2011 recap - Blokes hit the Lonestar Roundup

In March 2011 four lucky Blokes (MarkBloke, TomBloke, BrianBloke and SimonBloke) jetted off to Austin, Texas for a long weekend for the excellent and very hot Lonestar Roundup.

Where do I start?  Too many pics but here's a few:

Thursday afternoon and after way too long queuing at passport control, we pick up our rental Charger and hit the sunset strip
We grab our room in the arse-end of Austin and stroll out for some TexMex and beers, and later on take a stroll through the hotel car park.  Couple of nice motors in town for the show and we get chatting to the owners
Bright and early Friday morning and its time to scoff the entire breakfast buffet and meet up for the Garage Cruise.  We encounter a few rods along the way, we're not at work and its warm already, a good day!


We hide the Charger out back and mingle with the gathering crowd, which includes Keith Harman and a few fellow Brits.  Cruise is well organised by Mark the fireman with excellent directions and a big friendly Texan greeting
First stop seems to be an RV sales parking lot but it gives us the chance to check out some cars, all very cool







Seems I've run out of space??, more to follow
