Cars and Coffee

Back to Great Falls Cars and Coffee this morning. Speedycop of LeMons fame was there; nice guy, let my kid sit in the sideways Bus race car.

Lots of Porsches, a few different Lamborghinis and Ferraris, but fuck all that shit. Check out this old Syncro! And this Holden badged Chevy SS.

Wow I can't believe THAT many people wake up so early

Am I the only who likes to sleep late on the weekends

It does look pretty cool ... what is the story with that car in its side ?

Edit: upon a closer look I see what it is and just read your comments above

Here's a Jalopnik story on it, complete with video.

My kids still wake up at 6 most days, so we're usually up anyway...

Are they young kids ? Mine are like undefined's kids and sleep very late though they are all teenagers.

Btw thanks for the link that bus/car is pretty cool.

Went back to C and C today. Place was lousy with McLarens—I saw four or five of them. Plus another accident; a Jeep SRT8 hit a van. Are there accidents every weekend? Or just when I go?

Anyway, here’s some interesting stuff:


Brown McLaren.


RHD Nissan Cedric.


LFA.


356 with lots of patina.


Holy crap the 550 Spyder is small.

911R

I still haven’t bought one of these

6 cyl E21

47 Ford

Insert Robin Masters joke

Supra is smaller, more dramatic, and much uglier in person

purple Corrado next to an M2

Im not a bike guy but this is cool

and check out how the gauges sweep!

That's a really cool Speedster.

And yes, the 550 is tiny. There was one at the C&C in Scottsdale when I last went (a few years ago now... Damn I miss being there...).
