Hi gang,

Well cooler weather is finally upon us (and no hurricanes yet, fingers crossed!). I'd like to invite everyone over to my place for a BBQ on October 9th at 5pm (ish).

I live in the Heights, which is central for just about every roadster owner in the area (Kingwood, Katy, Pearland, Conroe).

My roadster is all put back together and I sure hope to have her running by then - but even if you don't have a running roadster, please come on by to swap stories (There was this one time I drove my roadster from Berkeley to Lake Tahoe...) etc.

I'll provide meat and beer - please bring a side dish if there's anything in particular you like.

If you can make it please respond here - I'll send everyone a msg with the address.

Cheers
James

Count me +1 in!

Hi James,
Don't forget to bump this thread a few times as it might get missed by folks who don't check in too often.
Sounds like fun, a Texas BBQ. Yeehaw!

Jeeze....Just realized it's at 5-ish. I wonder if my headlights and tail lights work???

There's always duct tape and flashlights This IS Texas you know...lol

James...FYI, I also invited Barbara (who is in Memorial). However, she will be out of town for the weekend.

She has 2 roadsters (one low windshield & high windshield), 2 Bluebird Wagons, 1 Bluebird Sedan and an L320 truck!

Thanks for doing that Dan. Too bad she won't be around - it sounds like she has an impressive collection!

Cheers
James

James,
Count me in.
LMK the details

Best regards,
Rick

Will do Rick,

Some good news on my end is that my car is running! So I can at least get it out of the garage for a few pix

Also: spotted at Coffee and Cars on Saturday (by a friend) was this car:
Way to represent the Datsun brand! Need to give those corvette owners something to think about.

Cheers
James

James,
Congrats on your progress.
That photo appears to be Dan Z. & his son!

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder about the BBQ at my place tomorrow: so far I have confirmed:

Dan Z + 1
Bwana +1
It's a Datsun (+1???)
I'm still hoping to hear back from Lowdown in Friendswood - I hope he can make it.

And all others welcome!

The get-together starts at 5 pm and I'm hoping to do a photoshoot between 6 and 7 when the light is good

If you need directions still, shoot me an email or a PM. My address is reefpix at geeeeeemmmmaiilllll.com

Cheers
James

What a great time - and thanks to everybody that made it out. A perfect evening for a BBQ - and I needed the inspiration to keep my project going at a strong pace

Here are a few photos
Of course - I waited until after dinner to get the photos and it was pretty dark :-/ Also you may notice that one car is featured more prominently in the photo than others - hehe - couldn't help it! The other two cars were absolutely GORGEOUS - and look at the subtle differences. Pretty cool - very personalized.

Cheers
James

A nice showing indeed, but the real question...how was the food?!

Food was fantastic! James cooked up a feast! Shrimp, steak, chicken and even Barbequed Fruit (Its okay, we live in Texas) Also a full assortment of grilled vegetables: Mushrooms, Squash, Eqqplant , onions & more.

Great evening with friends. Thanks for pulling this together James.

I'll bet if you would have taken a pic of the FOOD, you would have 5 times as many people next time!
Looks like a nice group of Roadster pals
