It was a weekend of many car shows in Southern California for me. I was pretty much car-showed-out by Sunday night.<\/h3>\n

On Friday evening, I spent a good 4 hours doing a mini-detail job on my 2011 NC Miata to get ‘er ready for the weekend’s shows. The following morning my friend Mike and I were on the 5 North, headed to Orange County for Cars and Coffee Irvine. Go here<\/a> for photos from that event.<\/p>\n

Then on Sunday, after managing to keep the car spotless clean all day, I headed over to Old California Restaurant Row for what I believe they call, “Car Club Sundays” or maybe “Car Show Sunday.” Something like that, I’m not sure. Still, it was a pretty cool show with many more classics and hot rods than the typical exotics in OC. Of course, there was also a good share of Ferraris, Lambos and the like. The staff (volunteers?) managing the show was very courteous and cooperative. One of the guys found me a perfect spot for my NC MX5 near the Lotus in the pics, an Audi R8 and the tight group of Ferraris that ranged from a 458 Italia, to a F430 Escuderia to a F355 Berniletta.<\/p>\n

While a little bit hot, given it’s held mid-day (and this summer was stupid hot), the event turned out to be real fun. Mike brought his black 1991 Corvette ZR-1 which didn’t see the Irvine show until 2 weeks later. His ZR-1’s a pretty neat car and it’s in pristine shape – low miles and all. He’s got a couple of other sports cars, some newer, but he prefers to bring the ZR-1 to the shows… As newer Corvettes are a bit of a dime a dozen. Hard to argue with that.<\/p>\n

Most of the pics in the collection of photos below were taken with a GoPro HD Hero camera – so, lots wide-angle shots.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to attending this show again in the near future. It’s held the first Sunday of every month. A search online only brought up a small page hosted by Old California Restaurant Row with some info about the event. See it here<\/a>. Looking thru the little slideshow they have on that page, looks like my car made it on there. I think they probably need a full website dedicated to the event.<\/p>\n

They do have a Facebook page: http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CarShowSundays<\/a><\/p>\n

Needless to say, there is never a shortage of car shows in Southern California.<\/p>\n

Update: RallyWays now has an official event page for Car Show Sundays Restaurant Row<\/a>.
