Coffee, Croissant & Cars #11/13 – Avenue Drivers Club

Earlier this month I managed to pop down to the Avenue Drivers Club where an ever unpredictable smorgasbord of vehicles turned up.

GN, Avenue Drivers Club, Queen Square, Bristol

Well known chain drive enthusiast Duncan Pittaway brought his two cylinder 1921 GN along which I first saw a couple of years ago when I was competing in the Cross Trophy.

Cadillac Sedan de Ville, Avenue Drivers Club, Queen Square, Bristol

Another familiar vehicle present, that is also familiar to these pages, was the magnificent 1973 Cadillac Sedan de Ville above.

BMW M5, Avenue Drivers Club, Queen Square, Bristol

I have only owned one BMW and it was a red M5 not too dissimilar to the one above, I gave mine up in favour of a much older and sedate Volvo 244DL, before I was tempted to loose my driving licence.

 Chevrolet Corvette, Avenue Drivers Club, Queen Square, Bristol

The owner of this C4 Corvette is also our motor club social secretary at the time of writing he had already traded the Corvette in for a Ford Mustang fourth generation Mustang.

Ford SVT Lightening, Avenue Drivers Club, Queen Square, Bristol

Fords second generation SVT Lightening Pick Up is based on the F-150 but with lowered suspension, a supercharged motor giving 380 hp when the model above was built and a 4 speed automatic transmission sourced from the V10/diesel Super Duty pick-up.

Porsche Boxter Speedster, Avenue Drivers Club, Queen Square, Bristol

Finally my friend Ted who started the year with a Porsche GT2 swapped it for an Aston Martin has now bought this fabulous Porsche Boxster Speedster.

Thanks for joining me on this “Coffee, Croissant & Cars #11/13” edition of “Gettin’ a li’l psycho on cars, I hope you will join me again tomorrow when I be looking at a Plymouth Fury Station Wagon. Don’t forget to come back now !
