Got back home from Hico in 40 mins. Headed to Cransfil at 5 pm

Thanks to Tom, MLK, PMPTX and the Two Pie Guy.

PmPTX it was nice to meet you and your daughter.
Our kids seem to get along nicely.


I spent the morning with the daughter in the S and I will spend the evening with the Wife in the S.

Thanks again guys sorry I drive like a frightened turtle

Its all good.

Photos coming up soon.

I had a problem with my computer last night (boot sector had to be recovered, but all is well for the moment) hopefully that isn't a sign that my hdd is going bad.

For those of you that didn't go you missed about 30 exotic cars that were driving the same roads as us. It was pretty sick.

Great time Tom. Toughest part was staying awake on the way home on 67 and 35-boring.

The roads you picked were great, everyone missed some really nice rollercoasters.

The exotics weren't at MSR, they were on the road with us. Looked like a Ferrari convention, with a Diablo, NSX and Maser thrown in for good measure.

I was driving along with the Ferraris, etc. I noticed the S's back-in parked at that gas station. Along the whole cruise we also came across a Corvette club and a Fiat club doing their own drives as well. There must be something about the day and location for yesterday.

yeah, I was the one on the corner shooting pictures! were you in the nsx? there was a pretty good group going there. I would have loved to join them, and we saw a couple while on fm 51 just north of pauluxy

it was a perfect day to go on a drive, there were ferraris ranging from the 60's on up to almost the present day,

I was on the corner next to PMPTX and Tom.
My 9 year old was there as well, she loved it.
PMPTX thanks for suggesting the trip to the track.
I would love to go back again some weekend.
Eventually I will get some wheels with a better offset and some 255's for the rear that aren't A/S and are sticky. I will put them on for drive days and swap the daily driver combo back on for weekly duty
For daily driving and wet driving the Pole Positions A/S tires are great they last a long time and aren't noisy however, they SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK for spirited, full throttle driving. The rear end steps out in any kind of corner with the slightest provocation from the throttle. Not fun at least after a couple of near misses. I was sideways more than I was straight so I had to hammer the throttle, hammer the breaks, downshift, slide through the corner, hammer the throttle and repeat.
It was all rather dramatic. It was great fun at some points but it is not the fastest or safest way to get down the road
