Title: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rennsurfer on April 07, 2008, 22:19:31 pm Quoted from Cal Look forum:
yes, if I can make it out, I will come on down from Simi in my '67, love to hang out with you guys and pore over the stuff I keep hearing about down there....Muiras, GTO's, Carrera 4-cams... etc. cool picture of your '67 Mark!!!! Looks perfect. Jim, that sounds totally cool. Dunno if you've ever been. But you wanna get there by 7am and get a good spot to park. Everyone usually bails at around 9am. Lots of great cars of all types. Here are some shots that I took from a few weeks back. Dave Mason's black car was there that day, as well. http://carsandcoffee.info/forum/showthread.php?t=488 (http://carsandcoffee.info/forum/showthread.php?t=488) I'm not a real big fan of every British car made, but I couldn't get enough of the green Aston Martin Zagato. WOW! What a car. Also, thanks for the compliments regarding my car, Jim. Worked on it for thirteen days/nights straight. Now, it's time to save up for the engine. Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Jim Ratto on April 07, 2008, 22:32:39 pm To be wealthy and into cars.... must be the life...
That Aston Zagato is gorgeous, bet it sounded good too. This past weekend, my wife and I made our pilgrimage up to Pismo, S.L.O. and Cambria. We usually take a ride up Hwy 1 to see the elephant seal colony just north of Hearst Castle. We did Saturday and while staring at the seals we hear this seires of howling downshifts, and into the gravel parking lot pull 4 F360's, 3 F430s and the big, brand new 599GTB.... all of them pieces of art. I'm going to try to make it this weekend Mark, I'll let you guys know by Thursday ;D Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rennsurfer on April 07, 2008, 22:36:18 pm NICE! I know that you were from up north, but back when I was married up until the mid '90s, we'd always wait for summer to end then drive up the coast and stay in Pismo, Shell, and Cambria beaches. GOOD TIMES! Epic drives along with some good waves. Saw lots of big seals and elephant seals, too. My sons were really little back then, but they still remember the fun we had. I love the central coast.
Yeah, just post up if you're gonna head down for C&C. That would be cool to see a few people from The Lounge there. Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Tony M on April 07, 2008, 22:43:11 pm Just saw on tv a show about your coffee & cars - pretty cool - looked like a lot of very nice cars
Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rick Meredith on April 08, 2008, 07:25:42 am I'm up for C&C and maybe afterwards, I know a great place where we can grab some breakfast.

Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Jim Ratto on April 08, 2008, 16:43:13 pm hey guys, I'm going to try to make it.... but would have to zoom home after. Still upside down in finishing baby's room and we're getting down to the home stretch. I'll pm you guys later......

hopefully see you bright and early. Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rick Meredith on April 11, 2008, 00:37:46 am Is the 5 or 405 better for you Jim??
Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Jim Ratto on April 11, 2008, 00:45:55 am at 6am? I guess 405 would be better?
Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rick Meredith on April 11, 2008, 00:58:45 am Ok take the 405 south.
Get off and Irvine Center Drive and go left. Right on Alton Pkwy Left on Gateway. First driveway on the right is for spectators and second driveway on the right is where all the cool kids park. Rick Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Jim Ratto on April 11, 2008, 01:01:29 am so I go in the right driveway?
Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rick Meredith on April 11, 2008, 01:15:09 am You get to park with the cool kids in the second driveway on the right... I get to park with the uncool kids in the first parking lot.

Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rennsurfer on April 15, 2008, 05:40:48 am Not too early on THAT day. It got really hot rather early. Ended up not wanting to skate or do much of anything, the next day. That was even hotter. Saw Danny Gabbard at the Vet's Auto Swap Meet in Long Beach.
I added a few more pics that I forgot about on the C & C site. http://carsandcoffee.info/forum/showthread.php?t=582 (http://carsandcoffee.info/forum/showthread.php?t=582) Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rick Meredith on April 15, 2008, 05:44:12 am Nice Photos Mark!
Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rennsurfer on April 15, 2008, 14:21:21 pm Nice Photos Mark! Thanks, Rick. Those are a great way to start a Saturday. That breakfast was pretty hearty, too. Thanks for the tip. We're always on the lookout for good eateries. [Homer voice]Mmmm, foood.[/Homer voice] Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rick Meredith on April 16, 2008, 00:04:48 am Yes that place is pretty good... It's only been open about 3 months... I dread the day that people find it. Then it will be hard to get in.

Then, let it be written, and let it be said... it's ON. Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rennsurfer on May 20, 2008, 00:28:36 am Well... I just got some great news from the C&C people. I usually don't win things at any contest or raffle. Typically... no, always... that is reserved for my girlfriend. She's lucky at every raffle/contest type thing that she's attending. Today, it's finally my turn. I just opened my e-mail and turns out that I won two tickets to this place:
http://www.k1speed.com/ (http://www.k1speed.com/) STOKED! Can't wait to get out there and see what happens. Haven't driven go-karts since my boys were in grade school. Used to take them on their birthdays. Much thanks and appreciation goin' out to C&C for making my day. (edit) WOW! These people are just too cool... just found out that it also includes two drivers' licenses. [Borat's voice]Very niiice.[/Borat's voice] Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rick Meredith on May 20, 2008, 02:10:58 am Wow... I've never seen a place for signing up for anything there. Congratulations!
Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rennsurfer on May 20, 2008, 03:01:20 am Yeah, that's just it... I never enter contests because I never win. And I'm okay w/that. But this was simply a random drawing. I think the only criteria was that the people/members had to have a minimum of twelve or twenty posts. I forgot. Anyhoo... pretty cool, nonetheless. I'm STOKED!
Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: team97 on May 28, 2008, 20:43:26 pm Weather was crappy on saturday morning but a couple of us made it to cars and coffee. It turned out to be a pretty nice day for a cruise.

;D Actually, we were in Arizona for my nephew's graduation all weekend. I have to meet one of the C&C webmasters, there, this Saturday morning to collect my tickets that I won. So I'll be there. Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rennsurfer on June 01, 2008, 02:46:01 am Some shots that I took at C&C, this morning. Saw Glenn's Bug out there today, but not him.

thanks ;D Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rennsurfer on June 02, 2008, 06:40:46 am hey mark did you take some more pics of the M6? Sorry Nicolas... the only shot that I took of the M6 was the front one. The car looked like basic white. There was the other Bimmer that was kinda light beige or off white, but that's a 5 series with Italian or some other European front side lenses. That's the shot with the front Euro plate. If I see that white M6 next time, I'll gladly take some more detailed shots of it. Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: nicolas on June 02, 2008, 11:32:41 am thanks. i really like M6's as they have a special look all of their own. the more i drive my dads car, the more i want one some day. but there are other BMW's that i like more, like a 2002tii,...
Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Zach Gomulka on June 02, 2008, 15:56:47 pm I saw this CSL during the '05 Classic weekend. Cool cars, but I'd rather have a 2002tii turbo :)
Title: Re: Cars & Coffee in Irvine, So Cal Post by: Rennsurfer on June 03, 2008, 06:57:53 am That silver CS is a great lookin' car. The big two door Bimmers were always my fave models when I was growing up. Thanks for sharing, Zach.
