The only thing we were missing was a 2nd Gen. It was great meeting everyone, I'm 70% sure I'll be back next month

Guys, I wish that I could have made it. Being back to work on second shift is killing me. But, $25 bucks an hour kinda makes up for it. I need to get the FB out more. I would like to try and make it to the next event.

The lambo wasn't the most exotic car there. This meet has a ton of unique cars at it. I'll post
some of my pictures later.

Tim. I believe that we should possibly consider having next month's meet there.

Speaking of which. This month's meet will fall on Mother's Day. So what's the plan guys?

A meet at the C&C would be cool.

As for as the next one, either do it Sunday or push it off a week.

+1 for meet at C&C. Also, that way if no one shows up you aren't left stranded with nothing to do, you'd still be surrounded by car enthusiasts, and beautiful cars at that.

I've gone to the one in Charlotte many times...GTR's, supras, lambos, ferrari's, you name it, its pretty much there. Lots of fun!

This was my first time going to Cars and Coffee and I had an awesome time. It seemed like a good turnout. I was driving my dad's black '67 442. What time are you supposed to get there? I showed up at 9 and there was already people leaving.

wow. that's an impressive engineering achievement. I still think a turbo busa may walk it in a mile for a fraction of the price. Those busa's are touching 600rwhp these days, that's just nuts.

Its one hell of a machine that's for sure. the 400 pounds of torque would be insane. Be prepared to stroke the checkbook....the guy said it right

With my street-porting, and Josh's assembly, that thing should be a contender!!!!!

As far as the Turbine powered motorcycle, lets not forget. It's not about the horsepower, but the torque.

The porting turned out great. Not sure what the 1.8 with the 720/720 will be good for though. when i get a job and can afford an ems with larger injectors it should be decent. i think as it is with the bnr it should be a nice combo

well Its been a while since I have been on here. For those of you who didn't know, I lost my brother to diabetes on Thursday. Been hard to do anything but get the services together, and console the rest of the family. I haven't dealt with anything like this before, so its been a struggle. Thanks to Sam, he got me in a better place since he just had a similar situation not to long ago happen to him. If everyone can keep the family in there prayers, that would be greatly appreciated. My brother was a good man, and only 33 he still had a lot to offer, but at least he no longer is in pain. He left me his car in the will, and even though that's what he wanted, I still would rather have him instead. I took him to purchase the car on monday, picked it up on tuesday, and he passed on thursday. He must have known something was wrong, because between Tuesday, and Thursday morning, he made the time to update his will. He will be missed by many. Josh requested a pic or two of the car, so here they are. Also I wanna thank Edgar, and Stephanie, for having me and Nancy down for a couple of days to help clear out heads. Sometimes when things like this happen, you need to step away for a second, and re-think your life. It's defiantly a life changing situation for me, and my family

Thanks manny, i appreciate the invite. Yes, after the car is repainted, it will be a garage queen. She's high millage, but the condition is like no other I have seen as far as a survivor. It's one of the ETA engines. It's a 2.7 inline six it makes a funny 121 hp but 220 ft. lbs. the best part is she's rated at 32 mpg on highway. Im gonna bring her to the meet when I come. My brother would love that.

So sad to hear about your brother Andre. Our thoughts go out to you and your family.

Thats a nice looking E36. Doesn't look like it needs any paint but its hard to tell. Bring it out to
the cars and coffee in June.
