I\u2019m a regular at Cars and Coffee Carlsbad, a relatively small get-together, yet featuring some very cool cars. I\u2019ve been hearing for months now how Cars and Coffee Irvine is an amazing show \u2013 the bee\u2019s knees of cars and coffee gatherings. So, when our friends from San Diego Car Enthusiasts (SDCE) club told me that they were headed up there for Labor Day Weekend Saturday, I couldn\u2019t resist. Keep reading for the story and all the photos…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Never in a million years could I have expected to see a Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari F40, McLaren MP4-12C, Lamborghini Aventador, Lamborghini Diablo, Lamborghini Countach… \u00a0ALL IN THE SAME PLACE…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Given I\u2019m a little further North than the SDCE guys, I left earlier hoping to meet them up in OC. Mike and I arrived in my Mazda MX5 NC around 6:15AM, after leaving Carlsbad shy of 5:30AM. That was the best thing we could\u2019ve done. By 6:30 there was barely any space left in the Mazda North America Operations parking lot where the show is held every Saturday. While you can arrive at just about any time between 7 and 9AM in Carlsbad at the Outlet Mall, in Irvine, if you get there too late you won\u2019t be able to bring your car in and you will have to park outside. There is however a neat multi-story parking lot next door where spectators and overflow can park to attend the show. So, if you spent the entire Friday night detailing and waxing your show car and then woke up late because you were too tired, your piece of work might end up confined to the multi-story lot.<\/p>\n
