Mid Texas Holiday event

[Fully Vetted]

Hey, guys. For anybody that's interested we're having a get together on Sat Dec 10th in Buffalo, Tx. About halfway between Dallas and Houston. We do this a few times a year. Just a chance to meet new owners and catch up with old friends. Right now it looks like it's going to be in the 50's and sunny. Great day for a drive. Here's a link to the event.

There'll be caravans from Dallas, Houston and San Antonio so post up if you can make it.

[billschroeder5842]

I'm in. Looking forward to the meeting place and time near Dallas for the caravan down!

[MickeyD]

I guess I'll go too. Wives are certainly invited!

[Fully Vetted]

I'll probably be alone. She knows she's liable to get ignored if she comes along. She'll probably come to the spring gathering at your place, though. It's a longer trip and we'll probably grab a place to stay and go back the next day.

Tell her to go. My wife and pretty sure Steve's wife will go.

[32valvesftw]

I'm planning to go, and bring the wife as well.

[Fully Vetted]

I'll see if she's already planned anything.

I had a great time- I can't wait for the March event.

[Fully Vetted]

Great time had by all.

Demps: please explain how you got a 4 post lift in what appears to be a standard garage. Is that an illusion?

Maybe start another thread (unless there already is one).

If only we could have had today's weather. We are now back up in the 60's here right now. I have to imagine that this was the first time in years that my car was taken out and actually ran for once. I pushed it past the 130 mark a couple of times and it was still pulling hard. I say this because the car had 15k mi as of 2011 and I crossed the 18.5k mark doing this run yesterday which was over 200mi round trip. This car is extremely tight and like new.

[MickeyD]

No kidding, 70's today. Let's go see Dave today. See how fast we make it to Dallas. If we get there in under 2 hours, he has to buy us chicken!

You need Jerry to run interference since his radar detector would be essential for a sub 2 hour run![emoji61]

Speaking of Italians, don't put them in the backseat.

Dave, I didn't see a response from Demps so I thought I would jump in. Each Vette is about 4' high at the highest point so I would guess he had at least 8'6" to 9' to the ceiling. Maybe 10'. Here are a couple of pix of mine--9' 10" at the back and about 10' at the overhead door due to floor slope. My garage is 21' x 21' with an 18' wide door (vs the standard 16'). I have a 5' tall car and a 4' tall car and I moved my door tracks up to within about 6" of the ceiling. Also put in a Jackshaft opener and trimmed the horizontal reinforcing rib on the door above the top car and replaced with a "L" channel piece of steel (after the pix were taken; I can now get then top one in facing forward). But it is certainly an ordinary two car garage from the outside. More pix in my albums section if you need them. The new Z06 is roughly two inches taller than the ZR-1 so there isn't much room left.--Bob

[Fully Vetted]

Thanks, Bob. I would like to add a '69 or '70 LT1 as a stable mate to The Beast but can't force the wife to park outside. Time to start measuring...
