Hello...I currently reside in Florida but lived in Texas from 1991 to 2004. Lived in Killeen (91-95), then Conroe (north of Houston) 95-04. I have been involved with Corollas (and one celica) for years but never an AE86 until summer 2002 when I got a GT-S out the back of a "we finance" dealership in Killeen, during one of my annual trainings with the Army Reserves.
I got it cheap with bad engine and body damage but by spring 2003 I got it running with complete rebuilt blue top and other needed repairs.
From 03 thru the time I moved to FL, there was only Club4AG and one small club that I knew about from Austin and one of the members you all know, Black Trueno AE86 (Emilio).
The first Houston Drift event by C4AG (spring 03) where I had the chance to meet Moto P & Emilio JR & SR, was the only time I had a chance to meet with some nice AE86's other than the guy who help me rebuilt mine and owned 2. After that I did try to start a Toyota car club in the north side of Houston but with no luck...then the move took place.
We (wife and I) miss Texas!
Now I found this forums thanks to Nexus who directed me here from c4ag...thanks.

Well...I just never noticed nor landed on any particular thread (that I could recall) with this information. But, I was looking for a TX site in google, and other forums until Nexus reply with this one.
Small world!!
I want hook up some of my old friends that still live in Houston and may want to plug in with a car club or group of old school toyota owners.
I know of 3 that (as far as I know) own ae86's and one starlet. 2 of them are brothers; one moved to LA, but comes back to Houston to visit with his brother from time to time. The older use to be a certified mechanic @ Fred Haas Toyota...but now is working for a drilling company in the Gulf of Mexico. The 3rd guy, I have no clue where he is but used to live near FM1960 on the north part of Houston...with a red AE86. But I may be able to find them...

Thanks Doctor! and FL is short for "FaiL"...you just don't know how bad!!
I was wondering where to go post "members rides" pictures; I tought it was at the "MEdia" but saw how it was more car shows and event so I did not wanted to disrupt that.
I've been wanting to contact one of the moderator to find that out and also may be suggest a "Event Pictures" dedicated to after events...make it easier to see those pictures than going thru the original invitation or announcement and then finding the pictures...but hey, just a thought!!
Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome...just stay tuned for my rides pictures...and yes I still have the AE86...plus an AE92!
