Cars and Coffee was amazing this past Saturday, definitely the single best show I have ever been to (not to say they haven't occurred). For Father's Day, the reserved area was reserved for the Ford Design Invitational, so the selection of cars was insane.

Toyota brought out the FT-1:

They also parked an LFA behind the parking garage:

There was a Lancia Delta Integrale:

And a D-Type (alongside a few E-Types):

A P1 and and Enzo showed up:

This crazy Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM "Coupe Super Sport Speziale" by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! :

The line for the show area was the longest I have seen there (less than half the line is visible in this shot):

Loads of glorious JDM action:

Edited to add this glorious Hakosuka:

Lots of Italians:

I also had the fortune of meeting up with !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and some nice folks from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! / !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! before the show. Unfortunately, obligations prevented me from joining in on the drive and showroom tour part of the day, so pictures of their awesome showroom will be some other day.

They brought out this amazing stainless-steel Caterham Seven:

The owner of Hillbank, Lance, even ended up changing his plans last minute, upon hearing how packed the show was, and brought over a bunch more cars than they had originally planned to:

They brought matching Gulf GT40s (I don't have a shot of both):

These shots just scratch the surface, check out my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for the rest.

Dear god that must've been awesome.

Dude I'm jealous. I get excited over racecar minivans and the only Lambo that even comes.

There are some classics sometimes but other than that just people's DDs/tuners

Haha, I can only assume you mean John Hennessey, in which case, no (not the famous one, at least).

Unless, of course, you mean the Finnish rock band HIM, in which case, also no.

Yes, it was an amazing show, especially as I hadn't been in a while.

Hehe when people ask you if you're related to John Hennessey you should always say yes, that would be hilarious.

I feel like seeing so much crazy stuff takes away from my appreciation a bit. I definitely take it for granted (I am sure a lot of people here are guilty of that though)!

I even used the "$kaybait" tag! I feel like there was almost too much to see, I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off! That Alfa was definitely high on my list, though, I had never seen anything like it.

Thanks for the tag! That was quite a car show, for sure.

Thanks for posting these! I'll be in the OC the weekend of 7/19. I'd love to meet up if you're going to be there!

I need to get back to the Irvine C&C again.

Yeah, I think I have seen this particular 2000GT there before (or just one in the same color).

S H: now with more letters! > Where have all the lightweights gone? 06/17/2014 at 15:53

Yeah, I'd definitely be down to meet up if I end up going! I used to go weekly, but I only go once a month or so now.

I always seem to find out about them after the fact.. Do they ever have them in San Diego?

Cars and Coffee Irvine is every week, people start getting there at like five or so, but the earliest I have ever been was this week, when I got there at six.

There is a Cars and Coffee in Carlsbad at the Outlets every Saturday, as well, I have only gone once, but it had some cool stuff (PCA goes every third Saturday, I think [though I may be wrong]).

Also, Symbolic Motors hosts a Cars and Coffee in San Diego every few months, the next event is this upcoming Saturday. It will be my first time going to that one, but all the pictures I have seen of the show are awesome, so I am excited to finally attend.

Symbolic Motors may recognize me from my face being pressed up on their window anytime I go to LaJolla. I think the problem is these things happen way earlier than I am willing to wake up on an off day....I may try to make it down there though. that one isn't too far from Camp Ontop.

i've been bugging the mclaren dealership a few blocks away to see if they're having a p1 come through, ever, and they will not fucking tell me...assclowns...i won't touch it, or breathe on it, hell, i won't even come inside — i just wanna see it

Damn. I went to look at this instead. Is there some place where people talk about what kind of cars are going to be there? I know the official forum rarely has people talking on it.

S H: now with more letters! > Pessimippopotamus 06/17/2014 at 18:04

I never really bother to look at the forum, I am assuming it was so crazy because of Father's Day, though.
