summer is coming up. that means great weather ahead. i was thinking. in austin we have alot of nice touge style roads. they wind up and down and around the hills of westlake. i was thinking it would be cool to have a cruise thru the hills, then cruise on down to one of the parks on the lake and have a bbq. what do you guys think? would you be willing to drive out here to cruise a really nice winding road, or two? let me know what you guys think.

i'm going to start planning this. let me know how long would be a good time to wait till after this meet to set the date for this. also i was going to see if everyone wanted to pitch in some $$ for the bbq? or would like to bring something but since most people will be driving pretty far i dout you would want to make something and bring it. i'll get a better idea after this meet and start planning more when i get back.

I'm definitely down for this. Been too long since I've taken my 86 through the twisty roads of Austin.
