Hi Im new to the Speedsters. Im also in Dallas Texas

I have been admiring the Speedster kits out there and would love to get one myself.
I have always been a car guy my entire life and with the prices of vehicles now a days it's almost impossible to have a show car to play with on the week ends.

So I will be on here from time to time reading on the tips, and learning from all you pros on here.

Thanks!

I love beating Lane to this. Welcome to the madness!

"Welcome to the Madness", a phrase that pretty well sums it up.....You'll love the "nuts" on this site.....Just watch out for the ones wearing the sport coats with the "tie in the back" sleeves...... 8>)

Leon types with a pen in his mouth :~)

Welcome to the madness, take your time and read the many related first speedster posts.... ~Alan

Welcome to the most fun you can have with your clothes still on. Wait a minute, I don't have any clothes on . . . .

TMI, David, TMI.

Dagnabbit, Tom! Ya beat me!

Welcome to the, er, insanity! (?) Just doesn't have the same ring, does, it?

Welcome to the Madness, Eric!

Welcome Eric, just don't believe half of what these mobile mutants say.

Welcome! I'm in Denton and I'm glad to hear there is another enthusiast in the area! We will have to get together soon if we can get rid of this crazy weather. I'm always glad to show off my car :) Pics on my profile as is my email... Look forward to hearing from you!

Hello everyone! ! !

Hi Eric

I'm in Gatesville about an hour south of you. We may have talked on the phone. Your welcome to stop by any time and talk speedsters.

Looks like maybe there should be a Texas speedster get together.

I'm in!

I think there are well over 50 Speedster owners in the Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. And I haven't even looked at New Mexico, Colorado, or Kansas. So maybe a get together may work!
150 in the registry within a 700 mile circle of where I am in central Texas.

I'm in Denton and would love to get in on some central get together! I tried emailing everyone on the registry within 150 miles or so and if I got a reply it was that they didn't have their cars anymore for one reason or another. I don't suppose there would be some way to glean the registry down to those that had been on the site in a year or so and then have an archive of others? Anyway, count me in on anything we can put together! Maybe a bluebonnet run? Have to hook up pretty quickly for that next 30 days or so.

I'd like to be invited. We'd love to maybe even get my Dad to tag along in his tub as well. Maybe around the Texas Motor Speedway?

Eric, if you plan on picking up one of these tubs you'll gonna find out that it's not a from "time to time" thing when visiting this site, it becomes a more likely an every half hour thing, checking in and catching up with these so-called experts and what their up too here... when you decide to pull the trigger we'll be here with you when you do, in fact some of these guys might even know the car you're going to buy... Believe me my new friend... these animals know a ton about these special little rides and I STILL love mine... You should be able to find some sweet deals right now.. some folks are hurting out there and it seems to be a buyers market right now... Good hunting

Speedster "D"

Well if Hot Springs, AR has enough attraction to host the #1 Harley Owner's Group (HOG) in the nation as well as the #1 Bassmasters tournament in the country on our Lake Hamilton,it could be a great destination for a Speedster owners gathering.

Google it and see what you think.

A "central" location would take nothing away from the Carlisle or W. Coast events--that's certain, but if there were enough cars and folks who wanted to get together,this would be the place.

BMW's magazine at one time voted our Highway 7 as the #1 scenic drive in America. Personally I'd say that was US1 at Big Sur, but that's what BMW felt that year. The Rockefeller car museum is on that route
and is a great destination---Google that too.

Because we have a thoroughbred horse racing track here, we have far more than our share of first class motels, hotels and restaurants. The lakes and Ouachita mountains make it a scenic paradise too.

I know we have folks in LA, MS, TX, TN, MO, OK and more in the center of the country and there may be some others who, like me, enjoy longer drives in their Speedsters.

There is time for something late this fall?

Any interest and any other ideas on timing and location? Alice and I would be "in" for wherever it might be held in the 6 state area.

Another thought would be to rotate the venue within the "South Mid West-ish" area.

Sounds great Jack! Martha and I used to make an almost annual drive through there and up to Eureka Springs in mid-October to catch the fall color. Seems a popular destination as the last trip we made there was a Corvette convention in town with cars showing in every parking lot it seems.
