Once again it appears we have a group of non-committals. If we don't get some more participants by next Sunday (6 march), I'm dropping out.

Paige, seeing this is in your backyard, where is a good location to join up? I'l be coming across 46 from Boerne, Roger and Anthony from the South, you're already there, and I don't know if we have any more from the north.

Robert we are planning on joining up in New Braunfels, thence to GRUENE for lunch. After which we will take a fun drive up the RIVER ROAD to CANYON LAkE for some snaps.Time permitting after we will stop for a refreshment at one of the Ice Houses below the dam. After that everyone find their own way home.
We will be a ways below and west of Austin, see map, so if you have something specific in mind, let's plan a future GTG
comments anyone?

John, looks like Bobbie and I will be able to make the run, so count us as 'probably.' Crimson Blaze is freshly clay-barred and has a new coat of Meguiars and is lookin' good and ready to run.

John, I'll give you a buzz about joining up.

Looking' forward to the GTG and thanks for your hard efforts to pull it off, John!

Hi John,

Looks like this would be a GTG that Teresa and I can make. It works out that it will be between races for me. So for now...count us in!!

Paul, I will call him again next week as soon as I get schedule with NASA. Last he told me was he was going to see if "Tony" could make up a couple(????). Anything special U R looking for?
Hope you guys can make it. Let me now your join up plans if you can...
Thanx, John

PS was supposed to get my SRT6 Wheels (which are on Snow White) powdered coated this week, think it's slipped though because of color match.

Hi Reeca..

March and April are crazy months for me. I may get away on the 13th tough. It's looking good so far . I'm getting things done on the crossfire.

New shocks (KYB, thanks to Bob's, Lantana's review)... new back wheels... if anyone has another suggestion for a more comfortable ride, I am up for it. Working on new interior (silver carbon fiber)... new sound system.... now looking for a matching shift **** (silver carbon fiber)...

Hopefully all done by next week

Anyway, I need some help. My passenger side Headlight's turn signal is not working. It turns out that the connection is all corroded and the only fix is a new headlight assemble. I refuse to pay $400,- plus just to get this %$#^ turn signal fixed. Does anyone have an extra one for a reasonable price? I tried online, salvage places and have no luck

Hopefully see you all next weekend

Eric, certainly hope you can make it. Sorry to hear about your TS. The part # I come up with is 5174-703AA but I can not find it listed anywhere. I will check tomorrow morning with my friend at the dealership to see if there is a cross reference, and a price. I get a 20% CICCI discount from Ancira in San Antonio. Let you know.

Eeric, sounds like you're making some really neat improvements to your xfire... did you address the exhaust system yet?
