Cars & Coffee 8-4-07

Post by sideache »

The Marque for August 4th is the Ford GT & GT40. My boys are hoping the GTX1 shows up. Anyway, Car marque weeks usually bring out a bigger crowd. I'll be there around 6:20 for those in OC.

How often do they hold featured marque gatherings? Is there a list of upcoming marques? I've been looking for an excuse to come down there.

Sideache and Steve,
I will be there Saturday morning, also about 6:20am. Look for my Sapphire blue 69 MGB roadster. Usually slotted in near the I-5 side of the second row. I live about 5 miles away.

I've yet to find the source for upcoming marques. There is normally one marque a week, or a general category. One fairly frequent category is British cars. I usually hear from a fellow Irvine resident that is a Triumph club member.

You can check out http://www.carsandcoffee.info in the forum. The Marque weeks are a bit sporatic and are usually run by clubs. They get permission from Paul at the Ford design center. It is about time for another British marque. I think that some of us just need to talk to Paul.

Frank, I'm usually in the first row with the other Brit cars - I have the Surf Blue Mini with the rack.

Steve - I'll pass out some more flyers this week.
