Balboa Fun Zone Cars & Coffee 5/11
Phil Caliva | Published on 5/11/2025
The three amigos from the Club to make a showing at today's Recurring Event, Balboa Fun Zone in Newport Beach, CA were Tim McNiff, Jim Bennett and yours truly, Phil Caliva.
I was relegated to write todays story because I lost a coin toss to Jim and Tim. This coin toss has become a tradition between Jim and me on choosing who writes the story for our club newsletter. For the last three shows I have won two out of three tosses, so I love this way of deciding who gets to write it!! We had our English cars among all the usual American Iron that shows up every week at the Fun Zone parking lot, with some very nice Classics and Hot Rods. Among this group were our buddies and Club members, Tom and Paige Rubinate, who are present every week in the discussion circle.
Tim and I consumed our usual delicious breakfast Croissants, and I had a great Mocha Coffee. Then Jim joined us at the table and we told some stories as usual, then Tim and I departed north on PCH to go home. The weather was slightly overcast but warm enough to make it a most pleasant Healey driving day. We sure enjoy our drives even when it’s a club point activity!!
