: Houston G8 Meet - Aug 29th Sat @ 6pm
BestG8 07-26-2009, 08:05 PM Just another reminder of the monthly G8 meet, as usual on the last Saturday of every month.
Date: August 29th Saturday
Time: 6pm
Location: Behind Hooter's (I45 & Nasa Road 1)
So here is what I digged up about this location. It is open to the public, meaning we can show up and hang out. Someone does put up cones to block off traffic from coming through the car show area of the parking lot, so there must be some organization for the gathering. It typically starts up at around 7pm, so it might be a good idea for us to roll up together so you can park next to each other at around 6-ish. Maybe someone can setup a meeting point before rolling up so you guys can be together for parking - just in case.
Below is a link to the parking area where it begins. Just zoom out to get an idea for the location in respect to Houston proper.

Unfortunately I will not be able to make this gathering, so PLEASE take lots of pics. LastMohican, looking forward to a nice video too :)
Have fun and stay safe. FYI - Apparently red and blue are out there waiting for someone to get stupid.
If anyone else has info about this location, or has personally been there, let us know. This gathering is suppose to be HUGE!
chrisdohse 07-27-2009, 12:19 AM count me in if im not busy and u knwo there is a meet at the fountains every sat also that we can all meet and roll into at once its usally pretty big turn out there actually lots of nice cars there and it goes from 6 to 10 and pretty good bbq there also and no hassel with the cops and u can drink ur beer in the parkin lot if u purchase from the resteraunt lmk i think it would be pretty cool to roll up 20 plus g8s to that meet in a row
chrisdohse 07-27-2009, 12:20 AM i knwo this is off topic also but anyone with cai for the g8 and wants to sell get at me asap thanks
BrentAdams646 07-27-2009, 10:38 AM I'm gonna come check this out!
TexasG8 07-27-2009, 03:15 PM I wish I could make it up there but my kids are starting school that week. I think the meet for Nov. should be a Texas G8 shootout at a track close to houston. Bracket racing so everyone would have a chance to win.
gman1227 07-28-2009, 12:04 PM ya that meet idea seem like a good one, and if you dont do that maybe a parking garage would be cool, plus the lighting would be nice, jus an idea:D
shaunfin24 07-28-2009, 02:55 PM we should have a meet somewhere downtown in the middle
Any reason to ride as my biker brother would say.
todds87ss 07-28-2009, 06:57 PM Any place where I can get a beer...or race...or both.

Hmm, drinking and racing. Doesn't sound like a good mix. :slap:
BestG8 08-02-2009, 09:04 PM BUMP!
Location set.
Check first post in this thread for details.
I will be on vacation so I will not be able to make it. I will have my laptop with WiFi access, so I will see what I have missed :(
Wow drive all the way down to Clear Lake. I used to live down that way it will be a nice visit.
chrisdohse 08-03-2009, 07:18 PM im thinking otos in stafford there is beer and maybe a race there hahaha let me know

Too far, guys. Have fun. I'll try to make the next one.

Excuses, excuses... :)
imaphaetonguy 08-13-2009, 09:14 PM Would love to go...but too far South. :(
nctexan 08-18-2009, 05:13 PM Would love to go...but too far South. :o(
It is pretty far SOuth. Why can't we agree to centralize the location and get more cars out?? That would be sweet, no?
I have to agree that I'd like something more central. The last location was nice since it had easy access to the Westheimer Rice Festival. But my brother lives down south along with a couple of friends so I'm used to going that direction.

"This gathering is suppose to be HUGE" -- SO this is a meet where just all kinds of cars show up?
BestG8 08-19-2009, 08:35 PM "This gathering is suppose to be HUGE" -- SO this is a meet where just all kinds of cars show up?
Yes, any car can show up. Hopefully enough G8's will show to represent.
BTW - we did have a "central" meet and most did not show up. We are swinging around Houston so keep an eye out for future meets. Any suggestions for a "central" location?

When you going to hit Katy? I know I'm not the only G8 in Katy. But I'm down for anywhere a reasonable distance from me.

I like your idea. Count me in for sure.
Although we have people on here who think Katy to Clear Lake is too far, so getting them to Baytown might be difficult. :driving:
gman1227 08-23-2009, 07:41 PM ok this is alot further then the last meet, if you live closer to where the last meet was we should meet there or anywhere and all drive up together? it would be pretty koo all of us rollin in together??????
what yall think????:D:D:D:D:D
That would be nice, a whole line of G8s going down South. I'd be willing to bet the ricers and pony flybys would be too numerous to count.

Oh that sucks. I'm likely coming from Pearland airport depending on when I get back. I'll have to check that out. I'll pm you my number and throw you a text later.
edit- is anyone going early to do some grubbin or no? I might roll in about 5 to get some wings and refreshments.

G8addict 08-31-2009, 08:29 AM Didn't make it either, had to work. Big rollout of new HR timetracking system. :(
Anyways, anyone that took some good pics, please post em.
G8addict 09-01-2009, 07:52 AM any pics of this meet
So did no one go or did no one take pics? or both?
I saw some people with cameras but they could have been people looking at cars. I don't recall any of the guys I saw as having cameras.

G8addict 09-01-2009, 10:39 PM i was not there due to some ass holes egged my car and had to take it in to paint i now have my rifle waiting for them bastards now so bring it
I feel your pain, I was egged on the 3rd day of owning my G8.
Some people need to learn the lesson that guarantees they never do retarded crap like that again.
GXPPilot 09-01-2009, 10:39 PM There were quite a few people there. I did not have a camera but someone else had one and posted pictures on the other site.
G8addict 09-02-2009, 07:02 AM BestG8:
Can I suggest Frank-n-Steins, Katy. (I-10 & Mason) for the next G8 meet???
roboboy 09-22-2009, 09:02 AM I'm looking at an old thread, but what's the deal with the September 26th show in Katy. I'm only 8 miles from there. Thanks. You can email me at roboboy10@sbcglobal.net.
