I guess it's not an "official Cars and Coffee" meeting spot
Yea I don't think it's really a "Cars and Coffee" sponsored event. I think someone got the idea from the Charlotte meet and decided it would be a good idea to do it in Raleigh.. Makes sense to me since there are alot of nice cars in this area. Apparently it's been going on since last year, but I just heard about it the other day from a buddy of mine.

I might have to drive over again for this. Last month was a blast and I can't imagine what sort of cars will be coming out of the woodwork for this one.

Time does fly. I just realized it was April a little while ago when my coworker asked if I wanted passes to the Auto Fair in a couple of weeks...totally forgot it was time for that (and by default, this).

Doubt I'll make this one, but the turn out should be great because, as JB said, it'll be in the 80's and sunny.

Through the grapevine I've been hearing about a Raleigh C&C. I'm going tomorrow morning to see how it turns out. Keep your eyes open in Car Talk for a picture recap.

I'm also considering making the Charlotte C&C next month (May). Anybody planning on attending that one? I'm hoping the weather will cooperate like last time.

LOL. Most I've ever seen is about a handful. Unless people from this site attend, there really isn't much of an Acura showing.

Then again I know when we attend, we're not there looking for Acura's . It's cool to meet up with forum members, but I'm more interested in the other cars

Thumbs up

Official Update:

Charlotte Cars and Coffee at the Lake
Exotics/Sports Cars/Classics/Bikes/4x4

Saturday May 1, 2010
8 am- until

North Lake Mall (I-77 Ext 18)
Panera Bread Co. (Between Panera and Fox and Hound)
6801 North Lake Mall Drive- Charlotte NC 28216
704.921.0013

Weather Permitting... See you there!

The pollen is starting to subside here in Charlotte so those of us with dark cars are more than willing to come out and put the "shoe and shine" back on our cars. It was a pleasure seeing so many familiar faces and several new ones at April's C&C event. We had several new cars which always is a plus in addition to the regular rides that we have. Let's shoot for May being the biggest month yet, don't forget to tell a friend or co-worker that is car crazy. It will be a great time!

For those interested in another great event the same day, GMP Performance is having their annual THAWOUT event on Friday April 30th/ Saturday May 1st. You may want to caravan to 710 Pressley Road, Charlotte NC 28217 afterwords to see an impressive shop and maybe pick up some new toys for your toy! You can pre-register on www.gmpperformance.com and check out the activities going on Saturday there!

The summer months are setting in and I see many more of us out for evening cruises during the week! It is the best time of the year to enjoy our rides! Now it is time once again for C&C and as we plan for vacations keep the 1st of the month open if possible! We had several new cars which always is a plus in addition to the regular rides that we have. Let's shoot for June being the biggest month yet, don't forget to tell a friend or co-worker that is car crazy. It will be a great time!

^ I think I saw you drive by! I was actually talking to some of the Lotus guys and saw your silver TL roll by. I even said to my wife... hey look, a TL... wonder if he's from the forum. Based on your profile pic... looks like it may have been you

Anyway, great turnout again this month. Very much looking forward to July's since the cars typically come out in full force on the holiday weekends!

Funny enough, as the car went by I inspected it to see if it had any acurazine.com stickers. Didn't see any so wasn't sure if it was just an Acura, or if it was a member from here!

From Acurazine? It varies. May have a couple, may have a dozen or so.

In general there are hundreds of people there.... and tons of cars. Last month's event (June 5th) spilled over into another parking lot... so it was well attended to say the least!

Damn it sounds like I've been missing out on some big meets! The Raleigh ones have been good recently but it's nowhere as large as the Charlotte one.

^ Yeah, June's was huge. Biggest turnout I have seen. There were even 3 tailored, nicely modded Camaros and Challengers from a local company. There was also a Bentley Continental Supersport with dealer temp plates on it! The Bentley rep brought it specifically for the show as it was not even at the dealer showrooms yet!!

This was my first C&C event and I was absolutely amazed at the enormous turnout for this gathering. Didn't really stop and talk to people much as I was to busy walking around taking in all the nice cars that showed up. It's been a while since I have seen an NSX in person and there were 3 and definitely reconfirms my desire to own one of these during my lifetime although the Porsche CaymanS is right up there with it.

Juniorbean saw your post in the 'front end protection thread' so posted response in both. Yeah sorry I was there with my dad walking around checking out all the cars so I wasn't around my car much really at all till he left around 10 which is around when I met up with Eric. I should be at the next one so maybe I will see you there unless there are any other meets in the local area. I haven't been able to find a real active local Charlotte, NC car forum.

^ Yeah, I saw your post in there!

As for the C&C meet... one or two of the NSX's were not there this month... but that yellow one was new to me... so they must rotate

But you're right... huge turnout! August will probably be a little smaller since a lot of people are typically away, but I'll bet it's still pretty good!
