Just letting all Bay Area enthusiasts know about my current favorite car meet. Dozens of classic, exotic and collectible cars get together every first Sunday of the month in the Blackhawk Plaza of Danville, CA. It runs from 8am to about 10 and they even bribe you with coffee and cookies. It almost lets you forget its Monday the next day.
I hope to bring my C55 out with the Ghia next time.

Show turnout is better than ever, check it out if you are near the East Bay!!

The last couple months have been awesome for Blackhawk Cars and Coffee:

Is this a different meet than the other one or did this one change locations? There appears to be one on the first Sunday of each month in Novato also.

This particular meet has always been in the Blackhawk Plaza of Danville.
I haven't been to the Novato meet, but I know that there is an SF Cars & Coffee that meets on Pier 32.

The Blackhawk Cars & Coffee meet is Tomorrow at 8am, hope you can make it!

I wasn't able to make it to this one but I will definitely come to one of them. I recently relocated from LA to Northern California so it will be nice to make some new friends up here.

This one is a lot closer to me than the other Cars and Coffee meet. They seem to always meet at the exact same time. See link below:

That looks like great fun!
Blackhawk had a great turnout this time, including the new Alfa 4C:


Hope you can make it soon!

JDM_SXE-10

I will try to make the next one. If anybody is heading up there from the Santa Clara area, let me know. I am always up for a caravan.

The law finally whipped it out this time around:
Exciting though, to say the least!

Everything from the Countach, a Diablo VT, and a Huracan came out to represent Lamborghini this month:

December was an awesome turnout!!

All,

Who is coming out to BlackHawk this Sunday 01/04/15 ?

Let's get more AMG cars out there!!!!

I'll see you there ghiaguy!

I may actually wash my car this time. LOL!

Thanks!

ghiaguy

Haha! I'll be there for sure, hopefully representing with the C55...

MOFLO, got a nice shot of you joining the party last month, about two minutes in :

Hope to see an excellent turnout this weekend!!

Damn! I saw the video of the red M4 hopping the curb at the meet today. Kind of painful to watch.

MOFLO

Wow! Must of happened after I left.

Cold tires and no counter-steering = bad things will happen.

Have a feeling the local cops are going to be very strict for a few months on everyone after this situation...

MOFLO

Thanks ghiaguy and to Danny for the nice shots of my car!

I counted 7 AMG's at the meet this past Sunday scattered through the parking lots.

I got there around 8am and had to park with the Camaro group in the fourth row (not that there is anything wrong with that )

How early do we need to get there for a decent spot?

Thanks!

ghiaguy

It was the best AMG turnout to date! I brought the Ghia and C55 at about 7:20am and basically had my pick of the left hand lot (prime right side was about filled already). I overheard some guys in a 911 club (back row of the right lot) get there before 6:30!
Your CLK63 BS looked spectacular MOFLO- dig those meaty shoes you had on it!
Who had the C32 parked behind me (badass one with quad exhaust and Brabus wheels) and why the hell didn't I meet anybody?!?

MOFLO

We do need to get a bit more organized amongst the MB/AMG group for this event.

I can try getting there around 7:30 but any earlier is just too early for me.

Anyone going tomorrow 02/01/2015?? It will be my first time going to Cars & Coffee in Blackhawk

ghiaguy

Come out, it's a great time! I recommend getting there by 7:45 for a decent parking spot. At that time you will likely be parking in front of the theater, back into whatever available spot you want. Free coffee and cookies in front of Anthropologie and don't forget the Auto Museum tickets they hand out when you're driving in!

MOFLO

Ghiaguy,

Thanks! That is my track day setup. Definitely helps keep the power going to the ground and moving the car through the turns.

I couldn't make the C&C this past weekend or next the next one in March. Hopefully catch you guys in April!

Thanks!

ghiaguy

We missed ya this month Moflo! Though I did see a good turnout of AMGs including a nice black C55. I brought the Ghia yesterday and my Dad wanted to bring his new-to-him Cayenne S, so we were Merc-less...

Here are the complete January videos:

Unfortunately, they really put us on lock-down since the M4 accident. Cops are everywhere and there were even security guards patrolling to tell us we can no longer 'loiter' on the sidewalk filming car departures... Lame!

ghiaguy

Epic turnouts of over 700 cars these last two weeks in Blackhawk! Check out my coverage and I hope to see you out there next month if you're local

February Show:

March Departures:

Playing catch-up here, but hopefully I didn't miss you if you attended one of the last few meets.

Some video from the March show:

April departures:

May was EPIC; almost 1000 cars and Wayne Carini visiting!

It has been a bit, but I thought I might as well throw some fresh footage your way. Cars & Coffee Blackhawk is still the first Sunday of every month in the East Bay, about a half hour East of SF
