Houston Bluebonnet Run
April 2nd will be the Z Club of Houston's Annual Bluebonnet Run.
You don't have to be a member to come along. Just show up and fall in line.
We'll be doing lunch and a winery tour in Brenham.
This one will not be like past ones, that became known as Blur-bonnet Runs
, because looks like I'll be driving my Wife's '70 Datsun Toadster...not real fast, but very cool and fun to drive.
Should be a fun day...hope you can join us.
If you're interested, shoot me an email at: zcardave@houston.rr.com
and I'll send you the same flyer that I sent to all of our members.

Sorry that we didn't meet your expectations.
So it's not on the website. This is something that is beyond my control.
I posted my personal email address, offering to send you the information.
There's just no pleasing some people....yeesh !
To those of you that HAVE inquired about the B.B. Run...THANKS !
I'm holding my breath for good weather.
Looks like we might have a pretty good turnout too !
Hope to see everybody there.

p.s.- don't forget to set your clocks ahead an hour Sat. Night, so you won't be an hour late, Sunday Morning.

Thanks for the time check. I DID need that.
I hope a lot of folks turn out. I would, but I don't think I can fit it in Sunday. Happy Motoring.

The reason I don't post my email notices, is because they get rather "lengthy".
But if this will make people happy, and possibly cause them to join us....
here it is !
SUNDAY, APRIL 2nd
Is the energetic, eclectic, exciting, electrifying, enigmatic
(I’ll wait while you run to the dictionary)
~ 06 BLUEBONNET RUN ~
That’s right…it’s that time of the year again.
Time to take the Z out of storage, dust it off, gas it up and let’s go “stretch our springs” down some of Texas more picturesque roads.
Here are the rules of the day:
RULE #1…DO NOT PASS ME …I am your leader…except in one scenario.
If I am pulled over by the local constabulatory (a.k.a. – the police), keep driving right on by like you’ve never seen me before!
But…
Other than that, stay behind me…even involving u-turns and other strange and unusual driving maneuvers ! (if you’ve ever been on one of my Bluebonnet Runs, you’ll know that I’m prone to do that)
RULE #2…When we pull over for one of our various and assorted stops along the way; and it is time to “hit the road” again, you do not have to get back in the same exact order in which you were in before…remember…we’re all going in the same direction (hopefully).
No cutting in line, no tailgating, drive courteous with your headlights on.
In other words…PLAY NICE !
THE DAY STARTS AT:9:00am (oh come on…it’s not THAT early)
Meet at the Academy Parking Lot on Hwy.290
( North of Baker-Jackson Nissan).
It’s almost on the corner of Hwy. 290 and FM 1960.
Come a little early so that you can walk over to La Madeline’s for a morning coffee/snack. We’ll be pulling out at 9:30am - SHARP !
We’ll be heading out on Hwy290 West towards Brenham.
This year, we’ll be having lunch at Purcell’s Country Style Buffet…a popular place that we’ve frequented during past B.B. Runs. What makes this most attractive is that it’s buffet style, reasonably priced, good parking lot and conveniently located for us, and our friends in the Austin, San Antonio, and Brazos Valley Clubs, who we hope will join us for lunch.
It’s always neat to meet some of the other Z Clubs.
After a great meal, what better way to finish up (other than dessert) than to get to kick some strange, new tires out in the parking lot afterwards.
Purcell’s is located just South of the intersection of 290 and 36, on the South Side of Brenham.
After a great lunch, we’ll cruise over to the Pleasant Hill Winery (which is located VERY closely to Purcell’s) for a tour of their facilities.
Than a leisurely cruise back home, down some “back roads” J.
We’ll probably wind up on I-10 and come back into Houston through Katy (note I say “probably”. Remember…part of the adventure is getting there and getting back ! If you’re unsure about this concept, go back to the top of this page and read rule #1 !
Having just returned from a long road trip myself, we drove through this area.
As predicted, the Bluebonnets are gonna be kind of “thin” this year due to lack of rainfall.
But…
I’m sure that we’ll still have a lot of fun seeing what there is to see.
Bring your camera, take lots-o-pictures.
Hope to Zee you there !

If you get hopelessly lost, call me on my cell (which I hope to remember to bring) @:281-217-2717
If you can’t make it to the 9:30am “launch”, feel free to join us at any point along the way.
Driving a Z is suggested, but never a requirement !

I've gotten a few emails with questions...so, in an attempt to keep anyone that is interested, updated....here is the latest:
Just a reminder about the Bluebonnet Run this coming Sunday.
THANK GOODNESS, club member Danny (I’m sure it was his lovely Wife Karen) Dodson thought about the leap to daylight savings time this coming Sunday (so now, you have no excuse).
He also pointed out that statistically speaking, 40% of club members will be late due to this fact.
I vote that we all show up on time and beat him up for doubting us J
A couple of questions that have popped up since my last email…
1) about what time will this wrap up?
A: when we’re through…just kidding ! Lunch will usually last from around 11-11:30 till 12:30. The winery tour…an hour & ½. Photo ops, detours, getting lost, etc….I’m guessing we should be back in Houston (around Katy), on I-10 around 5pm (this is a definate guesstimate)
2) What about if it rains?
A: I don't know about y'all, but I plan to roll up my windows and turn on my windshield wipers (we’ll already have our headlights on)
3) How much does lunch cost?
A: Purcell’s is a buffet style restaurant. It’s all you can eat for something like $8 or 9 dollars.
4) Should I bring my walkie-talkie?
A: sure, if you want to learn new curse words ! but seriously….SURE…it really helps me in keeping everybody together.
From the looks of the emails that I’ve been receiving, it looks like it should be a pretty good turnout.
Looking forward to a fun day !
Don’t forget to roll them clocks forward one hour, Saturday Night !!!

Homie,
are you kidding me? Your G35 was a hit with our group.
As I was telling you at Dairy Queen...you have the distinction of being the first G35 to show up at any of our Z Functions !
Cool car !
I especially liked your back facia.
..and yes, you are correct. We had a total of 28 cars show up for the caravan. Was that cool or what?
Thanks for joining us.
Feel free to join us for any other of our events...you're always welcome !
