Sat. 5/30: Cars and Coffee Comes to TX!

[m topls]

http://www.carsandcoffee.info/images/main_logo.jpg

The legendary Cars and Coffee™ (http://usa.carsandcoffee.info/) event with its roots in southern California is making its Texas debut on Saturday, May 30, from 8am-12noon! Sometimes called the world’s most diverse automobile museum with locations in the US and Europe, Cars and Coffee is the premier gathering of auto enthusiasts that come together to feed their addiction to cars, caffeine and high-octane gasoline.

Starting on Saturday, May 30, Cars and Coffee will be held in the DFW area on the last Saturday of every month from 8am-12noon at Classic BMW in Plano, Texas in the northwest corner of the parking lot. Please plan to join hundreds of proud drivers from the Dallas/Fort Worth area and beyond to congregate with like-minded aficionados and novices alike to share thoughts on a common passion. All types of cars are welcome to attend and there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

It’s all free minus the hot Starbucks coffee -- donations for the coffee will be accepted on behalf of the Greater Dallas Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association (http://www.alz.org/greaterdallas/).

Date: Saturday, May 30 (last Saturday of every month)
Time: 8am – 12noon
Location:
Classic BMW (northwest corner of the parking lot)
6800 Dallas Parkway
Plano, TX 75024

A little history: Cars and Coffee began simply as the congregating of auto enthusiasts in Crystal Cove, California, in 2005. The group began meeting so that members who were united through a common passion could share their cars with each other in an environment where they were comfortable enough to ask questions, learn, and experience the joys of such a variety of talents, minds, and especially, cars.

Nah, these guys are serious they start at 8 AM ! :thumbsup2: still plenty of time to shoot over to the zone too....

[Qship5]

Nah, these guys are serious they start at 8 AM !

Hence the need for all the caffeine.

[Crash]

8am-12pm. Some people bail out at about noon for lunch. I'm gonna have to not drink the night before this.

[QDOG]

Where do you hear about all this stuff Karen?

[TiptronicSoldier]

I would love to go but I have to go watch my younger sister graduate from college in Rhode Izzy..... :thumbsup2::thumbsup2:

No one goes to Mexico anymore, they have that pig virus.

[Qship5]

Can the pig virus catch a HPF M3???

[RaceMX-M3]

Can the pig virus catch a HPF M3???

No but everyone else is scared so I'll be in Mexico by myself. :dontknow:

[QDOG]

I will let the M3 try to catch me..... I need about 1/8 mile head start? Is that ok Scott? :hahaha:

[QDOG]

Can the pig virus catch a HPF M3???

a pig just needs to radio in his buddies and he can catch anything hahah!:thumbsup2:

[Fubar]

I am still a little disappointed that Classic would compete so directly with our meet. There is no need for them to support our site if they sponsor this one.

[snowball]

You usually don't show up untill 11AM anyway, - theirs starts at 8AM and is only once a month! So those who really want can do both. :thumbsup2:

[TiptronicSoldier]

No one goes to Mexico anymore, they have that pig virus.

I haven't been over to Mexico lately, has the swine really gotten that bad over there?

[Fubar]

We use to show up at 9 a.m. but it just got later and later.

c'est la vie.

Come on now, this town is big for both to have meets.
Their's is only once a month, different time and it is for a good cause. :thumbsup2:
If you guy's collected for a charity, I could see some conflict, but you don't, so where's the harm???:confused:

[imaj]

Why are you going at 9:00am...I read on this site that the start time is 10:00 to 12:00...No?

[snowball]

Why are you going at 9:00am...I read on this site that the start time is 10:00 to 12:00...No?

Because we used to start at 9 am a few years ago, even before this forum existed. ;)

[Carlos]

Sheesh, I can't even make 10....

[RaceMX-M3]

Why are you going at 9:00am...I read on this site that the start time is 10:00 to 12:00...No?

It was 9am originally and nobody showed until 9:30 - 10:00 so we just changed it to 10. I think 10-12 works well (some of us meet for breakfast before).

[Qship5]

So is anyone stopping by the C&C event before heading to our meet?

[snowball]

So is anyone stopping by the C&C event before heading to our meet?

