Cars & Coffee Irvine - 1/12
 

Calling the SoCal MB crew for a new year Cars & Coffee meet this Saturday? We already have a few cars rolling out. :y

We will be meeting at the Shell gas station parking lot at 6:45 sharp and roll to C&C together shortly after. For those who are up for it, we will be heading to the local Corner Bakery after C&C to grab a quick breakfast bite and then we will then do a group photo shoot, so feel free to bring your own cameras.

Also up as a option, a cruise through Laguna Canyon to PCH, then north on PCH through Newport Beach and Huntington Beach to Main Street.

Feel free to shoot me a text if you think you might be a bit delayed, and we will try to save you a parking spot with the group: 714-813-1800


6:45 AM Meeting point: Shell Gas Station Parking Lot 51 TECHNOLOGY DR, IRVINE, CALIFORNIA, 92618-2346

In

I'll be there.

Maybe for me.

What's the address of the Shell for out-of-towners?

its the mazda headquarter in irvine, right next to irvine spectrum

Is it 51 TECHNOLOGY DR, IRVINE, CALIFORNIA, 92618-2346, United States?

Just got word from a buddy that he is going to bring his Canon 60D camera w/ 28-135mm lens camera to do a little photo shoot after C&C. We usually grab a bite to eat close by after, and we can snap a few picks of the crew in the parking lot after.

Should get some great shots!

You got it. That is a good meet point and the parking lot is deserted at that time in the morning. We just go right around the corner for C&C. :y

I have been wanting to go to a C&C since i moved back to LA from Irvine. Will try and motivate to get up early and head down this Saturday.


Sam

Any plans for a cruise afterwards?

I may join you as well

Not as of yet, but I think we could do a Laguna Canyon rd to PCH, then up PCH through Newport to Huntington Beach if people are down for it. Could be a nice 20+ mile cruise.

What do you guys think?

I will be there.

Count me in too

Well damn, looks like it's going to be a good turn out. I'll be there too! What time is everyone showing up at the gas station?

I'll be there at the ungodly hour of 6:45

Hmm, looks like a very good turnout. I'm going to try to make it too but its soooo early!!!

So if we're getting there at 6:45, what time are we leaving the gas station? I just want to make sure we all get a parking spot.

No sh it, its a fawking sin to get up this early on a Saturday morning... but I think Im gonna make this one. :)

I'll be there too if everything works good
I'm picking up my car Friday morning from Benzworks

Wait... Im coming in the M5---- are you Benz guys gonna gangnam style me? :)

ahh hell the one time vic goes i cant go....gonna be in the OR all day

vic theres always 1-2 m5s there so youll be fine . lol

I hope you guys don't mind me crashing the party :)

See everyone bright and early will be driving down from LA

Count me in!

I am right there with you. Picking my car up from Benzworks Friday afternoon as well! Looks like Serge and the crew will be busy tomorrow. :D

And he is installing a carbon fiber front lip on my Turbo tomorrow!!

Looks like we will have a good amount of benz's rolling....looking forward to it :D

Can a C250 Coupe join in? :)

Of Course! Free to all!:D

Count me in. I may be the only 219.. as usual. lol

Added:y

I have cancelled my previous plans just to join you guys.

See you there.

+1 I'm in for sure!

How long do these last?

With so many of us coming out I would really like to make it but may have to push back other plans.

Right on guys! Added:y

It really lasts as long as you would like. The only time constraint is meeting at the Shell gas station at 6:45am sharp, and then after 5 min or so, we all cruise around the corner to the C&C parking lot together. You are free to roll out anytime or cruise to get a bite to eat after, whatever works for your schedule.

Hmm ok then, count me in! I just have to leave by 11 so 4 hours should be enough.

More then enough time for sure. C&C usually clears out well before 11.

Added!

FYI, many of the regulars are all in the Mazda lot before sunrise and many cars are leaving between 7:00 and 8:00.

Finding 15-20 contiguous parking spaces could be pretty tough by 6:45-7:00

I just have to ask.....WHY IS EVERYONE THERE SO EARLY!!!!????:smash:

This is possible, although in past instances we usually find the back row mostly empty before 7:00. I will be at Shell by 6:30 rallying the incoming troops. Hopefully we can roll out shortly after 6:45.

Lives to live, after coffee.

Cause no one goes out late Friday night :rolf:

You guys mind if we join? Thanks!

