I didn’t originally intend to take photos of these events before because I had only been to one prior, and wasn’t aware at that time that it would become an event I would go to regularly. And by ‘regularly’ I mean I’ve been to TWO. Lol. But I captured some pretty good photos so I thought I’d compile them here and start posting more photos from these gatherings whenever I go since there are some interesting cars that show-up. The Brekkie Car Club “Sunday Service” events are just meets held every few weeks (usually on Sundays) at Rodeo 39 Public Market. It’s a new food spot down in Stanton, California at the plot of land that used to house the one and only Super Autobacs in the USA. Autobacs shut down years ago and because of the bad economy during that period, the entire area and surrounding businesses suffered. Most of them shut down and eventually that land just became sort of abandoned, other than the DMV, which took over the massive defunct Autobacs facility to service the state of California. Eventually the DMV shut down as well and the entire area was completely leveled and reborn to what it is today. Rodeo 39 launch recently but because of the ongoing ‘thing’ that’s affected our world, it hasn’t seen the type of outpouring of business they had expected during development. So people who are associated with Rodeo 39 decided to start hosting events there to bring people to the local business hub and provide a safe space for car enthusiasts to congregate. My friend Jonathan Wong started telling me about these meets and I decided to go see it for myself. The most recent one was pretty big. Way bigger than I thought it would be because the first event I attended was a decent size, but I wouldn’t say it was ‘packed’. This last one was pretty packed. To the point where I think people that didn’t know about the meet were annoyed because so many car enthusiasts had packed the lot. Even with the amount of people there, it didn’t seem too sketchy as everyone abided by the rules to wear masks and stay generally 6-feet away from one another. They tried their hardest. I still get nervous about being out and about with a bunch of people but I stuck around and tried to experience the meet the best I could. I wish I had taken more photos, to be honest, because the day before we had some rain which always makes photos look good with the water reflecting light off the ground.
Anyways, before I type too much, here are the photos I captured during the first two Brekkie meets this month. If I go to the others, I’ll try to shoot more and post more of the event here. The first few photos of Jesse’s Porsche 997 are from the first Brekkie meet I went to. I didn’t take any other photos from that day but I realized I never posted them here on the website. Thanks for looking!…
Jesse Villaruz’s Porsche 997.1 Carrera S on a set of 18-inch Desmond Regamaster EVO II wheels which required modification to work on the 997 chassis…
The rear EVO II wheels are actually customized and widened 12.5-inches to sit snuggly under the rear quarter panels…
Porsche 991 Cup steering wheel which was re-wrapped to match the factory red double-stitched leather interior…
A pair of Recaro Pole Position seats which were also re-wrapped to match…
Visible through the cut rear bumper of the 997 is a Wisecraft Fabrication custom exhaust…
Through the rear window you can see the GMG Racing 8-point roll cage…
The exterior features an OEM 997 GT3 front bumper, fender flares, and Cup front lip…
Jesse’s Porsche also hosts a set of custom sideskirts, 997.2 rear LED taillights and 997.2 rear bumper which has been modified for the exhaust…
Jay’s NSX always sitting nice and low on Mugen MF10 wheels in bronze…
I always make fun of Jay and his friends because he only seems to bring his NSX out when everyone else is bringing out their DA/DB Integras, which he also has but would rather not drive so he can stunt on his own friends…
Haven’t seen Jimmy Uria in a while so it was cool to chat with him and see his bagged Mercedes 280SE. He also convinced me to bring my Q45 out to one of these meets next time, and who knows, maybe I might actually do it…
Der snapping some photos of the ’72 Benz in front of In-N-Out…
The other, more successful, guy who shares a name with me brought out his Aston Martin on Volk TE37. I’m glad we both share a name and both have white cars on TEs…except mine is a Honda Pilot :\
Not every day you see a Honda Acty in a parking lot in North America. Hopefully the owner got home safely because it has been pretty windy lately and they might get blown away…
Brian from Mackin works down the street from me but I feel like I never see him and only run into the plethora of white cars on Mag Blue wheels that he owns whenever I go anywhere…
It was a day for bagged Mercedes apparently because there were a number of them at the Brekkie Meet. I for one, am not complaining about it…
Angel recently found his unicorn CL9 TSX all the way in Tennessee with white exterior and black leather interior, drove it home, and then proceeded to take the interior out of his car. This is the life of a Honda enthusiast. He originally had a gray TSX and simply switched everything over from that build to this one…
Jay and friends drinking beer in the parking lot at 10:45 AM on a Sunday morning where he also randomly created his own parking spot…
That’s all from this month’s Brekkie meet(s). I’ll try to get more in the future. Until then, thanks for the views!…
That 280SE! Perfection.
Good stuff
