Recap: Snake River Fun Run & BBQ 2010

Terrific weather (finally) for the first event of the season..

Special thanks to our hosts, the Sheehans, who provided the games, the prizes, the food, and the opportunity to drive our cars. We all enjoyed the drive even with all those cyclists who were everywhere along the route.. some of our other car members (Mustang, Camaro, Corvette, Pantera) were MIA this trip. Apparently too many snakes to contend with? ((LOL!))

Snake River Fun Run & BBQ Postponed Again..

Another Weather Delay.. due to uncertain weather conditions (again), tomorrow's Snake River Fun Run & BBQ has been postponed until Sat, June 12th, 2010 (same time & place).. third time's the charm, right?  

The Sheehans made the decision this morning even though there's a small chance it could be nice tomorrow, its just too iffy to plan for a BBQ.

* Please help us out..

by sending or calling in your RSVP for next Saturday's event ASAP or no later than Thursday, June 10th, 2010, even if the weather looks unpredictable.. that way the Sheehans can have some idea of how many to plan for the BBQ. Thanks!

RSVP: Dick or Jo at ccllamas@q.com or call (208) 468-8860

Hope to see you next Saturday!

Cars & Coffee - Sat, May 1st, 2010

New Local Event..

A weekly gathering of auto enthusiasts from 9:00am - 12:00pm each Saturday, weather permitting. There will be something for everyone to enjoy; classics, exotics, concepts, hotrods, motorcycles and motor-sport. And it's all free, minus the coffee of course.

Moxie Java (Bogus Basin Rd)Apologies for the late posting here.. we've been waiting for updates before posting here after being contacted by the organizer Herman Myron, who wants to organize a Cars & Coffee local event on Saturdays.  These events are quite popular in other locations across the US.

EVENT:  CARS & COFFEE

WHERE:  Moxie Java - Bogus Basin Road
Moxie JavaAddress:
2596 Bogus Basin Road
Boise, ID 83702
(208) 854-1500
*View Google Map

WHEN:  9:00 am - Saturdays (weather permitting)


After a couple of emails (see recent email below) regarding possible locations, here's the latest news.. we're assuming there have been no changes made. So maybe we'll see some of our club members there, should be fun.

From: herman myron
Date: April 28, 2010 7:22:44 PM MDT
To: Ger 6 Performance
Subject: cars and coffee

So I think a good place to meet would be the moxie on Bogus basin road.The big store is closed and if you want to go for a drive Bogus is right there.9 a.m. on good weather Saturdays.. How does that sound to everyone?

P.S. if weather permits, we'll probably be there tomorrow morning but we have a prior (must attend) event later in the day, so a drive would be difficult for us this time.  We'll see?  -Gear6

1964 Shelby Cobra factory race car up for sale at Amelia Island

AutoBlog: 1964 Shelby Cobra factory race car up for sale at Amelia Island

1964 Shelby Cobra CSX2557Last month RM Auctions offered up the 427 Cobra prototype at its annual auction in Phoenix, and although it failed to meet reserve price, the final bid of nearly $1.5 million signified the importance of the car. Fortunately for car collectors who still want to add a notable Shelby to their garage will have the chance at RM's auction next month.

A 1964 Shelby Cobra, chassis CSX2557, will be crossing the block during the sale coinciding with the Amelia Island Concours on March 13.  You can read more about the history of CSX2557 and the other Cobra racecars after the jump..
