Cars and Coffee Irvine, Ca at Christmas 2009

[Xplantdad]

I went to Cars and Coffee in Irvine this morning and had a great time. I met up with Dave Lindsley, Mark Sheppard, Nova Joe (Joe C.) and Dave introduced me to a bunch of his friends as well. My brother Gary and his son Taylor showed up as well!

Great to see everyone http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Dave Lindsley tried to get me to drive his 427 Biscayne....but I convinced Mark Sheppard to do it instead http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Dave took these pictures of us driving his car! Thanks Dave!

Here's Dave Lindsley's electronic exhaust cutouts in action.

Dave's car is soooooo Day two...with the narrow front tires...the slicks in back and the tow tabs! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

[Xplantdad]

Finally...I have to thank Joe C. (69novajoe) for the wonderful ride in his Nova. Holy cow...with the 4.88's, his car gets with it, that's for sure.

Here's a really short clip....as I was holding on for dear life the rest of the time (while grinning ear to ear)

Next time we'll use the GoPro...

[Xplantdad]

Thank you Dave for being such a gracious host...and thanks to Mark Sheppard and Joe C. for coming down as well!

I enjoyed the rides in all 3 cars (the silver Nova, the L72 and Mark gave me a ride ot my truck when it was time to leave in his L78 Nova)! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Bruce,

You could be a Chicago Cubs announcer....."Holy Cow!" LOL.

This was my kind of a Christmas party! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Very nice of you to extend the offer to Mark to drive Daves Biscayne.....I would have not done the same. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Dave,

You look like a little kid at Christmas showing off your exhaust ring tones. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

That blue Biscayne is really doin' it for me! Looks like it'd be a lot fun to slip behind the wheel of that Behemoth!

[Bill Rose]

You guys are havin way too much fun for Dec 26th.... and where's the snow??

[Z28DL]

Bruce,
Always a pleasure hangin out with you. I'm glad Joe and Mark showed up with their awesome cars. Thanks for posting some pictures of the Biscayne. It's still a bit rough but my most fun car to drive. The seats are next now that I found the correct fabric/vinyl. I'll be seeing you and all of my Arizona friends at Barret-Jackson's in January! Sorry, I didn't get to see Lynn and Holly.
Later Buddy,

very nice.. Quite a difference then us with 20" snow on the ground(but melting fast today).. around here the coffee and cars events are usually the Euro exotics and us American iron people are shunned upon.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

[92646]

It was great seeing Bruce, Joe and Dave this morning. As usual I was running late but at least it was a little warmer by the time I got there. This was the first time I took my nova out in awhile but it fired right up and drove great. Talk about a kid in a candy shop driving Dave's L72 biscyane. I thought it would steer like a truck with the manual steering and being a big car but I was wrong and the power is so nice. Boy there is such a difference between Dave's L72 427 and my L78 396. I think I am going to order a set of 15x7 & 15x4.5 5-spokes for my car to make it steer better. I can not wait to see Dave's black 69 L78 nova when it gets done. His idea of a driver is my idea of perfection so I can only guess what level he will take this car to.
Mark Sheppard

['69Novajoe]

Hey guys, it was good seeing you all. A bit nippy, but I can't complain, what with all those "hot" cars around us!! Love the Biscayne Dave. We'll have to trade rides sometime. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif Happy New Year to one and all. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/youguysrock.gif

Hey Mark and Bruce, you were caught in the act --
http://public.fotki.com/wackydave/cruise_nights/cruise-nights-2009/12-26-09-cars--coffee/page3.html
You look a little scared Mark!!

[92646]

I was afraid of myself. I kept thinking if I nail the throttle will they let me come back eventually and if I make a run for the exit did I ever give Dave my home address and what will I do with Bruce. A lot of thought went into that short drive.

[Xplantdad]

Great stuff! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif
