Cars and Coffee - West LA / Santa Monica Edition

[Chris-CXC]

Long-time lurker, first time-poster

A group of car guys decided to get a West LA / Santa Monica version going of the Irvine Cars and Coffee meet so we don't have to drive as far.

I'm not organizing it, but I thought I'd pass it along.

Location:
Coffee Bean
3150 Ocean Park Blvd
Santa Monica, CA 90405

Time: Every Saturday morning - 8:00am

Parking: The Coffee Bean is on the corner of a large parking lot/business park - there should be a good amount of space.


There has been a steadily rising number of cars there for several weeks. I think this might catch on.

See you guys out there!



...and yes, I will be bringing an NSX

 

[lustedp]

Nice, thanks for sharing.

 

[Theo1]

Will be there!

 

[RYU]

Thanks for sharing. I'll check it out.

Also want to check out that simulator of yours!

EDIT: Looks like this started recently (Jan 2011). I'll be curious to know if the parking lot owner is ok with the event.

 

[mike2la]

The weather is going to be nice this weekend so I will be there this Saturday.

May be we can get some others to show and may be do a drive afterwords?

I can't wake up that early... I need my beauty sleep.. lol :biggrin:

 

[livinglegend629]

I'll definitely be checking this out although I wont be showing up in an NSX (sorry guys).

 

[Moses]

Well I guess I couldn't wake up that early either. :biggrin:

So how did everything go, pictures?

Bad turnout. You didn't miss much.. Only 4 NSX showed, one M3, and a $700K rare italian classic. All together there were 6 cars total. We did have a nice little curse afterwords. Next time we'll just stick to the C&C and Super Car Sunday.

 

[nsx1]

I didn't know about this. I'll show up.

 

[Chris-CXC]

Hey Guys, sorry for dropping the ball on this one. I got strep this weekend and was down for the count

I think the turnout was a bit small because of all the whole Mclaren thing at the other Cars and Coffee. It's also still pretty new. I'll be there this weekend though, I promise!! I'll make sure a bunch of other people come as well.

To make up for my epic fail last week, everyone is welcome to follow me back to the shop for some simulator action if you like.

Again, very sorry

 

[Chris-CXC]

*Bump* for tomorrow

 

[RYU]

I should be able to make it.

 

[RYU]

Chris, great meeting everyone. Definitely not the crowd I expected, and that's a compliment. Also...I'm not one to over hype things but the after events MADE MY WKND

 

[Chris-CXC]

It was really great meeting you as well! I love your NSX Good fun on the simulators after!

It was a bit of a smaller event this week, but I guess it as because the weather report said it was supposed to rain Still a fantastic crows as you said though as you said.

 

[g3driver]

is this going to be every saturday?

 

[LMR]

Yeah, damn weather reports kept me away. I slept in till 9:00 only to wake up to a sunny day.

 

[Chris-CXC]

is this going to be every saturday?

That's the plan

 

[Chris-CXC]

Well, I got a couple of pictures off

I got so caught up talking to everyone, I forgot to take more.... Next time.

 

[Chris-CXC]

We have a show in at the Riverside Raceway Museum this weekend with the simulators, so I will miss today

I will see everyone next Saturday!
