I just arrived in LA, my new home, and I have tomorrow free. Sounds like a great excuse to drink some coffee and see some amazing autos at the Irvine Cars and Coffee. Anyone else here planning to attend?

My son is a grad student at UCI and I can't convince him to go over.

I'm jealous of the CA C&C scene. The guys around here with the rare vintage stuff keep it tucked away. C&C around here is usually newer "new money" kind of stuff--which is fine, but not like having Lussos and LP400S Countaches show up.

Irvine is basicly where cars and coffee started am I right? We get a good show in Richmond but in DC area I hear greatfalls is the place to be.

As someone who has always lived in flatland areas surrounded by trees, the open hillsides along Mulholland Drive are quite breathtaking.

I didn't take a lot of pictures, but the variety and number of head-turning cars was excellent. Not to mention, it's in a business parking lot, so aside from the car meetup, the area is quiet and clean. A few classic Ferraris, a lot of newer Italian iron, some classic Japanese cars, and quite a few Porsches, older BMWs (including a few gorgeous 3.0 csls), among many others.

The coffee and doughnuts were delicious and fresh, and when the show was over, I still had the full day ahead of me. I showed up at 7, and the show car lot was already full.
