The classic American luxo barges where out in force this past weekend at Cars and Coffee. It's always great to see these classic symbols of excess. But they weren't the only symbols of excess present. We had a Rolls-Royce Drop Head Coupe with it's carbon fiber umbrellas, a TWIN-TURBO Saleen S7, an SLR roadster and coupe, and a stunning brown SLS roadster.
But the cars that drew the biggest crowds where a Ferrari TR parked out in the back and Old Yellar #7 sitting out front. The Ferrari might have been a newly built TR rep, but it looked and sounded very much the part. It's owner and builder used to own the real deal at one time. It was also good to hangout around it as it seemed like the who's who amongst the Ferrari elite where around it. I heard many stories of TR's and GTO's that they once owned. Old Yellar had people confused at the show, and it seems to have caused quite the stir online too. Here is a discussion on BaT with much info on it: BaT 1961 Old Yellar 7.
But enough of my blaberring, here are my picks of this weekends pics:

The RS4 belongs to a friend. He has upgraded the brakes, the wheels are 19x10, has MTM exhaust, lowered it, and is the first one to do a full Euro RS4 interior conversion. After sitting in it I know why are american fat arses didn't get those seats. My size 36 arse is really tight in there.

I love that two tone bentley, possibly the first two tone car I like
What would the difference in a euro spec interior be over an american spec one?
