First Sunday of the month is Special Marque Day and today it was Lotus and other British badged cars. When I arrived at Pierce College, I found Phil Caliva and the Kaytises, Clay and Monica, already parked alongside Phil’s buddy, Sandy Bettleman and his one-off AC Cobra. As I parked, we were joined by Fred Cohen, driving his finely engineered, modified 100M “nasty boy”. A car so unique that it was given a special parking place. We were soon joined by Jack Gies and Steve Beck in their “big” Healeys which added up to six Austin-Healeys on display.
At the opposite end of the parking aisle was a group of three Bugeye Sprites: yellow, gray, and black. But none from the Club. There were Aston Martins, Lotuses, MGs, Morris Minors, Minis, Rovers, Sunbeams, and the AC. These cars drew a lot of attention and admiration throughout the morning.
My admiration was for the chorizo and egg burrito with queso and frijoles that Phil bought me for breakfast. It was a good as the burritos we had last week at Griffith Park. So with a full stomach and lots of good company I decide to head back to Glendale and put away Scarlet until the next event.
