Went to Cars and Coffee in Irvine yesterday, enjoy the pics

Totally forgot about this thread.











Got enough tire?

charliemike

I'm so jealous of California. I never see cars like this here in DC.

65 Fury Convert

Nothing like this in Wisconsin either. Over here it's your typical 60's and 70's classic cars only, shown by their 60 and 70 year old vintage car owners with Beach Boy music blaring in the background. Not having year round warm weather doesn't help.

That is definitely an awesome car show

Awesome photos and great cars.



Hmm, "losen"/remove?

Holymoly so-cal representing, beautiful looking cars.

Yeah, when I lived in Chicago there wasn't a lot going on. Maybe three months a year people took their vettes out.

Austin, on the other hand, has some great driving roads nearby so you see the occasional awesome car in the right neighborhoods.

How did the Scirocco get into the States? Mexico?

VR1

I'm not sure exactly, but it was at SEMA. It also has 565hp (It's a HPA car). 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. I believe HPA imported 10 to it's shop in Canada, 10 miles from the US border.

00TL-P3.2

^^Just realized this was in TX (assuming Houston) was this at Uptown Park in the Galleria? I keep meaning to try & make it out to one of these.

VR1

Yup this is Coffee and Cars Houston. I think it used to be in the Uptown park area, but for the last two years (atleast) it's been at vintage park (off Loueta @ 249). 110 Vintage Park Blvd. Houston TX 77070

I'm just jealous of the great weather.

Rick_TL-S

Possibly. There's a DFW owner with a Focus RS that runs Mexico plates. Car is rarely seen out, though.

00TL-P3.2

Even closer. I'm just south of the Woodlands.

Except the next day we dropped into the 20s. Something like a nearly 60* swing in around 24hrs.
Had a nice sheet of ice on my car this morning & was walking around in shorts just 3 days ago.

iTrader: (5)

Steven, I think that takes Texas out of the places you would want to relocate...

I guess California and Florida are the only 2 options left...

00TL-P3.2

It sucks, but this bi-polar weather is pretty abnormal, in the Houston area at least.
Typically, we're nearly into summer by now.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

there is a saying in the midwest, "if you dont like the weather, wait 15 minutes"...the shitty part is "if you like the weather, it changes in 15 minutes" LOL

yeah am not a fan of bipolar weather as well, but IMHO, I think the midwest (KC/STL) gets the best weather (leaving CA and FL aside)....I cant handle tooo much heat (above 100degs) and we dont get that kind of weather (not for much atleast). We get like a week (2 max) of 100 deg weather....Winter starts around Mid November and ends Mid March (4 months) out of which, its super nice for atleast a month or so...so a total of say 4 months of bad weather....

with TX, you see 3 months of 100 deg and 2 odd months of winter...so total of 5 months of bad weather....

with that said, the house prices and everything, I would move down to TX in a heartbeat LOL

VR1

You should definitely swing down then!

Stupid phone died in the middle of transfer, a few of the first ones that transferred:

charliemike

Is that an XK-R?

I need to go down to the C&C near me in Virginia. Very jealous.

Rick_TL-S

Houston C&C blows ours out of the water. I think only Irvine tops it.

VR1

It's one of the 30 XKRS GT's produced. One of my favorite cars ever.

I would love to go to either of those events.

It's only ~20mins from me. I need to really try to make it one of these days. Maybe I can catch a ride with my neighbor in his 348Spider

Rick_TL-S

Yeah, I think I'm going to make a trip down to Houston next month for this.

VR1

It's definitely worth it. But, if your coming all the way from Dallas I'd wait a bit until the next larger one. The Veyron/F40/F50 usually don't come too often, and they announce it a few days ahead of time on their FB if they're any coming. I'd reccomend going to Supercar Saturday as well which occurs after C&C ends.

A 288-GTO at a C&C get together! Wow!

It was my first time seeing a 288 GTO, and it was amazing. My second favorite behind the F40.