Yep, I'll be there at opening - 8:30 AM, maybe even a little sooner. ;)

[Qship5]

Cool...I might try to swing by.

[RaceMX-M3]

[QDOG]

Crippled my ass..you would be fine if you would learn to jack of with either hand then you wouldn't work the right one so hard.

IN!

[Qship5]

Yeah, Fubar is just worried that his Ford won't stand up to the original Gulf colors of yours. :thumbsup2:

[m topls]

So is anyone stopping by the C&C event before heading to our meet?

Wish I could attend the first C&C, but I won't be back in town until Saturday night (so I'll also be missing our regular meet this Saturday). Hopefully I'll be in town for the next C&C at the end of June.

Wish I could feel sorry for you karen, but laying on the beach all day and hanging at the daquiri bar all night doesn't gather much sympathy!!!:D

[Fubar]

No question...one of 500 cars.

[Qship5]

It is a rare car and looked great! I also liked the SL 65 BS and the pretty much original GT40. Some of the older cars were really sweet as well.:thumbsup2:

[Qship5]

Great turnout this morning! The only ironic thing was when we went to get coffee they were out! How does "Cars & Coffee" run out of coffee:questionmark::questionmark::questionmark:

Lord I hope you didn't think it was original because of the tool driving it...

That was an SPF REPLICA built in South Africa. While close to the originals in size its not a real one...closest real one in Dallas is sitting over at Sam Pak's meuseum in Carrollton. Thats a Mark V that was built in 1980 off the original jigs by Safir. They do carry a P number and are recognized as coming from the original tooling.

On the SPF The paint has already peeled on it and when I saw it last it was drying out inside because the seller of them left it open in a rain storm.

That was an SPF REPLICA built in South Africa. While close to the originals in size its not a real one...closest real one in Dallas is sitting over at Sam Pak's meuseum in Carrollton. Thats a Mark V that was built in 1980 off the original jigs by Safir. They do carry a P number and are recognized as coming from the original tooling.

On the SPF The paint has already peeled on it and when I saw it last it was drying out inside because the seller of them left it open in a rain storm.

:laugh: Tell us how you really feel.

I thought I heard the owner tell somebody it was the "real deal". :hmmmm2: Sometimes I wish I didn't know as much as I do about classic domestics. I really wanted to bust the owners imaginary bubble.

I thought Mark's original AC Cobra was the nicest car there.

[427Aggie]

Yep and he drives it too...for those that didn't know that silver/blue cobra was a real 427...figure somewhere around 1-1.3M for that car...and the owner drives it to every car show..its his second cobra he had a white 289 before this.

And to answer you question about Creel..I won't even walk within 10 feet of the sleezeball..makes my skin crawl.

And, just fyi.....the black "Speedster" is also a replica. Looks to be a very well done replica though and pretty cool looking anyway. Instant tipoff is the fact it has windows....the orig.s have pop-in side curtains that are guaranteed to leak.

...but the purple cobra was all original.

[Qship5]

Original GT40? Do you mean the Superformance replica?

Yes, that's why I referred to it as the "almost original"

[AMG]

I really wanted to make it out since classic is just down the street from me, but working long hours over the weekends kill it for me :(

Will try to make it out next month

Obviously the guy driving it was talking some BS then as he was basically saying it was in essence a restored original serial numbered car. A bit different than the way you are describing it.

[427Aggie]

If you see him again and get talking to him ask him when it was made and see how many parts are from 1965. Why is it fiberglass? Why does it have a new Keith Craft motor when the originals had Holman Moodies in them? He's a tool...I avoid him because he's an idiot and just trying to sell cars.

This was by far one of the best shows I've been to since living here.

That is the consensus. I was out of town doing some track prep at Oak Hill....

When/Where is the next one?

[imaj]

I believe the Cars and Coffee event is on the last Saturday of each month at the same BMW dealership.

[mpulse]

I like the F ENZO plate!! That is great!!

Which Oak Hill track? The MX track in Decatur?

[Rlhay2]

For some reason I thought that cars and coffee changed venues.

If not sooner, see you at the end of the month!

The road course in Oak Hill, TX off FM1716. When I'm not playing with the car I can be found doing this: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3096/2691439116_b08e56a12a_m_d.jpg
