Cars and Coffee 10-15-11

christian370z

I was able to come down to Newport for the weekend and that meant an obligatory Cars and Coffee run with with my Saab friend Jeff had to be made. Turnout today wasn't as plentiful as it normally is so there was plenty of parking, but the caliber of cars was still very high. There were some very interesting rides that came, in good ways and in decidedly bad ways but you can be the judge. Also, I finally got to see Jeff's beautifully refinished wheels for his SPG and good God does it look awesome.


Onto pictures. Jeff's wheels:









Speedsters were out in force as always:





A wicked Pantera, more on this car later:





This was one of our favorites of the day, a spectacularly restored E-type Jaguar:







A gorgeous GT40 with individual throttle bodies:






The car club that was hosted was the Tiger/Sprite:





A Ford Touring Type, this particular car was literally the 10 millionth Ford vehicle. You're talking big money value on this car:






As always, there were plenty of Porsches, including some 993s which are my favorite generation.







A mean sounding M5 with a Dinan exhaust and RPI intake scoops:





Miata, Viper, Quattroporte. Plenty of variety.





One of Jeff's favorites of the day, a caged 944 Turbo:





A crazy crazy Van build for wheel stands, another is picture later in the thread:










My friend gave me a ride in his red E30 M3, what a fun car:








The New Beetle, it is definitely a big step up from the last generation which was absolutely atrocious in every way.







This Miata was not in the greatest of shape





190SLs:






A very clean wingless EVO, the color was beautiful in person:





Another 370Z, with a healthy drop and MRworks modded headlights. Is this anyone on here?









A menacing Boss, it's a shame all the ones for sale in Socal have $10-20k dealer markups.








The grossest car out there, what a shame. This car is ruined:





And the hat shamelessly covering the tiptronic transmission, just like last time:









This Maxima was driving up and down each lane, trolling hard:





Laughed at the plate, great way to advertise your convertible for sale:






And our leaky car of the day was this spectacular Ferrari. Major oil dump, the drain plug apparently fell off and every spec of oil emptied into the parking lot:






Then my absolute dream car showed up, instantly drawing a huge crowd. Every single curve and line on this car is perfect:
