[Bmcu] Success at P.C. Cars and Coffee

Sun May 9 21:05:05 MDT 2010

BMCU,

P.C. Cars and Coffee is off to a good start!  Seven of us (one new member!)
showed up around 9-ish and enjoyed warming weather and sunny skies as we
talked cars and drank coffee.  I mostly listened (I'm the young gun...33 yrs.
old) to stories from racing at Miller Motorsports park to different engine
sizes to stories of witnessing races in Europe.  Holy cow, these guys have
stories!

That said, it was a great start and the small crowd allowed me to mostly
listen to the passions and triumphs of my fellow BMCU'ers.  I feel that I soak
up all the little details about engine modifications, famous racers the guys
have met, upcoming shows and meets, and a nightmarish story about some guy
flipping a Ferrari Enzo in southern Utah!  Yikes!

I can't recall all the names of the people there, but the following cars were
present:

Red Sunbeam Tiger (monstrous engine in it, work of art)
Beige Triumph TR8

Black TR3A

Baby Blue VW Beetle (can't remember the year)

Black Triumph Bonneville motorcycle

MGB Lim. Ed.

And a guy who pulled up later in a 427(?) Shelby (AC?) Cobra.

Plenty of other cars (Porsches, a Land Rover...) slowly drove by and waved at
us, and overall I have to say it was a great way to start a Saturday.  And, I
think everyone said they'd be there next time.

So, it's on again next weekend.  Next Saturday at 9am at the Kimball Junction
Starbucks just south of I-80.  Bring whatever car you enjoy driving, don't
feel it has to be washed or prepped, just show up, drink warm beverages, and
enjoy the delights of owning and sharing cars (or motorcycles!).

Have a great week.
