Cars & Coffee: July
 

Hey there, hope everyone has had a good weekend so far! Today, I went to Cars and Coffee in Irvine CA and met up with my good friend Jeff who I met back in my Saab days to hang out and check out the automotive pornography that is C&C, it always amazes every time. We were going to meet up at 7:15am and even though we both left early, the lot was almost completely full by then and Jeff grabbed one of the auxiliary spots while I ended up getting one of the last spaces.



Upon arrival, Jeff's 1991 c900 turbo 'vert looks great with Saab SPG wheels and springs:

What we were parked next to. Just a GT3RS, no big deal...

Then we found the reason for the lack of parking, the Mustang club decided to show up:

Got gauges? At least it had the power to back it up.

An interesting car. Horrible vinyl wrap job, misaligned badges, and the hat was there to hide the tiptronic shifter lol. GT2RS, right.

Only at Cars and Coffee can you find a Mazda 6 next to a perfectly restored Camaro:

I shot a short video with my GoPro attached to the hatch, with Jeff and I doing the infamous Cars and Coffee take off out of the parking lot. The first gear punch broke the tires loose which felt very satisfying, I'm sure the spectators were happy haha. I didn't go faster as the cop was standing right there haha.






Are those two Zs anyone on here? They were both stock to my knowledge, nice to see some Z respresentation! Hope you all enjoyed the pictures. :)

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing!

Great coverage!

Awesome!

awesome. That dog musta been like super happy and confused too. Like.. omg so many choices which one to choose (sounds like Rebecca black's lyrics..)

Damnnit Carmageddon!

I will be there sometime this month for sure, great pics Christian.

Haha, that dog was actually fake and the car's owner poured some water on the ground while I was walking by, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed.

Yes you do, we need to get all the guys together for a Cars & Coffee run. The Socal Zs could fill up the entire lot haha.

Awesome pics, thanks! I was there and I saw you driving around and I'm glad you posted the pics/videos so quickly. It was a very nice show indeed.

wow looks like fun. I wanna go after my car is done.

You should have come over, it would have been nice to meet you! I didn't realize anyone on the forum was going, we should coordinate next time.

You should definitely come, you can advertise for UAM as well if you bring stickers and a small display too although I wouldn't go too far. How far away are you from Irvine?

In two weeks I am planning on attending, I will update the meet thread next week to let the guys know about it. :tup:

I would just bring my car and a few business cards. With my new place i moved in to, im about 25 minutes away from Irvine if i take the 241

NIce pics. I have to tell you guys the more I look a Porsche pics with the yellow calipers I want to this myself. I feel it would look great my my color setup.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. :tup:
