A Gathering
On the third Saturday of each month there is a gathering of American muscle, exotics and of course the Great American Sports Car, it is called Cars and Coffee, held at the duPont Registry in St. Petersburg, Florida. This gathering is not a judged show, in fact it only last 2 hours. It starts at 7 am and ends at 9 am. Now how many people do you think will turn out for such a short event that early on a Saturday morning.
Well today there was over 300 cars of all types plus I was told by one of the organizers, they counted an additional 50 cars parked outside the show area, because there was no more room.
Here are just a few of the 100 pictuers I took. Hope you enjoy.
I will start with my 2001 6 speed coupe.

I always try to get up there for that event. Always neat cars and something different every month. I saw your car this morning and noticed your wheels. They look great.

Fantastic variety! I love my 'Vette but AC Cobras still make me drool.
I love how the Maserati has those phony Buick portholes on the side...ha....what a cheese....oops...ha....I guess those are real.
Kidding.....I've just seen so many cheesy applications of those stick-ons lately.

Thanks for the pics. I went out there a few months ago and had a prety good time even though it was an hour drive and really early in the morning lol. I would definitely go again if I was in the area.

Cars and Coffee takes place all across the country, FYI. Don't know where it started but I heard the guy that started it never sleeps and was in a mental institution. He's a great man. Have you heard of him?
Great pics!!

Woo Hoo!!!!! I made it in the photos!!!!!
Great event.
Did you know this actually started about two years ago in the Starbucks parking lot down the street?
Thanks for including my car. To be listed with all those others is a huge ego boost. (I'm the black vert in photo #5).
Amazing show and well worth getting up at 5am on a Saturday.
