Cars and Coffee 11-26-11

Hey there everyone, I have been a bit AWOL these past few days since I've been crazy busy but I finally got my photos and video edited and uploaded from Cars and Coffee this past Saturday in Irvine.

I met up with my C&C buddy Jeff (Saab friend) around 6:30am and parked in the show lot, I got there around 6:15 just because I knew a holiday weekend will always be much busier and wanted to make sure we got a spot. As always, there were some truly amazing cars that came out. It was super crowded so some of my pictures are a bit cropped since I only brought my 50mm prime. Anyways, onto the pictures!


Sunrise in Newport Beach:








Parking buddy: A classic Ferrari










An original Mini parked next to a military spec Hummer? That's Cars and Coffee for you. Me and my friend joked that his cup of coffee had more displacement that the Mini's engine haha.










A Prius with chrome wheels, candy apple red engine covers, and a quad tip exhaust. HA HA.






A crazy Porsche 964:







I'm not a fan of gassers but the velocity stacks on this engine are stunning.






This was Jeff's pick of the day. An imported E30 wagon, such a shame it was an automatic though.










A cool Baja bug:





Jeff's Saab 900 turbo convertible:





This has to be one of the coolest hoods of all time, Buick Eight.









A Ferrari dealer brought their 458 and Enzo out:










An awesome lineup: MP4-12C, Aventador, LP560-Super Trofeo, Diablo SV, and an LP640.









Screw the GTR start button, I want one of these!





A few Volvo wagons hiding some secrets:








I had to laugh at this Ford GT. Notice anything?







License plate of the day:





Ariel Atom:






A Maserati V8 swapped Citroen, talk about mixing the best of everything....








A mean RX-7 'vert:








The in house fun spoiler:





And finally, the Z and the C900 together:






Here's a video I took of the takeoff, the good parts are around 1:05, 3:45, and 7:20. God I love my car!







Thanks for looking, I hope you all enjoyed it!

Thanks Gurney! I don't know what he wanted, I first noticed him staying on my tail getting onto the freeway so I dropped into 3rd and punched it. He kept following me around but he never acknowledged my thumbs up. The Silverado had an exhaust and what sounded like a tune judging from the louder than stock turbo whistle.

I know, the crazy thing is this is what it's like every single week! Sometimes, you will get some special cars too like Michael Schumacher's F1 car or the Hennessy Venom GT.

Awesome stuff!

christian370z

Haha, I always found it ironic that the state that has the strictest automotive regulations has what I believe to be the richest and most diverse car culture in the US.

Thanks man!

Awesome Pics!! Especially the Ferra-Moose emblem.

Maybe that Silverado wants to say 'Hi' to the camera?? LOL

christian370z

Thanks Mike, I believe they are Volk GT30s.

Golf sounds like fun, you should definitely stop by some time! Just let me know so we can go like last time.

I wish lol, I go every 3 weeks when I go home to Newport or sometimes every week if I am on break. We should definitely go though, it would be cool to see Rin out there!


Haha, that's the Prancing Moose. I thought about putting one on my Saab but I ended up not doing it. He was definitely looking to play which I did a bit, I went through 3 dots of fuel in those 5 minutes haha.
