Unfortunately, Cars N' Coffee is scheduled to shutdown by the end of this month. I'm planning to make one last visit this coming Saturday and was hoping a few other C3s may be interested in going. Anyone interested?

imariver

I'm in

Are you coming down the 5 fwy. or the 405?

MrJlr

Why are they shutting it down?

imariver

Don't know, bur rumor has it that it just got too big.

I read an article that said there were too many people behaving like a@@holes, ie, doing burnouts and spectators egging drivers on to do burnouts. We had the same problem in the Charlotte area causing Cars and Coffee to get kicked out of one location and then almost kicked out of our second location. Fortunately they gave us a 2nd chance and for the time being we still have C&C first Saturday of the month. There is a nice video of an idiot in a Mustang leaving the event, losing control of his car and running into a pole (or a tree). Not caught on video was a guy I saw a few weeks earlier losing control of his Cobra and doing a 180, fortunately sliding to a stop before he hit a brick wall.


in fact, here it is... I guess he didn't hit a tree/pole after all. Looks like he could have taken out the fire hydrant, but I don't see water spraying.

This should be titled, "How to Get Cars and Coffee Cancelled"

I'm taking the 5. Where would you like to meet? Perhaps Doug, Jeff or some of the other guys may want to forego sleep and join us

Stingray Ronnie

What time do you plan on hitting the road? I've never been but have heard allot about it. Heard you have to be there pretty early. Let me know the details.

imariver

Come down 5 and exit onto Beach Blvd. south, go just about a block and you'll see Buena Park City Hall on your left (East Side of Beach)

As far as the time? Good question. You have my number for last minute details.

Its actually pretty cool, usually there's a good turn out with a really great selection of cars. People start rolling in early and by 6:30 AM, the lot is pretty full. I'm planning to leave the house by 5:00 AM by way of the 5. Are you guys in?

imariver

I'm in See you around, say 5:30?

79CalShark

Yes, I'll call you from the road.

Doug's 77

Yes count me in. Around 6am anyone else coming from the I.E want to meet up? Jeff?

imariver

Ok, I'll be at City Hall around 5:30

jr73

What about cars and beers?

79CalShark

Great turn out this morning. All lots were full and there were plenty of great cars to look at. imariver, doug77, stingray Ronnie and myself made a final showing representing the California Stingrays. Too bad this landmark is shutting down... although rumor has it that it may reopen soon at el toro.

LT1M21Vette

Too bad they are shutting this event down.

I was there early Nov. Saw that C3 with really nice seats. Nice color too.

79CalShark

Yes, this vette was a regular at CnC as was Barry McGuire, from McGuire's car care products. He too was in attendance today. There always was a good representation of our cars at most Saturday shows.
