Cars & Coffee happens once a
month, starting at 8AM and going til noon.
There's loads of coffee and other drinks
available, and even breakfast goodies if you
want them! And I think most of what you
pay for is in the form of donations for charity
as well, which is very cool. The
Dallas area event happens at Classic BMW in
Plano. If you're in the area on the first
Saturday of the month, check it out! There
was only one other Austin Healey this morning,
but fortunately he got there early enough to
still be able to grab the spot next to me :)
What's really awesome about
the show is that it's not just British cars...
and not even just old cars. It's all about
cars in general, old and new. So we got to
see an incredible variety of cars ranging from
1920's Fords to brand new Ferraris.
I would guess there were
maybe 400 cars this Saturday... jam packing the
huge parking lot off to the side of Classic BMW
where they do the event. They divide up
the lot by country flags. So there was
British flag section, Italian flag, Japanese,
etc. and you just went to your area and parked.
It's a neat way to keep all the car styles
somewhat together. I'm generally not a big
fan of Ferraris and Lamborghinis, but there was
no denying that the Italian section was quite an
amazing sight :)
Lots of amazing American iron
there as well... some of it just downright
breathtaking. And yes, you're seeing
correctly in one of the photos above... a YUGO!
We were in awe :) Who would have thought
that you'd see a Yugo here... with California
plates no less! And below... is that a '62
Chevy Wagon LIMO!? Why yes, I believe it
is :)
We didn't stay long this day,
but we still had a blast, and will definitely be
back once the temperature drops a bit... maybe
the September show. Next time, we'll be
setting up some chairs near the exit to watch,
and more importantly HEAR, some of these amazing
cars accelerating out of the parking lot as the
show winds down :)
