We had a little cars and coffee this morning at the Carpokes headquarters. Nice event with great cars and even better people. We had an odd summer wind blow through and knock every leaf and acorn off a million trees, so that was fun with all the fancy cars sitting out, but all-in-all a great way to spend a Satuday morning!

Brand new Bentley interior -- about as nice as interiors get. Pictures don't do it justice. It got a spot on the lawn too. :)

I believe so, but it has corvette suspension, modern GM motor with ECU, corvette wheels, etc. Very nicely done!

At the Carpokes international headquarters (i.e., my house in the SF Bay Area suburbs....) :D

It was a great day, worth driving from Las Vegas to attend! As said above, got to catch up with old 944 friends and meet new 918 & 911 guys. Special thanks to Tom for the beautiful venue and hospitality!

Bill, I had no idea you were driving back to LV after the event. Thank you so much for making all that effort! And here I thought the guys from Marin came a long way! Next time, I may do some car-specific get-togethers, including one for us diehard 944 guys, so we can spend more time hanging out. This event was great, but my time was limited as I tried to chat a little with everyone who was nice enough to attend.
