Can't make it, pulling the transmission Saturday morning finally. Sounds like fun, sorry I have to miss it.

Court,

Glad to hear the cgsincc roadster will be on the mend soon. I enclose a few sights from the lab in my original invite-post - we will miss you.

John:

I am sorry to miss this one...headed out of town. Hope to make the next meet/cruise. Work has interferred with fun a lot recently.

I'm a maybe.
I think I saw that first green thing in a movie and it wasn't good, do we need to bring protection or do you furnish weapons?

Joe Wicked · #6 (**permalink**) 06-10-2010, 11:42 AM

Would love to, but we have friends over Saturday night and I don't think I will be up Sunday morning in time to be at Richland by 0730

What kind of an estimated ending time are you expecting and I'll let you know.

jdean · #8 (**permalink**) 06-10-2010, 04:45 PM

I'm a definite maybe.

jshel1 · #9 (**permalink**) 06-10-2010, 05:18 PM

A Definite Maybe is better than a Certainly No in my book.

We should be securely parked and at the lab by 0900hrs... make sure you bring a sample to look at/ photograph (dead flying insect, pond scum, sandy loam from your yard, or some shoreline soil, grass or weed thistle, etc). Hour to an hour and half at the laboratory.

1030hrs We cruise to Snuffers on Greenville taking the scenic and adventurous route.

After lunch, a cruise through SMU campus, and end with our parade through the late lunch, after church crowd at Snider Plaza. We should hit the Hillcrest and Lovers split up for home point by 1315 or 1330hrs.

I've just been upgraded to I'll be there along with Nathan, so two cars. Not sure what I will bring to look at, but I know I will have some navel lint with me.

Great idea John----iIs there a easy cut off where I could depart and be back North by 12:00?

jshel1 · #14 (**permalink**) 06-11-2010, 04:50 PM

Frisco by noon?
Absolutely, got two options for you.

Depart from the group as we leave the lab, you head Harry Hines south take Pearl east to McKinnon back north for entrance to NDTollway... giving you an hour half to get there, or

Depart from the group as we spit out the east side of downtown on Commerce, you head north on Central Expressway... giving you one hour to get there (my recommendation).

You smooth talkin, silver tongue devil---I'm in.

Bwana Snake · #16 (**permalink**) 06-11-2010, 06:35 PM

Sorry,

But from past experience I question the sanity of cruising through University / Highland Park anytime Cobras a rumble but on Sunday morning? Safety in numbers I suspect, However I want to be in the middle of the heard. Still not a 100% but getting closer.

jshel1 · #17 (**permalink**) 06-11-2010, 07:10 PM

Bwana's got a warrant out, huh?

We will officially be in Park Cities for mere minutes and only along the outskirts. Idling through Snider Plaza will be one for the highlight reels.

Just in case, bring your paperwork from your DPS certified inspection and let me do the talkin'... (Be sure to bring cash)

Bwana Snake · #18 (**permalink**) 06-12-2010, 07:08 AM

John,

What can I say, you know just getting off of “work release”.

Stoney FFR · #19 (**permalink**) 06-12-2010, 10:45 AM

I've got to get some work done on the Roadster today. Trying to get it ready to leave on a two week trip to Ohio next Saturday! This will more or less be a trial run for driving the Roadster out to California in a few months!

I'll be there unless I run into a snag with prepping the car. Time to get out in the garage now.

EDIT: John, the work is done on the car. Didn't have time for a car wash, so it's dirty, but Cheryl and I will be there..

Stoney FFR · #20 (**permalink**) 06-13-2010, 06:44 AM

Sorry John.. We made it to Arlington and then hit pretty good rain, so we came back home. I don't even see anything on the radar now that I'm back home. I guess we should have just kept on coming.. Oh well, hope it was a good cruise. Sorry we missed out.
