Cars and Coffee Irvine..

[RCMike]

There are 2 left. Irvine Company has convinced the city to shut it down. They have until the end of the year.

Anyone want to attend? My guess will be that it will be very early to get in, but these might be shows to see..

[roadstermike]

wow, I didn't realize it was being shut down. That sucks... I don't think we have anything planned that morning. I will go. I will check with Greg (solex68).

[RCMike]

Yeah, between the new Hotel, the current apartments, and the new apartments going up across the street, the Irvine Co. put the screws to the Irvine city..

I am in! We better get there very early. We should meet at Starbucks in the apartment/condo complex again.
Then we can roll in together and park together.

Wow, bummer, that was always such a showcase for great cars.

[Solex68]

Ferg,
You should join us. Are you in?

RoadsterMike, RCmike and I attended Coffee & Cars Irvine. I didn't take my camera out but it the best collection I have ever seen. RCmike took some photos as well as his friend. I can't think of any cars I wanted to see but missed. We did see one roadster in the showing and one excellent condition Patrol. Unfortunately 6:15 was too late to get in to show our three roadsters. We parked around the back and attended as viewers. I do want to see the pictures RCMike's friend took of our cars at Starbucks.

I arrived even later after calming the waters here at home, saw you guys pulling out as I was headed towards the parking garage.
Cars looked great, saw a few classic pieces. Funny with the multi-$$$ supercars, the Citroen D21 draws a crowd.
Too many GT40's and Cobras to count. Lambos galore. All 3 of those bore me stupid.

I will ask Scott to get those Starbucks shots out of his cameras asap.. Looked just amazing in the viewfinder.. Hope they were clear enough to scale

PS: I was the leader on the cruise to MSA in Orange.. 2 quick shots out of the phone..





Scott was using the real cameras during the tree tunnels.. hopefully those pop..

[Solex68]

I should have gone with you guys. Next time I will join.

Glad everyone made it out. Unfortunately, yesterday was the last event. It was simply insane the number of cars that showed up. After taking over several nearby parking lots, the organizers had to make a decision.



According to the organizers, 410 Saturdays, 185,000 cars and 450,000 visitors were experienced at this location.

PS: found this in my phone.. So-so shot of two beautiful cars, have not seen Scott's camera shots yet..

That has happened with just about all of the Cars and Coffee. It has been perpetually "postponed till next month" in Houston for almost a year

Cheers

This one has not been postponed since they moved it to the Ford lots with the blessings of Ford/Mazda/Taco Bell and the Irvine PD. Unfortunately it has moved on. Hopefully it comes back, as this was truly an amazing event, week after week..
