    Damn looks like some nice cars are showing up. Im guessing this is a good place to recruit a few more nice cars for all the drives you INdy guys organize up there.

    was the turn out really bad today, or did I just get there late? Got there about noon.
    I saw Webby heading north in the Lambo as I was getting off of 465, and an NSX heading south on Meridian, but not much else there.

    ha, it's not mine, it's doltmo's. You're not the first to make that mistake and I put that it's doltmo's in my profile a long time ago. I just took the picture. I'm still in college and don't have a car :(

    It usually breaks off by noon, so unfortunately you were late. Some pics from yesterday showed Gallardo, 599, assorted Lotus, Vette, 300ZXTT, GTO, NSX.

    I missed this one, went to watch the Blue Angels at the Indy Air Show.

    Saturday, June 13th!

    Weatherman says clear and high of 77! Look forward to seeing a great turnout this weekend.



    I might, I say MIGHT be bringing my car. I actually drove the car yesterday. Pulled strong up to 13psi of boost. I now have blue smog, so that means I'm burning oil. I did not pull the pistons or replace the rings on the rebuild, so I need to finish setting the timing and do a compression test to rule out the cylinders which means the 26 year old turbo has finally died. I did have some minimal shaft play in the turbo, so that is most likely it. I'm praying that is it so I don't have to rip the whole motor back apart. If it comes to that, I'm grabbing the back-up motor and overboring...there's no replacement for displacement!

    A fresh valve job without doing the rings can ampify maginal ring seal. I thought you did the bottom end too. Hope its coming thru your turbo as you do.

    I'll be at CC, prob with 308.

    The way that tracks gone, you will need some good weather, it's rough enough let alone with puddles!
    keep it on the hard black parts.

    Another friendly turnout. Weather was awesome.

    F-car: Red 308, Black 308 w/SC, Red 355 Spyder, Red F430 & Red 550.

    1965 Rambler 770 Wagon and 1964 Chevy Impala 2-door showed up to represent old school.

    Caddy CTS-V wins for most powerful Sedan present, but would have been entertaining bench racing for 4-seater with the f-car 550.

    Lotus group had a group function, so they lost out on their usual winning best represented Marque to Miata's 7. F-cars just missed a tie with 5 showing.

    I forgot to charge the camera, so limited pics taken: http://picasaweb.google.com/ZUL8TR83/CoffeeCars#

    Cars seen, but didn't stop. ~1969 Olds 442, Black Maseratti, Green Jag XK140.

    I forgot to mention a Prius broke down across the street. Unfortunately none of the f-cars had a rear tow hook. I'd have been a great shot to get the f-car pulling the Prius to the gas station. LOL!

    Weather looks to be improving and the chance of rain in the AM is gone.

    I know a number of the F-Cars will most likely be at the Moyer Jewelry event.
    Time: 10am-5pm
    Location: Moyer Fine Jewelers in Carmel at 146th Street and 31

    Since C&C is just down the road, some of us will wander up to support the F-car event after C&C.

    There is also a drive to Brown County that will be leaving from C&C for those interested.

    I will be enroute back from Paris at that time unfortunately. My son and wife might give it a go in the 308 on their own to the Moyer event.

    Have a great day!

    Bill...have a safe trip home. We'll see you next weekend.

    Weatherwoman, Angela Buckman, says the rain will be gone from Indy by 8AM!

    Thanks!

    Had a great time meeting everyone. Had a rough drive back since it looks like our AC went out sometime during the winter. Still had a blast and hope this is the first of many to come.

    Pics from the Moyers Event. I didn't win the watch....BUMMER! Thanks to the C&C guys who came out to show support! Sorry I didn't get to chat with any of you, I was too busy checking out the watch porn! :) Hopefully I'll be down to C&C in a couple weeks.

    Any of you all win the watch? Anyone stick around long enough to see which car got the people's choice?

    Probably the guy at the end of the row. He was pretty engaging and revved it a few times during the day. Ha so did jimshadow. I really wanted to stay and here the GTO leave.

    Yes Mark who had the 599 with Challenge wheels - guy who revved his motor and hood open - won the Kimster Heuer watch. As did I :)

    Great show btw, thanks to everyone who came.
