    NorCal

    Some photos from yesterday's NorCal breakfast (Cobras, GT40, Daytona Coupe, Mustang, and a Viper). These were taken early.... probably another 5 or 6 cars showed up later. We are experiencing an Indian Summer here (highs in the low 80's), so everyone is taking advantage and we had a great turn out.

    Nice gathering Phil.

    Who's GT40? It amazes me every time I see one next to a Cobra.
    They make the Cobra look huge.

    Okay..... guess I shouldn't have left you hanging, however, I didn't hear this directly from Pat (we were at another table), so I'm not comfortable posting it on the Internet without the facts.

    I had heard a year or so ago Pat was taking a trailer down to SoCal to pickup a GT40 roller...

    Something to do with a "conflict of interest"..........

    Thumbs up

    We - well, me, anyway - vow not to hold you to any particulars.

    It is a pretty nice car,too. Haven't read all the posts; not certain that I need to, will just kinda brush thru to see what steps out.
    Yeehah

    Are you in training to run for Governor or some other political office?

    Talking NorCal

    Gotta love that Phil.
    Always leads in with something about the great CA weather to get us
    Northerners tuned up.
    Yeh Phil.....you had 80's......I had 32 in my corner of Canada.
    Needless to say the 427 made it's yearly trip to the barn for winter storage.
    "See you next May little Cobra"
    Phil.....do you want to adopt me and my car.
    Looked like a great gathering of cars....one of these days..!!!!!!!
    Cheers..............Mike

    Mike,

    What can I say except I'm sorry that your car is in hibernation already. I'll probably get the car out on the road again this weekend , however, I'm afraid there aren't too many more of these perfect days left in this year.
