PICS! Cars and Coffee Austin (Leander) TX 4/3/11

Way Way WAY too many pics to post here, so I'm doing the old "jump to the Longroof forum" link below.

GREAT time and worth a look. Took the Roady wagon, the 79 Buick Limited and my 88 Cutlass. Neat to have them all there.

Also met our friends from the U.K. from this forum. I was kinda running all over, sure wish we'd had more time to visit!

Anyway here is the link. Enjoy the pics!

Other folks pulling in:




This was really cool. Met these folks through the Station Wagon Forum. They're from the UK, and he had G-body wagons and has a Riviera. They are visiting the US and staying in the hill country out in Llano. Sadly with all my running around we really didn't get to talk long, but it was really nice to meet them!

Ok, ready for this....this is the all-new and very rare Lexus LFA "Supercar". It was very impressive, it had a WILD exhaust note...and then I heard the price. The list price is $375,000...but THIS one has a $75K markup....and was listed at $450,000. I just can't get my head around a $450K Toyota....






And this was parked just down from the Lexus LFA. The fact that I remember cars like this is what keeps me from taking a $450K Toyota seriously...

I seen a video on you tube of a red GTO leaving there yesterday doing a burn out lost control and hit a tree.I didn't know how to post a link on here but it was titled "GTO Burn-out Fail at Houston's Cars and Coffee" Someone caught it on film and said over the last few years it has been moved a couple of times because of a few bad incidents.

 

I think the Cars and Coffee in Houston no longer meets...not sure.

There is a much bigger meet in Dallas than we have here in Austin. They actually have several of these cruise-in's all over the country.

Here's the link: http://usa.carsandcoffee.info/

If there is one close to you, go. They're awesome!

If I would have read the title I would have seen you were in a diffrent city If you get a chance check out that video anyway on you tube.I know he must of felt like a a#*

 

Eye candy sugar high. Thanks for posting, dam that was great!!
