Well, since Doug didn’t make it to Cars and Coffee last Saturday, I figured I’d post pix he could possibly have taken if he had.

I wonder what kind of car this is?

When an apprentice vibrator just isn’t good enough.

This thing always had a crowd around it.

It’s a French made, <span style="font-style: italic">extremely</span> nicely crafted, replica?, reimagined?, whatever, Porsche 550. But it’s a gullwing coupe rather than a spyder.

Why the heck they’d put a roof on one of history’s greatest spyders is beyond me. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the Brits buy more convertibles than the French, Germans and Spanish <span style="font-style: italic">combined</span>.

God yes. The E type is still incredible. "The greatest crumpet collector known to man."

If my dad had been a few inches shorter, he would have fit in one, and that's what I'd be restoring now.
 
I dunno, I love E types, work on them all the time... but please just give me the Ghibli. Bad*ssery on the hoof.
 
That took some nerve to park those Jeeps like that.
I like that Porsche based car.
I'm gonna post Watkins pics as soon as I can get them on the 'puter.
Great show. Thanks for sharing.
 
Jeeps humping, eh?

I liked the vibrator one... but I might have thought it was manufactured by the K-Y company, not the K-W Co. :laugh:
 
I think the jeep parking is pure skill! No comment on the vibrator but I did get the humour. All in all great pics. I love a cars/coffee event. I know you all might find it hard to believe but Agatha doesn't do shows anymore. We just want to have fun! :driving:
 
That’s the great thing about Cars & Coffee, it’s all about hanging out and having fun. It’s not a show. It’s a gathering.

You just drive up, park and wander around checking out all the other cars. There’s no judging or prizes or anything. You mill about for a while, maybe have a cup’pa joe and a donut, and then wander off.

Sure.....rub it in....I thought that I'd be pushing it,
if I told my Wife that I wanted to attend.Still wish I could've
made it.
I'm sure that i know the owner of the Cortina.

I just wish we had interesting cars like that here, there is/was a local who had a RHD Model T bread van (first photo), but older exotics barely exist up here, all the rich people up here tend to buy all the new exotics and frankly they bore me compared to the older stuff...

And I rarely see a Cortina, although there is one local man who owns a genuine Mk 2 Lotus Cortina and goes to lots of local shows, apparently there were limited sales of them here in Canada in the late 60's, a car he purchased from Saskatchewan where it was sold new...
