Default Austin Cars and Coffee (July and August)

Here are some selections from Austin (Leander) Cars and Coffee July and August. The last event (today) did not have that great of a turn out - I guess it's too hot for a show. Austin area have been hammered by 105+ F weather for more than 40+ consecutive days now .... I noted this morning that a big pond on the golf course at my subdivision is completely dried up.

Most of the shots are post-processed with Photomatix

Bentley Continental GT brake caliper:


Aston Martin Virage - very pretty car:


Maserati GranTurismo S next to an R8 Spyder:


Pair of Brit icons - Lotus Esprit and Jaguar XKR (mine):


Playstation car - Nissan GT-R, next to a Gallardo Superleggera:


Aston Martin Virage:


Rolls Royce Phantom:


The Spirit of Ecstasy:


Bentley Continental GTC reflected on the flank of a Rolls Royce Phantom:


British oldies - but still head turners (TR6 and MG MGB rubber bumper)


Any Austin area owners want to team up to attend on October? I will be at Yellowstone/Grand Teton during the September event.

For a moment I thought this was a get together for British Leyland Austin owners- for cars like the old Mini, Allegro, Maxi, 1100 (America), Maestro etc etc and I was thinking- how obscure that there would be afficionados of those contraptions in America- well there is no accounting for taste!
