    Houston- 1st '05 Meet

    Tone & I are kicking around the idea of the 1st '05 Houston get together on April 23rd (Saturday). It's the first chance we've had to meet up since the early winter and we figured it gave the new owners a chance to introduce themselves personally. It also gives the opportunity for Tone to bring a batch of his "goodies" down south for those who might not want to wait (or pay) on shipping.

    There are no plans "etched in stone" yet but figure on the usual gathering out here in Katy then heading off for parts unknown to include dinner & what-ever-else-may-happen.

    Consider this post as an early "who's interested" and I'll advise as plans develop

    What a bummer,

    I was hoping to be over on business and get a chance to attend a meet but I can't make it until first week of May. Never mind I might catch the next.

    We could possibly change to the first weekend in May - it will be right before Moab but if all our prep has been done, it will be a good road test. No dates are set in stone and we want to maximize attendance instead of just George and I sitting looking at each other!
    Ask forgiveness, not permission.

    But I like that part

    VX Crazy is right. This is easily flexible for someone across the pond.

    Talked to the boss over a beer and they're happy to cover me for the weekend of the 7th/8th May. So if your meet was 7th I'd really like to attend. Things can be a bit changeable with my company but I'm pretty sure I'll be there.

    How much advance notice can you give us if you CAN'T make it? The original weekend had some additional benefits for some of us but we'd certainly like to accommodate and meet you.

    I would like to go but I can't do April 23rd - major garage sale planned for that day. Maybe I will make enough to cover Moab. hahahahaha

    Anyway, the May dates are fine.

    The 7th of May sounds like a winner if BritVX's plans don't change. Let's shoot for that Saturday then. Gives us a chance to meet what will probably be the owner who traveled the furthest for a meet.

    Brit-let me know when your plans are set and we'll take it from there.

    Hey everybody,

    I am in Midtown Houston. Most of my weekends are free so just let me know when and where you want to meet. Also, need some work done and not sure if I am going to be able to make it out to see Tone in Austin. Any recommendations on garages in or around Houston to get her serviced?

    Thanks,
    Adam

    Glad to hear you can make it Adam & will keep you posted. I have always taken mine to McKinzey Bond Isuzu on Katy Fwy (east of Mason exit). They have done great work and never hammered me on costs. I recently had my 60k done there and felt the price was more than reasonable. Just my 2 cents

    Guys,

    Sorry for messing you about but my company has changed my travel, I'm now to be in Houston next week from Monday to Friday and then returning around 26th April until 6th May therefore I would be around for Saturday 30th. I'm sure they'll stick to this as it's the Oil show the only other problem that would effect things is family illness, unfortunately my mum in law is very ill and that may throw all my plans out of the window.

    Sorry to hear about the in-law problem Col...our prayers are with you & the family. It seems the 30th is not going to work for the majority of us so I'm going to move the date back to the 23rd. Send me a PM and perhaps we can get together while you're in the Big City anyway.

    For those who have an might want to attend- the plan is to shoot for the afternoon of the 23rd (sat) of this month. Time for local owners to post here and advise of any interest.

    The 23rd works for me.

    Also, I got Suzie fixed today. Robbins Isuzu in Humble. They were great. Stuck me $386 to change the intake manifold gasket but that seemed reasonable. Great people - they said they actually used to get a VX in all the time but haven't seen it in a while.

    Can't wait to meet you guys,

    Adam