Weistec Engineering

Can we move this to February when my car arrives and I am in town? :rolf:

Looks like the turnout is going to be great. Hope you guys have a blast!

What do you guys think about doing a shoot afterwards?
KvK photography

A lot of older folks wake up real early. :)

Pls count me in :)

Absolutely! Planning to do a shoot after.


Of course! Thanks for making it out.


Added to the roster.

------


Due to the fantastic turnout, I will be at the Shell gas station around 6:20. As mentioned in a previous post, with such a large group, we will want to get to C&C as early as possible as to make sure we can accommodate space for everyone. Shoot me a text if you think you might not make 6:45 meeting time so we can try to save a space for you in the C&C lot.

Thank you everyone making it out!

Sweet you should be able to find me easily just look for the guy with craziest hair...90% chance thats me lol
Its not 100% sure im going but its looking good, ill know for sure around 6 or 7 tonight
ill PM you my number 360driver tonight if im going

if magnus walker shows up , his hair is wilder, lol

https://www.facebook.com/kyivk
You sure...lol:rolf:

OR all day?! You guys there in Cali do electives on weekends? It's pretty much weekdays only here in the Midwest.

Have you gotten your ride back or are you still rolling around in the C250?

count me in ill bring the wifes c63 coupe as well as the black.

Nice! Added!

Yeah gotta pay the bills, obama's not helping.....

still in the c250.....car is painful, the lag is so bad, its like the car dies and then suddenly comes to life and springs forward....i dont know why anyone would spend 40grand on that car, when u can get better honda accords or similar for less and get more to the car....or atleast get the 6 cyl for sure....

i believe they are going to change the air bellows which sit at the side of the struts, do both sides and let me know in the morning if it retained air....


what field are u in...

im sure
http://ralfbecker.com/storage/post-i...=1338394643203

Ha nice
So its confirmed im going so if I can get a shoot in with you guys! :)
Me & my little 280 lol

Alright, twist my rubber arm.... ScottW911 is right! The lot will be PACKED by 6:45. They should call this event "Cars & CrackHeads" the last time I went, the main lot was totally full by 6:00am!!! Perhaps we should consider parking "as a group" in the secondary lot so that we can all park together? ;-) Just a thought... It might be easier to save spots.... It's the lot to the left vs. the right once you are in the main driveway....Thoughts?

-Kimmy

I'll be there. People meeting still at 6:45 or earlier? I will only be there to view others cars since my C250 is brand new and mostly stock. (only black factory grill) But definitely want to see some of these amazing machines in person and talk to some of you folks.

-Matt

I will be at the Shell gas station around 6:30, but if we can roll out promptly at 6:45, or as close to it as possible, that would be great. The first lot might be full, but we will see how it goes.

It will still be a killer time and we will get some great shots!

See you all tomorrow!! :y

didn't get a chance to get a car wash today hope I am not shunned for the 63 being a little

I don't know everyone's handles on here... according to Facebook we are rallying the troops.

Going:

LuckyKimmy + a few others..
Charlie Davis
Uzzi Chowdhry*

Maybe:
Marisa Clark
Aaron Harris Cohen
Christie Wilde Rogers

Sounds Great! Being only 16 I am in love with this car and can't wait to get some mod ideas from all these great cars. Just hope my C250 isn't completely shunned. lol oh well See you all tomorrow

from what ive heard that tommorrow is a special marque day, my bro says ferrari will be there in packs and spaces might be very limited.

theres nothing tho stopping you guys from going in at at 5 or 530 :)

Good morning gentlemen, we are a bit early and this place is getting crowded. We are in he back side of the lot (only place with 20-30 spots). Look out for a silver SLS, black E55, and a black CLK BS. See you guys soon!

Weistec Engineering

It was great to meet with the group at C&C this morning. The Weistec guys were nice enough to share their beautiful cars with us (Thanks Steve) and the rest of the collection was amazing. I felt so...insignificant with my little C32.

Anyway, I wanted to share a few shots from the meet. I am sure that better shots will be posted soon after.

no e63s?

Nope. There was an E55 from Weistec.

Looks like a big turn-out from the pixs. I guess that's usual with SoCal car meets.

I take care of the kids and inevitably, many times, the parents...I tell everyone, it's like veterinary medicine most of the time.

It was great meeting you guys, I look forward to the next meet and cruise!
I'm supper tires still and as a result kinda lazy about posting on here and MBjunkies with better quality photos... lol so your stuck with the link from FB for the moment
