr for Karting msr rental instruction Fun low key Meet up and perform main on older f cars.
What part of Houston are you in? I may bring mine up to the far north side. I've also been meaning to meet up with FCA guys in Houston. Not sure if you joined them, but they do a lot of that type of thing. I've enjoyed the events in Austin.
Gc - sounds like fun vaf- we can drive up no problem. I was spoiled w the San Antonio Austin car club scene. Moved during this. Covid and have had no luck connecting w Houston f car club. next cool front?
I think the popular Cars and Coffee have all suspended meetings.. There's a large multi brand one at Memorial City Mall, and my son went to a more import based Catalina Coffee on lower Washington Avenue early Sunday mornings, it is a nice chill time. FCA had a Conroe drive this Saturday that was called on the poor weather.
If Memorial City, doesn’t come back, I won’t shed a tear....it’s a poorly run zoo. I would like to see private exotic events instead.....have a Qualifying car, you get in. We used to have good shows 4-5 years ago, before the rise of the idiots.
agreed on the mem city extravaganza... not my cup of tea @ 52 yo ! I'm suggesting a small informal meet up @ a coffee shop with ample parking...... away from 'peaceful protests'...... grab a coffee and talk cars. I'm good friends with two shops in San Antonio.... we would grab BBQ and meet up at the shop for bs sessions..... and oogle the projects. Hoping to connect back here in Houston. I'm fairly handy on my 360.... and feel confident helping other 'non-warranty' folks with simple diy's. Cheers, - Jeff
i am usually up for a meet. give us a little notice. i have a suggestion: we drive to Old Spring, and choose a restaurant. i heard there is a great Mexican place - will get the name from the guy who told me about it
Here in the Heights there's lots of options...the parking behind Discount Tire at 18th is HUGE and there's Egg Haus there (spin off of King's Bierhaus) and then Hub Cap Burgers, or the Italian place further down 19th. They are ALL hurting, I'm sure be glad to have us. August is gonna be brutal, slow start to it right now quite pleasant.
Look forward to f car meet greet coffee. Will keep it simple and low key. Low key - no parking lot exhaust rev battles Perhaps we can coordinate w a restaurant for the special parking. I’m ready to see some cars and meet up w the Hou crowd. we had a great San Antonio / Austin crowd.
I am also up for this! I have been looking for a good meetup and would love to get coffee and talk cars. Someone else mentioned it, but there are several perfect spots in the Heights. Boomtown Coffee is a good spot since there are a ton of street parking and people could mingle and look at cars. Starbucks on Westcott also is a nice spot since Bubba's right next door to it is closed and has a large parking lot. Let's make this happen!
Suggest folks simply post up a date time loc for a meet. so far we have: a). Old town spring mex rest drive eat b). Heights coffee car ogle. c). Msr Karting run - was at msr this past Sunday at 10am open and it was dead but open. Please post up ideas.... and we can attend as time allows
Perhaps there is a Houston area ind exotic shop interested in having us deliver bbq and meet greet ogle cars extended bs session? might be a good way to connect
missed this, but the collective organized a drive this saturday that was fun that @TestaRoss a good heights meeting spot is the common bond parking lot - big flat area.
Yes, wish I had seen this sooner, I would have reached out to you all. We had a great drive with some amazing cars on Sat at The Car Collective. Pics on Instagram: @thecarcollectivetx We would be happy to host a small gathering/drive sometime. Always great to meet everyone.
Y'all let me know the next time. We have a nice big parking lot available all enclosed with a gate, if you want to meet up. Nobody will bother a group get together and no people will intrude and walk up to the cars. 1 block away are bars and restaurants. cars will be secure. 6 1/2 St. and Studewood (Heights). (1 block north of what was Fitzgeralds's).
