Cars & Coffee April 2010 (56K be forewarned)

With Cars & Coffee entering it's 11th month running, we broke the records with 700+ cars featuring a Veyron, 8C, GT3 RS, Vipers, Vettes, Ferraris, Twin Turbo Diablo, etc. With this came an array of some of the craziest people we have ever had leading to 2 local cops having their hands full.

Now, I am still in the process of getting the photos done & when they are, 56K users may want to grab a bite. But, I do want to share with you what I've grabbed so far, so please, enjoy until I can get the full show to you guys. And before you ask for full car shots, please understand that I try to take more time working on them as there's a lot going on compared to these shots. Thanks.
Hi-Res is available upon request; just ask.

Please let me know what you think so I know where to keep going with the rest.

Where the hell are my pics?! Jk man, that was a great meet, Nelson showed up like 5 seconds after you left talking we with me. Also apparently Mark (RUF 87) was there...That meet was hilarious. That Solstice was pretty banged up and the accident was apparently bad. The funniest thing, "Hey man, wanna wrap your Lotus?"

He came out, and both the cops that monitor our speed were signing tickets. The Solstice came out into the middle of 3 lanes, fish tails it, over corrects WAYYYY too much, hops the curb and runs into a wall...lightly. He had, at most, fender damage...

Wow 700+ cars. We get a lot of nice cars here in the irvine cars and coffee. There's a Bugatti that comes out once in a while, i think it may be dealer owned not sure. But we get the usual ferrari's lambo's aston's and the bimmer's porsche' american muscle and classics. Last month and Enzo and reventon came out, I cant believe i missed that meet!!

I've always wanted to go to the one in Irvine.

I know someone in Monterey who goes to C&C every now and then. He always comes back with nice pictures with very nice cars.

Not hating here, that's pretty much all I do when you get down to it.


Just woke up, still finishing up.

That looked more than lightly running into the wall. I could hear and see it smack the wall. Hahahaha he deserves whatever damage for being a dumbass.

You would think he would make sure he knows how to do that before he actually attempts it

Unless he attempted it once before, nailed it and thought he was PRO!
...in that case epic fail!

Haha. The guy didn't seem that bad. But ya...it was quite a fail. One time, an AC Cobra hopped the curb around that exact area, but he didn't hit the wall, just hopped the curb.

So why don't cops camp out there and give half the people wreckless driving tickets?

I wouldn't if I was a cop but I was just wondering.

Lol, we have 2 undercover cops and this time a panda as well (white/black Tahoe cop car). They were all busy giving out tickets. Once they are all gone, people leave as fast a possible so do crazy shit. Although cops didn't show up til September, my guess is they saw the video of the AC Cobra and deemed it dangerous. Also it is the only public video of them taking off...









<--------Holy crap! 1000 already!
