August Cars Coffee on High Street

Summer months are a little slower, still, at one point there were more cars coming in waiting for parking spots. It gets crazy as soon as the weather cools down and the snowbirds return.

First, some MBs that showed up:

















Some "Upscales" - A New DBS, an MC20 showed up. The One-77 is a repeat but worth it given its rarity.





































Noticeably different this month was the noise. There were cars coming in sporting parachutes, full slicks, open exhausts, etc. Lots of BIG motors so some pics of those:














Finally, the "Fruit Basket" mixture of "stuff" with the lifted truck taking it this month. Cars were driving by and there was daylight between the roofs and the truck's undercarriage.

Funny, each month I have more pics than I can post BC of house rules. This month I started with 59 but only allowed to post 40, so I always have to go back and edit out to 40. I still try not to post dups from month to month as many repeat. But there are always new cars showing up each month too.

All the Best,

Yes, I agree. The car did not have plates on it. I saw him pull in and he started a conversation with a couple of guys right away and I couldn't interrupt. He said he just got the car. By the shape of the wheels/brakes the car has been driven and not just to the CC. There was no temp plate on the car either.

He could have this as a dedicated track car. Personally, it is a shame for me to own a car so equipped and drive it as a garage queen which is one reason I didn't want to go the GTR/PRO route as I know I'd never have my car on a track. Very good to see it being used for its build intentions.

Yeah, it's an awesome car. There were three of them there if my memory serves. I couldn't post them all BC I ran out of post space so I only photoed one. It is a pricey little sucker, for sure.

Always great photos from this event, thanks @Acta_Non_Verba . It would be nice to have some captions to help the less knowledgeable (I am one) identify the less common vehicles. I get it - takes time. But would be appreciated.

Love the Ferraris, Bentleys and Rollers.

Best,

Hi Chassis,

After your comments and after I reviewed what I had posted I found one car that might have caught some off guard, so I thought I'd add a little for those curious.

This car:




This is actually a kit car. They usually fit over an Infiniti. I didn't talk to the owner so I don't know the details.

Very cool! Thanks. The One-77 also went past me, so I had to look it up. Fun looking event.

Looks like a great event - lots of rare cars too...A black GTR Pro (they are ALWAYS siver or magno grey), a Bentley GT Supersports (rare to see a real one), and many others. Nice to see a couple of F8s too. I was at Monterey Car Week last year attending Concourse Italiano and not a single F8 or SF90...very disappointing!

just pay $$$ for entry to find all of that (in your picture) gone and the highlight in the Ferrari camp was a diamond crusted 458...there was an F40 to be fair that's about it. Way more fun driving in town and watching some of the impromptu stuff show up.
