Porsche 356 @ Cars and Coffee New Jersey

Picture
We aren't very familiar with Porsche 356's, but we knew this one wasn't stock.  We love the racing livery, leather belt bonnet latches, and "X" tape over the headlights.  If this example hasn't been raced, it damn well should be.

R32 GT-R @ 100|OCT Cars & Croissants

Picture
Now road legal in the United States, this R32 GT-R was spotted at 100|OCT's most recent Cars and Croissants event.  While there were many supercars (including a Ferrari Enzo) and hypercars (McLaren P1 and LaFerrari) this elderly Godzilla consistently had a crowd around it.

The Thing @ Cars and Coffee Folsom

Originally developed for the West German Army in the late 1960's, the "Thing" was eventually sold to consumers in the United States in the early 1970's.  There were roughly 90,000 produced for the US, Indonesia, Mexico, and UK markets and it's rare to see one on the streets today.

And yes, the name of this car for the US market really was the "Thing".

VTEC Classic Mini @ Cars and Coffee Folsom

Another vehicle we couldn't ignore at Cars and Coffee Folsom is this Honda-powered Classic Mini.  These British machines were a blast to throw around corners, but were also terribly unreliable.  Thankfully, Honda-powered swaps have become more readily available; making an already fun car faster and more reliable.

RHD RS6 Avant @ 100|OCT Cars and Croissants

Picture
Here's a random, yet totally cool sighting - a right hand drive Audi RS6 Avant!  This was spotted in the parking lot during a 100|OCT Cars and Croissants event.  This could be the only one of its kind in the United States.  Anyone know for sure?
