And its more than a little road rash. I actually need a new trunk lid and stuff. But I'll definitely be around to catch the next one... Hopefully by then I'll have everything situated.

i think i'm one of the only current active members in SA (all the solaras around here are driven by empty nesters)....and there are a lot of solaras here....

Hey what about FRS (aka motorola talkabout and clones) radios? Most people have these now, and they usually have decent range, and usually work out nicely for club drives like this. Miata club uses them a lot, though it's a bit harder to hear with all that wind noise in a convertible!

I will try to make it- My uncle Charlie lives in Austin and hes a award winning car painter. It would be cool if I could get him to show up.

I'll bring my christmas tree 04 SE Solara...christmas tree because almost all my dash lights are on

(hey my car was flooded!) still has some minor electric issues

^Sounds good!
Let me know if you can for sure make it. For now Ill put you down as a maybe.

So, whats your name and where in Texas do you live at???

Alright I took the Accord out and played down in the Volente area, lots of twisties and fun stuff but didn't go all the way through only went about 18 miles down then turned around. Maybe someone wants to google map it and see if this is a good route or not?

Ill check it out when I get to the house.

I will not be attending. Sorry folks but I have to work.

From what I looked at on www.googlemaps.com the route looks great. Its nice and twistee.

So after Rudy's we will head down FM Rd 620N and turn left onto Anderson Mill Rd. Shortly after that turn left onto Volente Rd. Im hopeing its not horribly busy so we can have a nice brisk twisty ride. Not stuck behind some grandma in a Buick.

About halfway through Volente Rd is Cypress Creek Park. If yall wana stop and take some pics we can. After the park theres somemore twists and turns. Then before Lime Creek Rd there is:

Volente, Texas - Volente is a village in Travis County, Texas (USA). Located on the north shore of Lake Travis, the village was incorporated in 2003. The population was estimated at 394 in 2007.

Highland Lakes Marina: Volente-Lake Travis - Dockside Parking, Use of picnic area, BBQ grills, beach, swimming area, and washer pit included.

Volente Fire Department Volunteers - A fire dept

Volente Beach Summer Day Camp - Park Area with Waterslides, pool, sandy beach, burger type restaruant, pizza shack and lakeside fine dining, music and dancing Friday and Saturday evenings at the Blu Parrot. www.volentebeach.com

VIP Marina At Volente Beach - A lot more fun if we had a boat. www.volentemarina.com

If we wana stop at any of those places we can if yall wana.

So after Volente Rd we can turn onto Lime Creek Rd. Lots and lots of twistees. Lime Creek Rd will lead us back to Anderson Mill Rd. In between the start of Lime Creek Rd and Anderson Mill Rd is two parks.

Malberger Park & Sandy Creek Park

From the look at the map there are some backroad straight aways that dead end near Sandy Creek Park. Im hopeing they arent residential areas so as maybe we could do a little racing. Its up to yall. Has anyone been in this area? Jake?

So like I said Lime Creek Rd will take us back to Anderson Mill Rd. From there its up to yall. We could do some photoshoots of our Laras or we can continue to Mozarts Coffee, its whatever Im game.

Yeah, I went lime creek, to dies ranch road then hit volente road.

^^Not sure I follow ya?
Is Ranch Rd off Volente Rd?
...or do you take Ranch Rd to get to Volente Rd?

volente is cool, i have a buddy that lives out there (on the lake)

he's a camry driver (though not really a car guy), but i'll see if he wants to come

but that area is pretty good he says, for twisties and not too much traffic
