Here are some selections from Austin (Leander) Cars and Coffee July and August. The last event (today) did not have that great of a turn out - I guess it's too hot for a show. Austin area have been hammered by 105+ F weather for more than 40+ consecutive days now .... I noted this morning that a big pond on the golf course at my subdivision is completely dried up.

For a moment I thought this was a get together for British Leyland Austin owners- for cars like the old Mini, Allegro, Maxi, 1100 (America), Maestro etc etc and I was thinking- how obscure that there would be afficionados of those contraptions in America- well there is no accounting for taste!![Icon Hyper](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_hyper.gif)
