Default Cars and Croissants Santana Row 8/22

I will be heading out to this one this weekend and was just wondering who else is going? I know in the past we use to have about 20-30 covettes show every week. Not sure how it is now
Here is the Link

Gotta replace a few sensors - both are on the transmission. I want to get it done early so I can go to the movies in the afternoon. I'll catch you on the next one

I'd go but I'm not done yet. Starter didn't arrive so I couldn't finish my new engine install.

Wow. Didn't know this event had become so over-the-top, with exotics on the main drag and mere performance cars like ours banished to adjacent lots. Might make it anyhow with my '67 ragtop.

Just got back from driving my '67 roadster to this event. Lots of Euro cars on the main drag, but absolutely no group of CF Vettes that I could find after walking around the whole property. None of the people in charge knew of a Vette or performance car accumulation. Saw one blue C7 backed into a space at the back of the property...was that the CF showing?

This event is nothing like the Blackhawk cars and coffee
mostly euro cars. I heard most of the domestic cars are on the top floor of the parking lot. I drove to top floor and still only a few mustangs and a couple of vettes. I going to stick to the blackhawk cars and coffee. less mainstream and 10x the cars

I didn't go as the body wanted sleeping in...I do love euro cars but it sounds like Blackhawk is better after all. SF certainly delivers too.

I spotted you driving around, but there was no clue cars were located in other places besides the main drag. I did talk to the organizer as he wanted to discuss having me as a backup detailing vendor. He said he already had a primary, but was interested in talking to me.

He was letting Euro cars into the main drag well after the start. Never did see any coffee, but did pick up a job from an existing customer that was there, a matte silver Benz, so not a total waste

I hope you do get business out of the event. Everyone knows you do superb work.

It's pretty obviously a Euro-only show, for cars that are never driven, so I won't be there again. After all, who go look at cars that aren't half as good-looking as my '67 Vette and are mere static displays.

The low points of the C&C were a Bentley or Aston done up in day-glo watermelon wrap and a white Lambo with black pin striping along its many creases. On the positive side, they DID drive them up all the way from Tijuana, so probably got the "long distance" awards.
