  • Cars & Coffee 2.16.2008

    Just another beautiful day in Paradise.


    Not one, but two Audi R8s showed up this week. Geez, these things are getting to be downright common!


    All kidding aside, this R8 was gorgeous in silver blue with a silver "blade" and cream colored interior. Very classy indeed:


    Mazda Cosmo - the original rotary engine sportscar from the company famous for them. That's something you don't see every day!



    And there are always Ferraris here. Like this beautiful Daytona...


    ...and this sweet little Dino 246 GTS.


    Of course the American iron is always present, like this stunning Buick...


    ...and this survivor DeSoto.


    Ford GTs were out in force this weekend, some were new GTs and others were recreations of the original by Superformance.



    The English car contingent was strong as always, with some rather stately models....


    ...and some a bit more sporting in nature.


    But if you really want to go fast, this is hard to beat. Porsche 917, one of the greats of LeMans. These amazing cars were good for 60mph in under 2.5 seconds and would blast the Mulsanne Straight at better than 248mph. These cars won the 24 Hours of LeMans in 1970 and 1971. (Chris, stop drooling)



    Of course I have to throw in a shot of my car and one of it's relatives:


    And last but most definitely not least, Mike Pennington's beautiful Chevy Nova. Always a crowd pleaser.

    Hahaha... What can I say; I love 917's.

    I saw the 'Hippie' 917 about six years ago and I've been hooked ever since.

    Didn't this one have a California plate on the hood? I wonder how he got that (replica?).

              Great pix Mike, and your car too I love those Crossfires. A buddy at work retired from the Sheriff's Department, we had some good laughs, older guy and he went out and bought one nice nice car, not a lick of problems with it except a minor electrical issue which was fixed easily he said.

              Thanks for sharing.

                I can't wait for the snow to melt, the roads to be swept and Cruise nights at Hebert's Candy Mansion in Shrewsbury and Riley's Roast Beef in Framingham to start again...

                  Great pics... am diggin the R8

                  I've thought many-a-time about making the run down there for C&C, but I'm just NOT a morning person & I'd have to leave pretty early. Though my neighbors all seem pretty cool with it, I try not to light up the Cobra in the wee hours of the morning.

                  Guess I'll have to settle for SuperCarSunday at Village Coffee Roasters.

                  but one of these days...
