Who's going? I met up with the DFWMazda guys last time and it was fun to roll in with a bunch of Mazdas. Downside to that is that they meet up at *yawn* 6:30am in order to aggregate. So...6:30am at the Cinemark Theater south of the BMW stealership and we'll be at C&C before 7. Guaranteed parking together. Otherwise, good luck! Last month it was really crowded by about 7:15.
What/where is this 'Cars & Coffee'? I'm new-ish here.Quote:

I'm going (from work), so I won't be displaying anything, just looking' and shootin'
Sorry, I was serious - but wow, that's less than 2 miles from me, I can't believe I didn't know about it ::Shocked: Thanks for the link!Quote:

Yes, there is spectator parking. I plan to be there, I'll pm u my number.
mk2tmr2, it was a pleasure meeting you today, it was a shame that we didn't get a chance to talk a bit, hope you have a nice weekend onwards and look forward in seeing you/the absolutely beautiful NA of yours again in the future.
I was the person with 91' NA, BTW.

The Ferrari FF and the Fisker Karma are huge! And the McLaren In black is pure sex. Sadly, the new Porsche 911 looks a bit like a two-door Panamera...
That was a way cool car show. I have never seen that many Ferraris in one place before. I agree, the Karma is ginormous. Had a really cool solar panel roof, though. The Noble was also a very interesting little car. I was encouraging the owner to show up at one of our auto crosses. I would love to see that thing run. I cannot figure out the appeal (other than the absolute snob appeal) of the RR. I think I would rather buy a 7 series AND a Ferrari or a Lambo for the same money. As a bonus, I could save the money I would have to pay Jeeves to buy a membership at one of the tracks.
It was nice to chat with you briefly, too. Sorry I got whisked away by a friend who showed up a little late.Quote:

Next time it will be warmer....I hope.
I went for the first time, and have to say I was very overwhelmed. Many of the cars there I have only ever seen in video games, internet/magazine articles and Top Gear. I managed to get my tongue back into my mouth long enough to take a few pictures, but was drooling for most of it:

I must have showed up a little later, or just not gone to the right row, because I didn't catch the Fisker. The website said 8-12, so I got there around 9:15-9:30. I'm not sure what time it was, but by the time we made it over to the Ferraris I saw your car as you were leaving, mk2tmr2. Do people usually take off pretty early?

Disclaimer: My first time photographing at a car show..
Great photos. Thanks for sharing.
you got there at a good time, paradox. I ad been there since 6:50 and was cold, to the bone so I decided to leave early and warm up. People do tend to start leaving at around 9:30 and it is typically a very thin herd by 10:15. If you want to have the best chance to see everything, try to get there at 8:30
A guy I work with was there with his '00 Vette. Some lady in a '10 Camaro SS had a seizure and rammed his car at full throttle. He said the Camaro was on top of his car at one point. He's supposed to send me a link to some pictures.
Any of you guys see it happen?
Wow
Ouch!
