    I'm John. I have a black 4 door base, and I live on NE side.
    Post up your details... I think we could organize a meet/photo op with all the R colors.

    ^ Do you post much on EAG?
    My username is "john" on there.... just like IRL.

    We'd need white and red to round it out... not sure there is a red car in the EAG group.
    Maybe we can find one here.


    I know we have Toeball and TLud around... both with blue cars.
    I forget rejean's screen name.. I *think* his R is white.

    He is def on EAG, but I don't know him personally.
    I thought he posted some pics on here of the car.. thread title was "Another Ruined R" or something like that.

    Maybe we should take over a part of the lot with the Rs at the next EAG GTG.... or.... at the C&C the following morning.


    BTW, which one of you is behind the Houston R facebook group?
    I can't link to it at work.

    Gingaskunk, I'd love to hear your car at some point and take a ride.
    I'm not sure what I want to do to my car from here.

    Part of me wants to stay stock in the event I go BT in the future. (DP and intake can't be used)
    ~$1k+ of my stage 2.5 parts would be wasted....

    Another part of me thinks I'll likely never drop the $$ for a BT into this car, and hence I should go stage 2.5 ASAP.



    Maybe a ride in a stage 2.5 car will help sway me one way or the other.

    It looks like 8 of us have chimed in here.

    +

    Toeball
    TLud
    Rejean
    who else??

    Given how spread out Houston is, I'm not surprised we don't see each other in passing too often. Toeball and I live in the same area, and I have never seen him unless we had planned to meet.

    Hello everyone, another Houston R owner checking in. Picked it up on Aug. 10th and I absolutely love the car. I've been modding and racing (a little) Mazda RX-7's for about 10 years now and I'm looking forward to doing the same with my new toy. Also looking forward to meeting some fellow locals.

    Good evening! My name is Griffin. I live in west Houston. Picked up a loaded 4-door rising blue earlier this month. After selling my 2004 R32 (with regret) and driving an Infiniti G35 for the last 4 years, I am happy to return to VW. The G was a nice ride. The R is something entirely different.
