You get an 'A' for effort . . . trying to make a lunch meet.

OK since this has already been mentioned, lets go for this:

Fox and Hound English Pub & Grille- Dallas/Midway Road
18918 Midway Road
Dallas, TX 75287

Let say 12:45-1 p.m. ish just to be safe (giving myself time to make sure my wheel deal goes smoothly and I can find my way there) .

How does this sound guys ?

Here is a little background on me.

I have a 2004 TL A-Spec SSM/6MT/Navi. Just received it this month. DuckBlue from the Acura-TL site told me about you guys trying to meet. Seems the TLers are not getting it together right now. Thought it would be good to at least start somewhere with meeting local Acura folks.

I was a former '96 Impala SS owner and club member and enjoyed doing the car club with the Impala guys. I'm looking forward to finding something with a club now that I made the switch to the TL.

I posted some pics if interested .. http://ssam.homeip.net/e107_plugins/...s.php?album=29

Sorry we got this late, but you are always welcome. This is a mixed group as it is with STis, CLs, TLs, Nissans, Evos . . etc.

Anyway, I have a TLS so you would not have been the long wolf out there.

Keep tabs on us so you can make the next meet.

Too bad you couldn't make it . . . would have loved to have an 04 TL 6sp out today.

BTW, my first car was a 1968 Impala.

I really enjoyed getting away from the house with all that was going on. It's amazing that no matter who shows up at our meets we always seem to have a great bunch of folks and a great time.

I'm looking forward to our next meet . . . hopefully in 2 weeks or so to do some cooling mod upgrades on a couple of cars.

Oh well, back to work mode.

Props to you for making the drive up from Austin.

Too bad it started to rain, but we got some pics in before it did. Look forward to the next time you can make it.

Well I'm home, safe and sound, and tired and with a dirty ass white car. Accidents and rain made traveling back home a bitch.
Aaron, Mark, Grayson and Serena (sp?), and Vihn, was great seeing/meeting you guys/gal. I look forward to the cooling mod meet.

I also found it funny that we all (with the exception of Civic and Ruf) have the broken bracket on our AEM's

Great looking cars too

Sorry about the bad weather . . I can relate as I drove in some really bad stuff a couple of weeks ago and it makes driving . . well what you said . . a 'B', but glad everyone made it back safely.

So I hope we are on soon, perhaps the Saturday a week after the 4th.

Ah Civic . . . hang in there . . . . just don't feel like because your car can't hang right now that you can't. I'm sure you'll get something that'll put you right on top again.

Sorry for the no-show. I should have mentioned before I try not to drive my better car in the rain. If the next meet is rain free I'll be there. I ge really bummed when it rains alot and I can't just jump in the TL and go for a drive.

Chopper -- I'm impressed you came all the way in from Shreveport, IN THE RAIN!

Heh, yeah, the rain defin. sucked!!! Both going up to Dallas, and driving back to Austin, it was raining pretty good, and at times pouring-and I don't use that term lightly!! It made the trip so much longer than it usually is!! On top of that, Sareenah fell asleep as soon as we got back into the car, so I decided it would not be good to turn up the music-made me want to go to sleep also!!! Blagh, I hate driving in the rain-my car is so damn dirty now!!

You don't think I managed a 14.58 on just CAI-RAM and wheels did you . . every little bit helps.

Two weeks is looking good . . . I'll know more after this week.
