Default [DFW] Need a Cruise!

We definitely need a cruise, not sure if anyone is really interested in just getting together and just cruise, so this is the thread for that.

Post up any dates, stops, routes etc.

Probably meet somewhere relatively central... Grapevine, Flower Mound or Richardson area and take it from there.

No stops other than gas and refreshments.

Lets get this going and parade around the DFW metroplex!
MEET TIME IS 10 AM

OFFICIAL DATE IS 31ST


Be sure to put your name on the list so we know who to wait for.

We will meet up at the Starbucks at 10AM then roll out at 11AM. Dont be late or you'll have to play catch up, and believe me it isn't fun... i tried it.

Start Location:
SW corner on Campbell/exit 26 & Hwy 75

Ok, so here's the initial route, it should take approx. 3 hours to drive... maybe too long for some, but a good start... make any detours and post up...

Lets get it going!

Sweet glad to hear the interest!

I really think Richardson is the best place to start, it covers McKinney, Allen, Mesquite, and isnt too far from Arlington, FW, Dallas, GV, etc...

We need a start location in Richardson.

Always up for a cruise.

Cowtown Z is going to do a cruise Saturday Nov 7 th in the late afternoon from Mansfield. They will meet to eat and then go to the Galaxzy Drive-In. I know they wouldn't mind any Z going on just the cruise part or more.

LMAO!!!

hey, everyone needs a vacation every now and then...

in 2006 we used to do this kind of stuff ALL THE TIME!!! it was great... and probably why alot of the DFW members have a bunch of miles... I remember one was about 4 hours long... but that included stops cruises... detours, etc...

it was nuts... in and out of the grapvine lake area... through alot of twisties and turns there, then up through Denton, back to FW, then to Dallas, then to Grapevine... stopped at Hooters, then we realized Hooters in FW had a Midnight Madness car show going, then we rolled up that place, about 10 to 15 strong... it was fun... would have won club participation if we had entered...

There ya go, new title is:

DFW Metroplex Tour No.1

alright,

we'll plan this for those days, i'll have to take at my schedule. I'd hate to be the OP on this thread and not make it for it... that'd be kinda counter-productive.

So does anyone know of a good spot with plenty of parking in richardson to start off in?

Robert? any ideas? I dont frequent the Richardson area so i'll need all your help on this one.

Yup, you and Robert from G-Vine used to be the main players when it came to setting up the meets and cruises.

No sense in breaking up the tradition

and to all, if the current cruise length is scarring you, feel free to jump in and out where ever or suggest detours, as of right now it's not set, but we should get it set soon and get an official date so we can get more people on board.

So i'll post up a date in a few hours, time is probably going to be like 10AM start.

I think it'll be best to do on a weekend as most people have that off. (me not being one of them) but if we're early in the morning, then i can still make it.

so official time, 10AM, i'll update OP.

Whose in so far?

Hey man, I used to do that too! Not so much anymore, though.

Back when I used to try to get people to drag race we met up at Starbucks in Richardson (SW corner on Campbell/exit 26 & Hwy 75). There's a decent size parking lot at the hotel right behind Starbucks.

Yeah Chris, you were the Cruise Masta!...

lol

the funniest was Mothzilla... lol

I think the Starbucks would be a good idea just because it's early in the morning,

and sorry... everytime i get to work i forget to look at the schedule... i'll get it though... this wednesday.

but i do want to make it later so all the other meets dont quite clash with the cruise... with the hopes of a good turnout.

I was going to say the 24th, but then i realized that's only 3 days away, with no promise of good weather...

i think we should plan this for early next month or late this month...

31st?
