Cars and Coffee Irvine, CA

I'd like to see some of the socal crew with nice W124s (ie CHRIS PHAM and OZOPERA HINT HINT) at this event. Every Saturday am 7am-9am at the Mazda Campus at 7905 Gateway Blvd, Irvine, CA 92618. I come up from San Diego so no excuses from guys closer to Irvine that its too early!! I'm usually with the Porsche people because I bring my euro 911 and my w124 is just not that unique (yet) but it would be great to see more MB's there. I'm probably going this Saturday.

PS this is exactly why I moved to socal....where else can you see an Enzo Ferrari and a Porsche 959 (both seen at Cars and Coffee) being driven around in DECEMBER!!!

I live in Irvine, and that is right down the street from me, My 124 is a work in progress but I could definitely make one of those events.

thanks!

Damn! Are you going this weekend or another?

Plan it and I will try to come out but damn I usually sleep in on the weekends since I'm up at 5AM every day during the week for the Markets for work. I live in Newport too so it's not too far either

I probably will be going this weekend since I can't go the next. I usually stop through Laguna or Newport on the way back for brunch. I've never once regretted getting up early for this....its always an impressive showing. Chris your MB will attract attention I'm sure....if you are going to show your car you have to be there early (by 7am) otherwise the large lot will be full already.

Nice Chris....cant wait to see the 18s on your car. I just put the new Yokos on my 17" staggered amg 215 45 17 F 235 40 17 R. This setup looks aggressive on the car and keeps my wheel diameter fairly uniform. I'll take new pics once I change out my spring pads

Yes it sure did and I'll have it available for all my socal peeps to use. I plan on having more than one MB for sure so its a worthwhile investment since all MB's have the same screwy narrow springs.
