Greetings Group, We had a wonderful fall day for our get together at Farmer Boys in Riverside. A very crisp and overcast morning for admiring the classic cars in the parking lot. I really look forward to this each month. There were some cars we hadn't seen before and some newcomers to our event.
Randy Main recruited a newcomer, Bill Cheesman. They arrived in Bill's recently acquired Triumph TR4A. Bill has some sons with British cars that may come next time.
Welcome Bill. Tracy Vining brought a friend's '60 Jaguar MKII 3.8 Saloon. First time we've seen it. It has the very desirable manual 4 speed with overdrive transmission. Brought back memories for me. Tom Yaeger brought a '53 Jaguar XK 120 replica handcrafted car. It hides a Ford V8 drive line. First time we've seen it too. Cool. Larry Maloney brought a rare '77 Lancia Scorpion. Not sure I had ever seen one.
John Bracey showed off his new '24 Mini Cooper S.
black on black. Stealthy.
