Cars & Coffee Thread

[Philpug]

I am not sure how many of you have local Cars & Coffee's or go to them but it is a nice divergance from your typical car clubs where everyone has variations of the same cars. It is fun seeing cars from different generations and different social groups and the best part, all talking and appreciating each others cars. These events usually happen at a local coffee shop, hence the coffee part of the title and usually on a Sunday morning. Here are some of the cars from our local one...

Who knew Wayne and Garth needed a ski car

What is a C&C without a Cobra

Uber clean 911

I hear these are pretty fast..until they are not..20 minutes?

Cool Checker Marathon

When fast is not fast enough...Nitrous and a lot of rubber to get the power to the ground

Photobombed by an R8 V10 6speed

RHD Skyline

Remember the infamous "Moose Test" Volvo's answer to Ferrari's logo

Thei 1970 Ford Crew Cab High Boy was the show stealer for me. So cool, the only think I would change would be white steely rims. Truck has been in the family since new. They ave all the build paperwork too.

I've gone to Cars and Coffee the past three months here in Omaha -- in fact I just went yesterday

 

[Philpug]

@Dave Petersen yours looks a lot cooler than ours though. Why does Omaha have such awesome cars with the straightest roads on the planet?

 

[Dave Petersen]

I don't know why Omaha has so many awesome exotics. Sometimes I think people must be transferred here from the coasts and then have excess cash since the cost of living is lower.

A Porsche 918 Spyder pulled up yesterday just as I was driving away, but I was too hot to go back and see it.

Cos the straight roads mean the average American driver is less likely to wrap them round a tree or telegraph pole so more survive?

More seriously I find Phil's collection more interesting than people showing off late model Porsches, Ferraris and Lambos.

Oh they have all eras of cars -- I just like the late model exotics.

These pictures are really awesome, but I thought this thread was going to be about cup holders.

Two weeks ago I was riding a shuttle bus and saw the most amazing blue Porsche 918 Spyder at a West Vail gas station. Yesterday for fun I googled "blue Porsche 918 Spyder" and the bottom photo popped up. Could it have been this same car??? It does have Colorado plates. It says there are only 2 in the world, and it did have these black wheels and black wing.

Did anyone crash a Mustang?

My Dad had a pretty nice car collection when he retired.

Not shown are a 67 Chevy El Camino and another Ford Fairlane Skyliner.

And right about that same time of retirement (age 76) my Dad skied for the first time. He said it was harder than he thought.

Boy, I am a car guy through and through, and....

I loved the Ford truck!

Phil, is this the Euro Sunday C&C at Starbucks in the Walmart off S Virginia? I used to go to it occasionally, will post some photo's of my old Lambo as soon as I can find them.

In high school my best friend's dad had a ford crew cab high 4x4 very much like that. Used it to pull sleds and campers.

Every other one is at the Starbucks in South Reno, I assume that one, I think this weekend's is there.

We have cars and A&W. Maybe that's a Canadian thing. Tuesday night locally.

I don't drink coffee -- I would prefer A&W!

Some picts of my '73 Lambo Espada at various C & C and drive events. Turns out I take a lot of pictures of other cars, not many of my own.

 

[TahoeCharlie]

Oh, and an engine shot. Just your old standard 4-lt quad-cam V12 with 6 dual throat sidedraft Webers.
