I was in Houston for the weekend to work our booth at Cupcake Meet. Pretty nice turnout and Houston has some really clean twins!

Can anybody recommend some fun roads to drive in the Houston area, preferably northside... I do enjoy my trips to and from work down 45/Hardy, but I'd like to find somewhere with some twisties to get the full experience.

Any help is much appreciated.

If you are interested, the Houston 86 Club is going on a Sunday drive on December 7th. You'd have to be there before 8am. Rollout is at 8am sharp pretty much.

23412 State Highway 242, New Caney, Texas 77357

This is the starting location. I don't know the route itself. There is someone else that is leading it.

Route is described only as "Lake Livingston back roads." That's quite a distance from downtown, but I'm gonna try to make it regardless.

Bummer... I'm actually going to be in Cali that weekend for a wedding, or I would definitely be down to cruise.

I'm actually familiar with a decent amount of that area out there so I wonder which roads y'all will be on... If anyone keeps a GPS with them, a map with y'alls route driven would be an awesome reference for those of us that can't make it this time!

Thanks, I love it! I use to have a '00 s2000 and this is much better for everyday driving. All the fun without the negatives of a claustrophobic 2 seater.

Definitely get it because at the price and MT it won't last long.
