SPARKS, NV (Nov. 27) — Sparks Cars & Coffee held its second meet of the month, which ended November. While the turn out was on the sparse side there was still a decent mix of cars to see.
Next weekend things will be different as December begins with toy runs to help disadvantaged youngsters. So this report will be a different different.
This Sunday’s meet with Sparks Cars and Coffee did offer quite a mix of car types. One of them as this great looking 427 Shelby Cobra and had many checking it out.
Not far away was a trio of very different cars. Starting with a front engine Corvette then beside it was a Lamborghini and round off the trio was an Audi sedan.
Quite and in the next row over were two motorcycles by another Corvette. The Honda and Vette made quite a contrast.
The Incursion Car Club had a few cars including a great looking Honda Accord. Glad to see them coming out and supporting these meets.
This reporter wants to commend those that brave the morning cold and help keep these meets going. These are great places to meet car people and see some interesting cars.
