    Thanks for the compliment - that is my Alpine Renault A110. I found out about the show at 5:00 pm on Saturday. A friend suggested I take the A110. When I pulled in the organizers directed me to the "Showcase" area. Little did I know what they were talking about. Then Leno goes and ruins everything when he shows up and parks next to me, and the crowds appear (like bees to honey, or perhaps flies to ####). I received great compliments and feedback on the car. It's always great to go somewhere and be appreciated.

    BTW, how about the Tatra !!!? Great car, great driver. And Tom S. always has a gem.

    Fantastic event. I will try to do it again next year.

    The best can be found, in my humble opinion at the Nurburgring after camping out all night, just make sure to brush your teeth with Heinekin. Then follow with great German beer ! This advice also applys at Road America, Elkheart Lake and of course SPA !( substitute Stella Artois and pomes frites with the Bratwurst.

    Great photos - and thanks for getting a few of my Alpine. Stunning shots. May I save them?

    NNO - yes, I make it to Cars & Coffee periodically. Now that it is so dark and cold, though, I may wait until spring. Next time please come up and say hello. I would like to put faces to F-Chat names. We likely bump into each other in the coffee line and don't know it.

    The last time you were there, I came over very early (when it was still dark). You were wiping down the car and I said, "Nice car!" and you were very friendly. But I don't know much about Renault and I figured you wanted to finish what you were doing, so I kept moving.

    Next time I see you, I'll be sure to bug you. :)

    The time change fixed that. It's practically 80 degrees at 6AM now. Come on out.

    I might be exaggerating a bit.

    Didn't that Bugatti win Best of Show at Pebble Beach a few years ago? I remember it from there. Or is it a different one?

    So am I (exaggerating a bit). Getting up early on a dark winter morning could be worse...we could live in Chicago!

    Are you guys going to be there this Saturday? Perhaps I can convince and invite you to come by the garage afterwards....Laguna Canyon Road on the way into town.

    Count me in. I'm sure Carbon could be persuaded.

    Let's plan on a get together at my garage in Laguna Canyon after cars and coffee. We are about 1 mile from PCH on the way into town. PM me for directions. I can meet at C&C and lead the way.
