Clovers - by the Dallas West End was where it began for me...Greyhound made it a parking lot for buses...
Were any of you guys at Wings in Seagoville when we tried this a few months ago? I attended 3 of the weekly Wed. night hangouts at Wings, but it kind of died off after a month or two. I'd be up for trying it again if a place is settled on.
i did the wings deal a couple times, but Wednesday nights are my longest nights in my shop and i cant hardly miss to many of them. but im down for Friday nights if we get something figured out.
Thanks Bart, I may try to make the Dairy-ette show Sunday. I liked the Wings crowd but weekdays just don't work well for me. There is decent turnout every Thursday evening at a burger joint (I don't remember the name) in Rowlett, NE corner of Dalrock and Hwy.66.
The Burleson thing just started up a month ago. I went to both of them they have had so far. About a hundred cars there both times. It is every other Saturday evening starting about 6:00PM till ??? The next one is this coming Saturday night, it will be the 3rd one. There is no entry fees & no prizes or trophys, just a large get together of old cars. It is at Kentucky Fried Chicken on Hwy 174 in the old Walmart parking lot. Plenty of parking space! It is real similar to the I-20 & Little Road get together on Friday nights. But there are some different cars at each one. I will be going to the Burleson one this Saturday.
Thanks I will try and make is Sunday. Ran into a shock mount issue, gonna try and get that ironed out by Sunday. Nice thing is Dairy-ette is so close I could limp over
Kellers really does a good job now. I have spent quite a few Wed eve there with the OTM. If you call ahead they will ***ign you a waitress. And plenty of parking in the back. Good Burgers and the only joint I know in Dallas that serves Beer outside. You can sit at home and whine, or give 'em a shot. I'd drive in for that, infact I may stop by there on my way home tonight.
Funny story. I worked at the John Deere warehouse on Harry Hines for thirty years. Ate at least a ton of Keller burgers as they were across the parking lot from us. I still think #5 is one of the best in Dallas. The suits would come down from the North, and see us chowing down these "Killer" burgers and want to know where we got them. We would send them across the parking lot, and most of the time they would come back empty handed. " I'm not eating ANYTHING that comes from that dump!!" We always thought, "suit yourself, " I still sneak by once in awhile. "#5,no tomatoe, tater tots, and a Bud"
My car wasnt running yet but Im ready now. Dairyette, Kellers, Wings wherever, If anyone is down let me know lets get something going. It doesnt have to be the same spot everytime just something to do for a while on a friday or saturday. If they serve beer cool if not I know where to get my own . Hell I wouldnt mind just cruisin for awhile anything in the Dallas area and I will be there.
Hey Johnny Is that your truck in the avatar? I was checking it out at the Invasion I dig the hell out of that thing. My big brother has a unibody he is getting roadworthy right now hopefully it will be ready for pistons and paint. Lets cruise!
yea thats my truck, i like them to havent seen many around and im down for a cruise anytime, were u located maybe we can get something goin lol
At 14 years old my first truck was a '62 F100 SWB unibody with a 223 / 3 spd. I got so used to driving it with the front end loose that when I finally got a car with a good front end I could hardly keep it on the highway. Lots of good times in that old truck. That Kellers #5 sure looks good.
i work at a bar off little rd and 20/287 i could talk to my boss about having a car meet? it would depend on how many were down to do it?
