Hi Chris
At least it was blue skies with you....the annual New Years meet at Brooklands was packed this year....grey skies and brass monkey weather too.....saw a single Charger ...excellent in Orange.....wouldn't mind one either....
Now....What's all this about not making CLM.....

Re: Portland Cars and Coffee
Missed the last few events due to bad weather...not against driving my cars in the rain, just don't see the fun standing around in a wet carpark Anyway last Saturday the kids had a classmates Birthday party held at the same location as the Cars and Coffee event:
http://www.worldofspeed.org/
I had poked my nose into the Museum afew times but had never ventured in...even though I had seen pictures of a DB4 zagato (one of my all time favourite cars) on display. Despite the DB4, the display has a very 1/4 mile, grass track, going round in circles focus, but there is a nice mix of cars, bikes and afew boats in there...and also the local tech collages use the pristine garage/workshop area as part of their studies.
As it turned out the DB4 wasn't on display anymore.....but some cool stuff was. Including the start up of ''JUNGLE JIM", 1969 nitro funny car which was truely bonkers !! If the noise didn't get you the smell certainly did, which resulted in kids with tears running down their cheeks.....good parenting 101.....but proud to say my girls stayed until the end and even asked questions
Hands down best kids Birthday party I have been to in awhile.....and I haven't even mentioned the Scalextric competition
Didn't get any pics of the Ice cream Birthday cake, but here is some cars and stuff instead...
Kids Dragsters !!

Re: Portland Cars and Coffee
Wait...Whats that in the sky?...SUN!
After afew too many rainy weekends recently, yesterday was finally dry! So headed on down with Tom ( work mate, yes I have started work ! and fellow Brit on the same wavelength ) in his uber cool 240Z ! ( more of the Nike car scene to come, the parking garage gets very varied and very cool in the summer )
Prohibition bottle detail
Random, but...small, medium, large
There is always that guy.....
Met some news friends, this sounded so good !
...and this guy lent me the rotisserie to start the Modrod build...it is all becoming full circle
Hate taking photos of your own car at these events ?...Thankfully there is alway someone there who can take a far better photo than you can...Need to get in touch with this guy !
'' WE'RE A LONG WAY FROM KANSAS TOTO"
but I like it here

Re: Portland Cars and Coffee
Change of scene over the weekend...
Portland Transmission warehouse is located in one of the 'still to be developed' areas of Portland. Once a year they put on a show which gets bigger and bigger. A few of the serious guys started to show up at 4am ! I showed up at a much more agreeable 9:30. I met up with some like minded souls and cruised on down.
The show had a distinct Americana Hotrod vibe, but Saturday morning in Glorious sunshine looking at cars was perfect.
The randomness that is THE ODD SQUAD...
