Default Moving to Austin

Hi,

I'm moving to Austin in the next several weeks. Hope there is an active club there and a few knowledgeable LS1 shops!

If you know a club or a shop in Austin, please post! ... and THANKS!

- Greg

PS. Mine is a 2002 NBM 6-speed with 35th anniversary stripes and SLP chrome wheels ... looking forward to meeting some Austin F-Bodies.

I wish I was moving up to Austin sometime soon. You should buy a bike when you get up there. Austin is a big biking city. It's also filled with alot of lesbians.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll probably wind up at some club event when I get there. I start at Solectron on 5 July, so it'll probably be a weekend or so before I go out looking for some LS1's, but I'll be around. Wave if you see a metallic navy blue SS from Idaho. That'll me me.

Again, thanks for the friendly welcome.
