IRVINE, ORANGE COUNTY, Cars and Coffee, 03/24/07

Place:
Cars and Coffee, Irvine, Cross Streets Irvine Center Drive and Gateway

Date:
Saturday, 03/24/07

Time:
7 a.m. - 9 a.m.


Let's see how many Mercedes-Benz we can get at the Cars and Coffee Show on Saturday, March 24! We will try to park on the far right side of the lot as you drive in, parallel to the I-5. We cannot hold any spaces so try to get there as close to 7 as possible. If all the spaces are filled, come and enjoy the cars anyway. Let's really make the three-pointed star shine at this event!

Any interest?

Any way we can plan an event after this one so that those of us who wake up around 10 could make? Maybe a luncheon? Cause I'd be down with that.
7am on Saturday is strictly forbidden.

Sorry that you won't be able to make it to the Irvine meet. It is a pretty awesome show. Unfortunately I didn't set the time for this - this is an already established car show and I know it is really early. Based on the interest of our MB group for this gathering, I will set up something on a Sunday around noon. Hopefully you will be able to join us then.

I love your signature line - pretty cool!!

OC Cars and Coffee

This is a thread bump.

Patty. I will make it for the start but need to be to work by 9:00 or so.

Just not a bunch of forum members liking the 7:00 AM Saturday
Irvine scene. It is a bit early. But the coffee is good. Nice cowd.
Got a few babes trolling. Plenty of cars. Just not enough Benz`s.

I think with some planning we can get a bigger turnout during the summertime.

Another Saturday Morning in Irvine.

I am going to make it early. I got to leave by 8:30 for work again.

Hope 03CL55AMG is there. Will try to park next to my fellow AMG
owner. Maybe we can get that car sold for him this week !

Vadim should be there. Wonder what he is going to bring.
Something 63 would be cool.

If SL-Chick can get her little head off her pillow this time we will see her too.

I will try to get a couple others not on this board. Lets hope for some SUN.
The June Gloom thing is a bit early in the season.

I look forward to meeting you guys too. Can't wait to check out the CLS63.

Mr. bltserv - Who can't get out of bed? Bad Boy indeed. I will beat you there - even though Rocket has lots more ponies than my Schnell.

Looks like we lost the SD crowd to another show down there. Too bad. Will have to try for another event to get them to come up.

I use to commute to UCI from Covina but I never had a class to be at 7am. But from personal experience, 7-10am is mad *** crazy traffic

^^ On a Saturday??? Going down the 5 S should be smooth....but I dunno how it would be like coming back, maybe a little congested, who knows, but waking up at 7 is a B*tch for me, but like I said if us OC people planned something at night like the Bay area guys do, then we'd really get things fun and cracking on Saturdays!!!

Hmm, that's a good question, the 57 should be fine going down South, but I have no idea about North in the mornings, all I know is 57 N gets packed later the day around 5, but that's on the weekdays...

OK. I use the freeways on Saturday morning to go to Orange and
sometimes to Santa Anita. NO TRAFFIC. Just be carefull with
your speed. After being used to crappy traffic I find my speedo somehow
gets to 100 very easy in light Traffic. One of the issues when
driving my SL55. Come on down.
Drive back will be easy too.
