I'll be out there, parking in the same area as the last couple of years. Next to the row of honey buckets.

 

Coopers is an event no one should miss. I'll be there again with my fingers crossed for another Lamborghini Miura.

 

Jack said a friend of his is special-ordering a black Speedster (supposedly the only black one they will make), and it will be there if he gets it in time. That will be a sight to see.

 

.... guess I need to push back mml a week this looks cool

 

Indeed. It is a great event. Alot of classic Bentleys and Rollers were there last year, along with a gold Dino 246, orange Miura, red 300SL (with a brand new SLS just parked feet from it), and a red 275 GTS among others.

 

I am in. Camera will be in hand.

 

Bump. Little under 2 weeks away.

 

Bump. I'll be staying in Plano this weekend to attend both this and C&C.

 

Great show with plenty of shade!

I believe Don will be organizing the Ferraris on one side of the drive, representing the FCA. Our club will be organinzing the "mixed Italians" on the other side of the drive. We will have our popup tent, chairs and some cool drinks.

I will be bringing the Fiat 500 "Prima Edizione".

 

So is this the same basic set up as last year?

I told myself last year I needed to put some feelers out there and get in tune with the community, but my shy nature held me back. I really only spent some time talking to one person (Scott, that would be you). Of course, my car at that time was mostly disassembled. Well, this year I need to try and track Don down and get some club info. I've had my car for about three years now, so past time to get involved. Looking forward to Sunday. I'm sure I'll be sporting my Ricambi America cap when I get there...

 

Anything interesting show up?

Couldn't make it out today. Currently in Houston.

 

Lots o' stuff, photos will be up later.

Lots of neat Alfa Romeos and a Lancia at this year's show were the highlights to me. Just like last year's I feel like I died 2 times in the heat. I'm not sure how many of the older participants can bear it. Great show as always, just overwhelmingly June-ish.

 

Great turn out only took one pic though did not have camera, and yes the only pic I took is mostly of my car but hey there is a great background.

Nice pictures Charles. Looks like the Ferrari section was better represented this year.

 

I was a hot one today but thankfully there were plenty of shady trees to sit under & relax.

nice photo's will

 

Can't beleive I missed each generation of the 911 Speedster.

 

great showing of fcars over the year, was nice to meet a few new folks as well. finally made it to london!

 

I thought the two 1969 Mercury Spoilers were the best looking cars there

 

Which one was yours?

 

It was interesting how completely different those two cars were. The grill/headlight areas weren't even remotely similar.

The Ford Torino convertible was one of my favorites. It was light blue with white interior.
