Once a month they have cars & coffee in downtown Jacksonville, Fl. First time I have the TTA there. I got a great TTA respect from the crowd. Lots of peopl knew what it was, so I did not have to do a lot of explaining. My TTA was there as well as a Typhoon, 3 grand nationals and a T- Type. Awesome time, wished it would have lasted longer, it was from 9 am til 11am.:clap:
 
Look at that crowd around your car! Very nice. So envious now. We are having a blizzzard today. Going to go down to about -10 tonight. A lot of bad weather in the mid west and east coast this weekend. Enjoy your TTA and the sunshine!! :thumbup:
 
Yeah your car looks great!! I just spent the morning blowing snow so I could get out of my house :cold::cold::cold:

Like i told you before, turn the damn fan off.. this was wed. with front, back and side doors open... tomorrow will be a high of 36 with a 20 mph substained wind... Did i mention i hate winter? :cold:
 
Yeah I was up north all last week. Glad to be back before the bad weather came thru. Its been a rough winter up there. Hope it gets better soon!
Heck Robert I was even briefly in Newnan last week!
 
This GN was there, it had this flexable intake hose and had XFI so no mass air flow sensor.
Also had a reusable oil filter with front mount intercooler. Said he runs over 30lb of boost.

It was a blast, exciting 2 hours! There were lots of exotic cars there, mainly highend imports.

Next month it will be held with the Amelia Island Concours d'elegance car show. I believe Jay Leno and others celeberitys have attended that show.

Here is a link to the website of the people that host the cars & coffee down here. Well they did have one picture of the TTA on there as I rolled in looking for a parking spot!

Very nice! :thumbup:Interesting that you had a crowd that knows the 89 TTA, I've found that to be very rare.
...altho it does seem a little like you are "rubbing salt in the wound" (oh, wait - the road crews already did that :wall:) to those of us in the path of "winter storm Neptune".
It is 10 degrees F and wind chills about -10 here in the Garden State this morning, low tonite forecasted to be zero :cold: with more wind. Gotta go clear the snow off the driveway soon, ugh.

One guy was talking about a TTA to the GN guys before he knew I was even there. So he walked down the parking lot and saw the TTA. It appears that true car people that know history of cars do know what a TTA is!
But I have been to cruise-in, shows where very few people know what it is. I really did like this crowd compared to others.

I do hope all this bad weather does clear up soon!
 
I scrolled thru a bunch of the photos from the link - WOW :eeks:
That is a huge gathering with a very wide variety of great cars :cool:
Defintely not every day (or every cruise) that you will see that sort of cross-section of our "hobby". I can't imagine that there was enough time to see everything.
Thanks for sharing.

Yes Mark, 2 hours wasn't enough time. I though I might see a "tiger" or 2. I have seen a couple around at local cruise-ins in the last year or 2.

Cool. I wonder if I know 'em? I'd need to check the map and TE/AE Club directory to see who might be in that area... of course there are plenty of owners who aren't members of the club.
John Webber (contributing editor at "Classic Motorsports" magazine) had 2 green ones, but sold both a couple of years back. He's in FL, but I don't remember where.
Tim Suddard ("owner" of both Classic Motorsports/Grassroots Motorsports) has a really sharp blue one that was restored/lightly modded a few years ago.
