Wondering if any of you in the So-Cal area have taken your K car to this event. I just heard about it watching an episode of Chasing Classic Cars on Velocity. Turns out there is one in the northeast, but it is still 5 hours from me in the Hudson Valley are of So-NY (LOL) and it only happens once a month instead of every Saturday like in Cali. I will have to try and make it if I ever get out there with my K wagon.

And for anyone in the northeast.....maybe I'll catch you at Lime Rock Park this Saturday (April 13th). Turns out there is a huge show and shine (cars, truck, bikes, etc) at the raceway this weekend. It is a 1st time event to benefit those affected by the Sandy Hook tragedy. Gonna try and get there with my 72 Suburban C20. Haven't decided if I want to bring my Honda CB350 on the back yet or not. It's an 8 hour round trip for me (4.10 gears and no overdrive). Contrary to popular conception, the car culture is HUGE in Maine. But I still want a change of pace from the normal haunts and to see a few new cars.

here's my dad's 72 Suburban 2wd 1/2 ton custom deluxe "highlander" waiting for the ferry up in Canada (going to Prince Edward Island?) in 1985.....and you might recognize the camper from above....1971 Holiday Trav'ler.

and since this is a K car website, check out a picture of my parents 81 Aries wagon (2.2, 4spd) down in Cape Cod around 1984/85. just scanned the pic the other day. i was 5 years old at the time of the photo.

you can see a pattern here....bought a truck like my dads and i have my 86 Aries wagon (the very car that replaced the 81 as the family car) that is at the body shop right now for a full restoration.

"Cars and Coffee" in Irvine is an ongoing Saturday Morning car show that I've gone to off and on for over 20 years. I've shown different car there over the years but I 've never displayed my K-Car before. You can see rare Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Porsches, American Muscle cars, European sports cars, etc. It's one hell of a nice way to start your Saturday! ;)
