I'm opening another post about this, because some people that use the board can't seem to locate the other one. We're going to have a casual drive this Sunday, January 15, starting at 9am. We'll meet at the Starbucks at the corner of the Tollway and Parker Rd. in Plano. The route I have mapped out is about 110 miles, with 50% highway, 50% backroads. We'll end back where we started in Plano. I expect to be home by 11:30. If you'd like to join us, please do. We have 5 or 6 cars lined up already, but the more the merrier.
How was the drive? I couldn't participate, I need to find out if the brake failure light that lit up intermittently on my Austin trip yesterday is a sensor problem or the real thing. Seemed kind of irresponsible to pull it out of the garage without knowing for sure.
Drive was good, 6 Italians showed up and only one was red! There were 4 silvers ones, one white. We found a great road East of Sherman that was a lot of fun and in good shape. Another road west of Van Alstyne was a lot of fun to drive, but had some pretty amazing dips in it, caused a few bottom scrapes. We did about 110 miles total, and we were done before noon. Thanks all for showing up, it was a great time.

The drive was lots of fun - thanks for doing the work to put this together. Hope the birthday boy enjoyed his first Ferrari experience. p.s. Where's the pic of Carolyn sporting her movie star glasses????
She was afraid that someone would recognize who was behind those Foster Grants! Great drive Jim, a lot of fun. If we do another in the immediate future I will remember to run behind Nick so that he can ferret out the "BIG" dips.
Texas 69 from Sherman/Dennison back to Bells, then on to Bonham is pretty good.........beautiful country. There's an ex-dancer from Dallas, working as a waitress at the Bonham Cafe........... That was a nice thing to do!
