Well my father-in-law wanted to go to Cars and Coffee before going home to Dallas, since he'd never been to the meet. TWIST MY ARM! My mother-in-law kept my youngest kiddo and Misty was asleep. Away we go! My Dad came over and my father-in-law, my Dad, my oldest kiddo Eddie and I piled into the Roady wagon and headed out to Leander at 10am. Some neat cars! Many new ones and some cool surprises. Here we go: Enterence to show. This shows reccomended hill-country cruising roads for after the show. Neat! We got to the show and they had us park with the new Acuras (?). Oh well, it was a good spot right up front. The first car I saw was this gorgeous Regal T-type. I love these. It's a Grand National and a Regal Limited mixed together. Turbo engine, suspension, boost gauge, and steering wheel mixed with pillowed leather seats. Such a neat car! This 64 Vette was also GOREGEOUS A buddy from work, Eddie "Fast Eddie" Reyes came out in his black Vette This was a CLEAN C3 Vette This new Vette was also a looker The Z-car club was there This is a CLEAN 74 Cheyenne Super. This guy is a regular at the Satuday Cruise-In's and when I got my new stock chrome GM air cleaner lid for my Cutlass I gave him my old one. He loves it and it looks good under there! The 442's were out in force today
Really pretty T-Bird Clean Corvair Fun at the show! Friend from my local club came out in his 80's Iroc-Z powered Nova The Porsche club was there again I still like 928's And there were a TON of VW's there today This AMG Mercedes was all engine SHARP new Camaro Bentley Coupe Aston Martin Jaguar E-Type Roadster
Maserati - My Dad LOVED this car The Chevy 427-engined Porsche was there Lotus Esprit. Wonder if it turns into a submarine? 70 Chevelles Wild Ducati Unrestored Original Chevy Gorgeous Caddy ragtop Mitch came and stole his 76 from my carport. Trans is still leaking but it did fine and got lots of attention! Looked right at home with the other classic Caddys

For Crovo, a hot-rod Subie THIS MADE MY DAY! Laird showed up in my old Citation X-11. He's got it running great, and looking good too! He was mad though, they had him park it by the dumpster! Doh! No Respect! I was tickled to see it there and it got a lot of attention! Shelby GT Mustang Local Ford group Couple sharp Stangs Brand new Stang This was neat.

Demon Cool Willy's Jeep The modern GTO club showed up Great License Plate I took a lot of pics of this Brazen Orange GTO for my buddy Ben that has the Sprice Red GTO in Jersey. GTO's were not offered with sunroofs, but this one has a dealer-installed Webasto power roof. Sorry for there being so many. It looked awesome. This guy was really cool, we talked for a while. Did you know of the 42,000 GTO's made between 04-06, that 17,000 have been totaled? No joke! That's wild!
The Can Am bike group showed up too Clean C4 Vette 69 Chevelle SS Hey I know that car 60's Dodge and 69 Chevelle Just hanging out Baja Bug New Lotus Clean 53 Chevy Was a fun show today! Hope you liked the pics, -Mike
Sorry I know I get carried away with the camera sometimes. Glad you liked the pics. I know there's cool cars all over the country. I've lived all over the place growing up. The cool thing about Austin is people really get out and DRIVE them...a LOT! The other morning on the way to work I go passed by a blue 1970 Superbird. That never once happend when I lived in New Jersey. I really like my co-worker's new commuter car. They've driving it to work daily for the past two weeks. Beats the crap out of any Toyota or Honda I can think of! Who cares about $4 gas when you have an original unrestored 1971 442 waiting for you after work in the parking lot!! Took the pics with my phone, they kinda suck, sorry, but you get the idea. -Mike
Cool pics, but you missed Clark Gable's Auburn Speedster. I need to make it down sometime for one of these.
