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)
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…

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…
