Cars & Coffee

Saturday I attend the world famous Cars & Coffee in Irvine, CA. This is my favorite weekly event in Southern California. You never know what you are going to see which makes each week exciting. I have noticed that the parking lot is always full of Corvettes and Porsches. For more information on Cars & Coffee and other weekly car cruises go to http://www.socalcarculture.com/.

Fun in the Sun

Tamara, Adam and I enjoyed the start of our summer weather here in Southern California on Saturday. We started our morning at Cars & Coffee in style with Nate and Mike from the Mercedes Benz Classic Center in a 1972 Mercedes-Benz 600 4d Sedan 936 and 170H 2d Convertible rear-engine. There we passed out the latest of the Hagerty's Magazine - The Camaro Craze. If you haven't seen a Hagerty's Magazine check it out online http://www.hagerty.com/lifestyle/hobby_article.aspx?id=42288.

2010 Lotus Evora makes a stop at Cars & Coffee. I really like the new body style. It is much bigger.

2010 Lotus Evora in red, I think this one better than the black. What do you think?

Our next stop for the day was the Fontana Speedway. This was my first time to any race track, so I was excited. It was very cool to walk around the pits full of race cars, drivers and pit crews. The energy was in full force and the smell of tires burning was in the air.

Looking good LA office!

I think you had to have a Mustang to be in this pit.

Can you say fast? That is what they look like to me.

The final stop of the day was Michelle Herrera's automotive photography exhibit at the Bistango Restaurant in Irvine. Bistango has been displaying international artists there for over 20 years. Michelle said she was honored to have her work featured in their beautiful gallery. There was a large crowd of enthusiasts to honor Michelle's amazing work.

My favorite of Michelle's work on display that day. I wonder how much she would sell it to me for?

Cars and Coffee Pictures

Cars and Coffee never lets me down. It was another show packed with cars and spectators. See the pictures below through my lens.



I love the paint job on this hot rod because you would always be able to spot it in a parking lot....even at Disneyland!



I am in a Porsche phase. I want to be able to look at a car and know exactly what year it is. So I am starting with Porsche .Then maybe I will move on to Cadillacs.



This is my friend Art's car. It is a street legal formula 1 car.



For you Corvette lovers I am sorry to say you missed out if you weren't at Cars and Coffee this weekend. Count it 11 in a row and there were plenty more in the parking lot.

Cars and Coffee

If you don't have plans every Saturday morning, check out Cars and Coffee in Irvine at the Ford Center. That is where I will be tomorrow. I think it is one of the best car shows in Orange County and it's all over by 9am. If you are going to show off your car, be sure to get there by 6:30am. I heard last week they turned people away by 7am because the lot was full. For more information go to http://irvine.carsandcoffee.info/. See you there.
