Cars & Coffee Irvine 02-24-07

Unfortunately I showed up pretty late so I didn't have much time to take pics.....

A lot of nice 356s and 912s showed up.



Nice 356....crappy picture



Doug's RSR



This car is literally my car's twin down to the flag mirrors.....



Hmm believe the plate

Do you have more pics of the Pantera? I just picked up a (banana yellow) '74 and seeking paint ideas:

[WPOZZZ]

Nice 74 Danny! My brother has a 72 from Pantera Intl. Actually, that plate is believeable as my brother's car is at 550hp.

[BlueSideUp]

Sorry Danny but all I have are pics from the back and the engine compartment. Hopefully someone else had more time to take pics.

It's fairly easy/inexpensive (vs. Porsche) to squeeze HP out of these motors.

No problem. Thanks.

Here's the only other pic. I'm sure those bottles are fun!

[Danny_Ocean]

Schweet...

But what's that motor? Ain't no 351C... ?

[BlueSideUp]

Not sure, I could get a bigger pic if that would help identify it.


Here's another bad pic of a nice 911

[450knotOffice]

That's Chris Maneh's car (84porsche here on Pelican). You may remember him from when you met us at the Starbucks on Ortega a bit over a month ago.

Thanks for the pics.

Seeing those pics reminds me that Hawaii is not the paradise I want it to be :*(

Why don't U put a REAL MOTOR in that Hotel for Rust that U own? Just a spare 25K will buy U this...a standard bore 427 Center Oiler...thats all ORGINAL parts with the exception of Crank, those *****y Lemans valve covers and aircleaner cover... Or does REALLY going FAST scare U.

[BlueSideUp]

Scott- I did recognize the car but I couldn't remember his name, I remember you hassling him about the size of his tires! Is he the guy that kind of looks like Dave Atell?

[oceanvue]

Darn, I missed it. I would have liked to go and check out the cars. It wasn't on my event calender. How do I find out when they do it again and who sponsored?

It happens EVERY Saturday morning at the Ford Building close to the Alton off ramp at the 5 frwy in Irvine.

Ha Ha! Yea, that would be him! I never really noticed that, but you're right. He does kind of look like that guy.

Yeah...a 427 is on my list of mods. My 351C was rebuilt only 6k mi. ago (@ 450 hp). Gotta wait for it to wear out/blow before I can justify a new motor.

Now you have me thinking, I might have to grow my beard out like that. Scott, is always hassling me about the tires. But then again, we are all known for something. Although, Alex doesn't leak oil anymore, he is going to need a new title. Nice pix BTW.

[84porsche]

I forgot I took a few pix last weekend as well, here is one my favorites that was there last weekend.

[BlueSideUp]

Oh yeah that guy had the two Dachsund guard dogs tied to the front tow hook.

I may go this Saturday but I'll be there pretty early, I to be in Aliso Viejo at 8am.

Chris what was the nickname for Alex? The "oiler" or something like that?
