Central Texas Chapter needed?

[Rmichael1]

Okay, let's see if this thread title gets more response. Do we need our own central Texas chapter? Round Rock, Austin, Georgetown, Pflugerville? Well?

Well we have several cars in The Belton, Temple Texas area. I am sure some would be interested in a club, I know I would.

I don't know about those Pflugerville folks...

As of this writing, the poll is closed so I can't officially vote. But I do believe the area should have a Smart Car Club. Just need to assemble a varied mix of activities.

Cheers,

I'm also all for a CenTex chapter. I need smart people to do smart things with.

We're having another meeting in early September. Eddie.Vandermark has posted a thread with all of the pertinent info. Please come out and join us if you can! All input is welcome!

well i have a 'car club' and its for custom show cars and trucks. i would be interested in having everyone join....but i like having people around who have custom cars...i mean some paint or body or wheels or stereo mods would be cool. but i do it for the shows...last show ' heatwave' no one was there. i guess what i'm getting at is that i want custom cars in the club, i'm not to fond of just a social gathering club. to me thats kinda lame. i hope i dont ruffle anyones feathers but if you look at the number of people who look at the postings and just read them but not reply...the numbers are preety high. if there are that many people watching the posts but not posting ...you gota wander what kind of a following your asking for?

I think, mycavs00n04, that making the club open to people who customize their cars in some way is exceptionally limiting. The smart community is small enough that if you place further restrictions you're making it even harder to find people who are interested. Perhaps the people who are very into modifying their smarts could have a sub-chapter of the club. That way, they can tinker with their cars together, but still have an opportunity to do social or community service projects together with the whole club, if they're so inclined. I don't have the expertise or finances or interest, quite frankly, to work on Ruby, but I'd hate to miss the chance to know other smart owners, as all of my real world friends are getting rather bored at how in love with her I am.

i will try to meet up with everyone at the next meet to discuss this. i think a large club is a good thing. we could do sub-club stuff if need be. just let me know when it is.

Lexie, come on by, the more the better. As it is, we are planning to have monthly meets (on the first saturday on the month) to discuss/plan for our quarterly fun events/rallies. We also would like to do a charity event annually. I hope to see you and your friends there!

mycavs00n04, Im all for seeing some custom smarts join us. I would be right there by your side with customizing Bruno, however, being laid off and jobless for some time now, has put a huge damper into that. I think having a sub-club is a great idea, whether it be, custom exteriors, interiors, performance, sound system or whatever. Also, just because you become a member of the CenTex smart club does not prevent you from joining other customer car clubs. In fact, it just may help us because different clubs could get together for fun activities and not to mention, make charity events HUGE!!!

Also, talks have been brought up regarding a texas wide smart event to be held here in Austin. We are hoping to make this happen soon. I will be meeting with a member from the Dallas/Ft. Worth club next week to discuss some details.

Here is the info for the next meet. Just as an FYI, Septembers meeting will be post-poned one week due to Labor Day Weekend.

I would love to attended the smart meet. I have this problem called procrastination and will come up with reasons not to show up. So...when the time comes ride my @$$ and make me go because I really want to.....
