Looking for Roadster owners in Austin, Louisville, Milwaukee, San Antonio and Buffalo

Hey guys,

I'm a newbie looking to see and maybe ride in FFRs in the above cities. Haven't purchased yet, still researching what I want. I'm a pilot with long overnights in these cities and thought I might be able to meet some of you there. If you might be willing to share your car (not asking to drive it) or know of meets or other gatherings, please let me know. So here's the dates and cities.

8 Sep- Austin, TX
9 Sep- Louisville, KY
15 Sep- Milwaukee, WI
17 Sep- San Antonio, TX
18 Sep- Buffalo, NY

Thanks so much for the time,

Bonose

Try the regional forum on the site, I think some guys cruise San Antonio on Friday nights so there maybe a few guys in that area.

I' m sure you'll get some takers from the Austin Club. I popped in there last summer and was invited out to the lake, burgers fries, Steve picked me up in his car ( I was downtown). Great group of guys, I even came home with a ACC t-shirt.



Sorry for the picture quality, my iPhone had just had a bath that day!

If you live in Denton, why don't you just meet up with the Texas Cobra Club DFW when you're in town? We get together one to three times a month. Just follow the threads on Club Cobra in the Texas Cobra Club forum. It's all announced and planned there..

We generally have guys driving FFR Roadsters and a Coupe, Hurricanes, Lone Stars, CSX, Street Beast and probably a couple of other brands that don't come to mind right now represented..

The weekend that you're going to be in Milwaukee is the Fall Vintage Festival at Road America, just an hour up the road and there are usually one or a few of these cars there for such events. If you can get a crew car or a rental, it'd be worth the trip. I think some of the WI FFR guys were talking about heading up there, so check out the regional forum for more info.

Jim,
I posted your request on the Austin Cobra Club Yahoo Group. I'll be out of town Or I would try to get the guys together. I hope one of the other guys will set something up while you are here.
Let us know when you are coming back and I'll try to work something out.
