Huge turnout today! We pretty much filled our end of the lot, which was awesome. I hadn't been in a few weeks, so it was nice to see so many faces (new and old); and get the new Sky out a bit. I'm no professional photographer, so here's my iPhone pictures. Including 2 MP4s, a TVR, an R8, so many Supras, a twin turbo LSX old school Camaro, BMWs, Porsches and more!

I'll add links to more professional photos from other people as they get posted in the comments.

First up, the Agent 47 S197 SEMA Mustang owned by Richard who organizes everything.

Audi R8 V10 FSi.

Classic TVR! I think the owner said it was a '74 (or he also owned a '74). He said he had three, so this one might be a different year and I might be confused.

An amazingly nice looking modified Porsche 911 Turbo Cab.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Nurburgring Edition.

McLaren MP4 Spyder.

McLaren MP4 Coupe. Owned by the same gentleman as the above Spyder. I'd like to know what he does for a living and how to get into that field. He didn't look a day over 25.

A ton of Supras continued to pour in. It was like a black hole or something. One showed up, then another, then another, and eventually there was six.

Twin turbo LSX-powered classic Camaro.

Miata. Because racecar.

Acura Honda NSX.

Saaaaaaaaaab 9-5 Aero.

Beamers:

And the last few:

If any of you Opponauts live in San Diego, you should come down next week. The last of the month is always a massive turnout.

Hope you enjoyed some of the pictures.

Very Nice! I still have yet to see an 8-Series at the Cars and Coffee in Great Falls.

Argh today was going to finally be the day I made it out. Then I had to go to Yuuuuuuma (best read in Clarkson voice) to buy a 5th wheeler.

Next week.

Our cars and coffee always has a ton of diversity, both in the cars and the people.

The best part is everyone gets along with everyone. You'll never hear a bad comment there and everyone is very open to chatting.

It's really the best car event I have ever been to. The people are beyond amazing.

Perks of living in San Diego / Southern California in general. It was up to the mid-80s by the time the event was over. Christmas day will be shiny and bright.

I think we get maybe four or five days of "rain" a year.

The 8-series is one of my favorite BMWs. There is usually a red 850CSi that shows up in mint condition, but he wasn't there today. Last time I went, there was a black 840i that had a custom twin turbo set-up that sounded ungodly.

The are really nice cars. I've just always heard maintenance is a nightmare.

Next week for sure! Let me know ahead of time what you'll be bringing and we can meet up. It would be cool to meet another Opponaut.

You could always join us for breakfast afterwards. We go to this really awesome, amazing tasting and inexpensive German place right down the street.

Sounds good to me. I'll probably bring the M3. Grey e46 with black Forgestars. Maybe the Vette. Red C6 Z06 with chrome factory wheels.

Also, did it kind of creep you out a little bit that I sent you an ad for a Sky in San Diego? I was kind of surprised to see that you were from here.

It didn't really creep me out. I figured somewhere in my post I had put that I was in San Diego or something and figured you were just trying to help me out. Which I appreciated a lot.

It's really awesome to see another SD Opponaut though! I figured most of the SoCal Oppo people would be up in LA.

OK good. There are a few of us around. The head of the SD Porsche club is on a lot.

i'm guessing this isn't Carslbad NM... I think it was the McLaren that gave it away...
