Cars and Coffee Irvine, Ca. 7/5/14!

[Xplantdad]

Holly and I went to Cars and Coffee in Irvine, Ca. this morning. We got there around 6:20am and we met up with my buddy Dave Lindsley(Z28DL), who brought out his 1969 L78 SS Camaro. He was just pulling in when we got there.


His car has been done for a number of years and is just beautiful. Dave is a wonderful, down to earth person and is always a gracious host whenever we meet up with him.

We also met Ken Maisano, who brought out his unrestored 1969 Z28 Camaro.Ken, it was a pleasure to meet you...and your car is really nice. Ken also brought out a GSX for everyone to enjoy as well.

NovaJoe was there, too...along with Mark Sheppard and Dana Hurt! Finally, Mike Greenawalt made the trek from AZ (a Pavilions regular)by way of Dana Point this morning, too!

We were supposed to meet up with James B (jbsides)and Mark S. (MSSL72)-but somehow we missed each other? The group ended up closing down the place...even the janitoral crew was gone before we were done <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Thanks to all who made it out or even attempted to make it out for the get together. We'll have to this again over Thanksgiving. I will try and be more organized.

Enjoy the pics that I took. There were TONS of cars there. I was just too busy talking!

Dave's beautiful L78...Wow, just wow!

Thank again to everyone for taking the tie to get together. It meant a lot to Holly and I <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[Postsedan]

Great coverage and great car owners <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif the cars are nice too.

[Dave Rifkin]

Great cars; I remember a post a while back that included a sound clip of Joe's Nova; man does that thing sound nice.

[Tracker1]

A Nickey-delivered L78 Nova? Pretty cool. Thanks for the pics Bruce, great cars.

Enderly tomorrow guys(and gals)!Tom

[mssl72]

Bruce! I was there! I had a slightly late start and got there about 7 am. It was a little distracting right away with the cars and I had to stop for coffee and doughnut. Then the new Z28 was there and I stopped to look at that. I did meet up with Ken and saw his survivor '69Z. He was getting ready to go. I asked about you guys and he said you had already swung by. That was about 8:15 and by 8:30 it was already starting to thin out car wise. I hung around by Mark Sheppards Nova figuring he might show up. Then I remembered about my Nova restraining order and I had to move away from it. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif About 9am I kinda thought you guys might have already left. So I headed out. Next time I'll have to get there earlier and now that I know where the place is. Now that I see that group shot I'll have a better idea of who to keep an eye out for next time. Sorry we didn't sync up. Here's a few pics I took.

Great seeing you and Holly, Bruce. Always a pleasure talking and catching up on &quot;stuff.&quot; I really did want to leave a couple black streaks today when I left, <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif, but I know I would probably be banned for life at that venue!!! Take care and have a safe trip back home.

[Xplantdad]

Mark...sorry that we missed you. I figured that you knew Dave Lindsley already and had his number. That's my fault. I should have given you and James my cell number. We'll do this again come Thanksgiving time...if you are up for it!

[Xplantdad]

Joe...we had a blast...regardless!

Good stuff! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/BruceRocks.gif

Had a great time meeting up with Bruce, Holly and the rest of the boys today. We were there till 10:30 today with Joe's and Mark's Novas and my Camaro being the only 3 cars still in the parking lot. We'll need to meet up more often.

I like the small window chevy truck. Pretty rare and most people overlook them. Very cool

[KenMaisano]

It was really great meeting some of you guys. The Yellow Boss 351 is my friends Dan. He is the original owner. I built the motor for him back in 2002. These are fun cars, I've had three of them. One with just a blueprinted motor and headers with DOT tires. I would run 12.60 all day long at the old Carlsbad track.

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #3333FF">Uh, just for the &quot;record&quot;, I know the guy who owns this Nova. He would tell you it's just a &quot;tribute&quot; car. I think the placard that he shows with the car states as much. It started out as a 6-cylinder car and ended up pretty cool if you ask me!!
