    Best of Aliso Viejo Cars and Coffee

    When we say “best”, we mean “most odd.”  As a bonus, many shots include a two-year-old Oddimotive fan! Our first feature is a Caprice wagon with a 50s panel theme.  The guy was packing up to leave, so we didn’t get details… Apparently, it still has some cargo capacity.  Note detailed chrome work. The interior…

  • OC Fairgrounds Cars and Coffee #1 (August 22, 2015)

    OC Fairgrounds Cars and Coffee #1 (August 22, 2015)

    Today was the inaugural OC Cars and Coffee event at the Orange County Fairgrounds.  The event was certainly a success.  There were some issues around getting everyone (C&C exhibitors and spectators in, plus swap meet folks) into the event, but that can be worked out.  The Ruby’s Diner food truck was a great touch!  The…

    Four-speed Chevy wagon in black with red interior.  Does it get better?

  • Cars & Coffee Sighting: Kubota Powered S-10

    Cars & Coffee Sighting: Kubota Powered S-10

    So what does a Kubota tractor and a late 90’s Chevrolet S-10 have in common?  Nothing, other than with some determination the Kubota engine can be made to fit in the S-10. Yes, you are seeing that right.  A Kubota tractor diesel engine swapped in an S-10.  The owner put in a lot of work…

    Irvine Cars and Coffee Sightings: June 14, 2014

    It was a beautiful day for Cars and Coffee, so there was a huge turnout.  Arriving at 6am helped!  The Oddimotive Brown Z was in attendance, along with the Model A Woody. Why not a classically odd vehicle right up front?  This Pinto Wagon MPG edition was parked right next to us. Interior was pretty…

    Irvine Cars and Coffee Sightings: May 3, 2014

    Here we have one of the later Dodge Darts, which shares sheetmetal (and a lot of other parts) with the Plymouth Duster.  This one is a Demon 340 and, yes, it had a four-speed.  The 340 was a high revving, often underrated engine, so this car is probably a blast. Here’s another shot with the…

    Recent Oddimotive Sightings

    It’s been a while since I posted any sightings, and that can only mean I’ve saved up some goodies. Sighting number one is from Irvine Cars and Coffee.  I think this car has been there before, but I just can’t get enough of it.  These Peugeot 205GTIs are damn cool cars and I used to…

    Irvine Cars and Coffee sightings: December 28, 2013

    I didn’t get a ton of pics on Saturday, but found one highly desirable odd car and a couple just odd.  I threw in a neighborhood sighting as a bonus item. First up is a 1950s Duetsch Bonnet (AKA DB).  I’d never heard of this brand, but it is extremely cool – tiny, elegant and…

    Irvine Cars and Coffee sightings: August 24, 2013

    I attended Irvine Cars and Coffee today with Oddimotive HQ.  Fog was rolling in off and on, which was a cool effect. I love MGB GTs, but had a hard time figuring out the direction of this project. Land speed records? This Bristol was a highly unusual sighting. Got badge? Just any old M Coupe…

    Irvine Cars and Coffee sightings: August 10, 2013

    Today’s visit was quick and spectator-only in order to catch up with a good friend I hadn’t seen in too long.  As such, I didn’t get too many photos, but the oddness level is still pretty high. This seems to be a crowdfunded project called Pendler Motors.  It’s a motorcycle/car combo, obviously.  Pretty interesting! This…
