Definitely welcome to the Houston Crowd. There are quite a few of us here ... but we haven't had a formal get together in a while ... I think it is time for one.

Technically, doubles, is noted to live in Waxahachie. Which is actually close to the DFW (Dallas) region. But of course you are more than welcome to take the 3.5-4 hour drive down and hang.

I use to live in DFW, and my sisters still do. I visit every so often.

Definitely welcome again to you doubles and Timken500.

I am up for something this weekend or next weekend. Hooters has great beer prices 4.25 for a very cold 23oz draft beer in a frozen mug. I also dont mind Twin Peaks but there is always a line and it is hard to get a table. I dont think I mentioned it but I am a football fan as well. Any Cowboys fans in the house. :-)

Did you happen to purchase your SVT recently from Emmons Motor Company in Pasadena? If so, PM me as I am the previous owner and have a couple of items for that car that you may be interested in.

It was the cleanest engine block I've EVER seen in a focus, seriously. Oh and Tim's mustang is a ridiculously fast sleeper mustang. Looks like any other mustang on the road till he lays into the go pedal. It's as fast as you would want a street car....seriously. Hell I'm still grinning just thinking about it! Had a blast today Tim thanks again for the drinks and the ride in the fun-stang.
