A TON OF PICS!! Cars and Coffee Austin Today 2/6/11

Well I was concerned that with the Superbowl there would not be a good showing at Cars and Coffee today...but OH MAN WAS I WRONG! This was the BIGGEST Cars and Coffee so far. I think after the snow shut the town down on Friday people were just dying to get out. Temps in the upper 60's to low 70's, huge blue sky, man it's a really pretty day today....sorry Crovo.

Dad had cleaned up my Roadmaster yesterday and volunteered to drive it too, so we took both the Cutlass and the Roady wagon to the show. Such fun! Both got tons of attention, such fun!

I want to first say if you are on dial-up, you may want to give up now. Eddie, Dad and I took a TON of pics and I'm downloading them all. Also, we did go to the Austin Swap-Meet at the VFW after Cars and Coffee,but I'll post those pics in another thread, there are not nearly as many, was just a small swap meet.

The sheer amount of odd an awesome cars at these events is staggering. It's heaven for a car nut like me!

On with the Cars and Coffee pics!

Dad, Eddie and I loading the Cutlass and Roady up at my house to head to Cars and Coffee in Leander Texas



And heading out, me in the Cutty and Dad in the Roady. Part of the drive is on the highway and part of it is on a great 2-lane twist country road. It's about 25-mins from my house to Leander.

Wait up Dad! The 307 is giving all she has!!

Caught him!

Oh and I think I've converted a few non-believers to the wagon faith now! HAHAHA!

I was gonna say something about a few of the cars, but I forgot what they were by the time I got to the end...

Looks like fun.

Jealous.

So much awesome contained in one thread. My head asploded.

Mike do you want to adopt an older much better looking brother?You guys definitely know how to
have a great time.Sure would love to find out more info about that induction system on that big
block Chevelle.I know its a very rare and unusual fuel injection system with dual sidedraft injectors.
Never seen a setup like that before.
As Always Awesome Mike
Take Care

While you were in the sun attending this nice car show/cruise, yesterday I cruised Woodward ave in Detroit with my GF, in her Mini Cooper. It was snowing and there was like 3" of snow on the road, the mini has traction issues...

Anyways as I was cruising woodward ave in the middle of a snow storm I was pissed off that my video camera was in my wagon at the GF's place...

Would have made a cool video, could have called it Dreaming of the Woodward Dream Cruise.... actually did see a rusty 67 442 with slushed up craigars....

Yeah we kinda got carried away with the pics. I felt like Mr. Wang from Caddyshack. ; )

Despite the weather, I'm jealous you can say you've cruised Woodward. I can't! But will someday!
