Cars & Coffee - Irvine

[ae86_16v]

Lots of Ferraris today, thanks to Novass for the heads up about todays meet. I didn't take too many pictures of the Ferraris or any other regular "cars" or supercars, was just walking around taking pics of interesting vehicles. Of course there were plenty of supercars and exotics there.

They got some really really cool stuff there. But it was hard to get any real good shots, as you could see none of these are anything spectacular. This is more just sharing what I saw. :D

Enjoy :)

Not sure if the 1st one is real or not, but the 2nd one was from Superformance.

Both of these cars looked and sounded amazingly fast. The Viper had a HUGE blower and the C6 was a Lingenfelter. :)

[twboy1999]

awsome pics

especially the ferrari truck


looks like 2001 f1

[ZfrkS62]

:drool:

must....attend...

[HeilSvenska]

That's sweet. What kind of even is this?

[salegosse]

1 of 100. Guy had a Temporary 1 Day Permit to drive it on the streets

They are all, 1 of 100. :wink:

[Zot09]

Dude, I was there today as well!

I'll post my pictures later.

EDIT: The Enzo was freaking awesome, except for those ugly decals on it. The S65 also had the same ugly decals, but I guess that is what you would expect when a young guy owns(or at least) drives them.

[racingfreak]

Sweet pics :wink:

[TT]

Sucky to take good pics, but hell of a lineup :shock:

[dons5]

the f1 is later than 01 later then 02 aswell, unless they added all those winglests themselves. it has to be 03 or up

[a007apl]

:P

[sameerrao]

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing

[nthfinity]

Amazing cars there! Thanks for posting the pics.

What's this about requiring a permit to drive the CLK on the streets?

It isn't US street legal in DTM form... don't remember if its EPA, or crash testing, or safety like air bags...

thanks for the photos ... still waitin for the message Novass :)

[Smartdriver]

Some great Ferrari! :drool:
...and so much SL! :o

[StanAE86]

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing.

SoCal blows my mind. Where the F else are you going to find cars like that all in one spot, and at a rather frequent and regular event? Three prestine Gullwings, dealerships bringing out their Challenge cars, a unique maroon Gallardo sitting off on the side hardly recognized....sheesh...

Talk about jaded. :D

[No.1]

great pics there... Cobra's look stunning (replica or not) :drool:

[HeilSvenska]

Shoot. I misspelled in my post. So what kind of an event is this?

[Minacious]

It is a weekly event (Saturday) where exotics, one-offs, muscle cars and rare beauties show up to be ogled at. There is also one in the Valley on Sundays. The lineup is ever changing, though you get many of the same cars every week.

Dani, I preferred the Crystal Cove location. The scenery was just a lot nicer being right next to the ocean. You also got to hear many of these cars get on it as they left down PCH. The one big benefit of the current location is that it has a larger lot.

[novass]

Nice pics dude :D


EDIT: The Enzo was freaking awesome, except for those ugly decals on it. The S65 also had the same ugly decals, but I guess that is what you would expect when a young guy owns(or at least) drives them.

Next time we should all meet up and have a mini So Cal JW meet :mrgreen: Speaking of the guy in the Enzo, he looked like he was 4'2" and about 15 years old. He could hardly see over the wheel and he was driving around with his Ipod headphones in LOL


What an incredible car meet - they even bring F1 cars!! :shock: :D

For the ones that used to attend Crystal Cove regularly - what do you think of the new meet? less cars but better, more cars but worse, equal?

It really is a great show because you never know whats going to show up and the most random and rare cars often make appearances. Last week, which I missed, there was an Alfa Romeo Tipo 33-3 TT12 :x Like Minacious, I think the Crystal Cove spot was nicer scenery and weather wise but this spot is nice because it is a lot easier to get into, find parking, organize cars, etc. It was really nice in the beginning at this spot because everyone would do burnouts on the way out but the cops put a stop to that a while ago.


thanks for the photos ... still waitin for the message Novass :)

Sent. I just wanted to see if you had any info on the new Vector that they were making as I hadn't heard anything up until now. Then again, my short term memory is shit these days :lol:

It really is something isn't it :mrgreen:

Ill post whatever pics I got in a little bit, don't expect visual magic though. :lol:

[ae86_16v]

Hey Minacious, it was cool to meet up with you yesterday too. Are you gonna post up some pics too ;) .

Yeah, I wished I could've got more pics, but there were just too many people. You spend a lot of time waiting for people walking by, to an from the cars, etc. Towards the end, I just didn't care and just snap the shot anyways.

Yeah, the Gallardo, 1 Diablo, and 1 Murc were sitting in the corner by themselves. They still got a bit of attention though. But I should've spent more time with the Lambos. :(

About the DTM, yeah it is because it is a race car, so it technically isn't allow on the streets and the guy had to get a permit to drive it for 1 day. I wasn't saying it was No. 1 of 100, just that it was 1 of 100, don't know the serial number of it.

Total there were at least 40 to 50 Ferraris there, mostly of course were 360 Modenas and F430s, so I didn't bother to take too many of those. :)

Thanks for looking everyone.

[salegosse]

That's not correct, it's a road car. A Widebody version of the CLK inspired by the DTM version. It's heavy, fully optionned, has 4 seats, etc... a classic CLK so.


I wasn't saying it was No. 1 of 100, just that it was 1 of 100, don't know the serial number of it.

Ok :wink:

[Alan]

Fantastic supercars meeting!

Specially I love the 300sl. The only car meeting in the world where i can see more of three of this beauty all together is during the italian "Mille Miglia", that passes near to my home:

There I have counted about 10 of it in 2003/2004!

Ciao!

I have a shot of the gear shift lever(where they keep the serial number right?), but all it says is "CLK DTM One Out Of 100". :?

Actually, it only had two seats.

Definitely dude, I'm available almost every Saturday, it's just waking up that is hard :( haha

Yeah, the guy looked so small and young, did you see the car when it drove off? *drool*

The DTM sounded pretty damn good too when it drove off.

Don't HATE. :D You guys are just jealous. :lol:

Haha, but seriously, I am down for the next BIG meet. Let me know. Zot, will you be spending the summer back home in Monterey?

[TopGearNL]

Like I said in the other thread, great event!

So many nice cars present!

Nice to see the CLK-DTM there and the US muscle cars! :twisted:

[sentra_dude]

Damn, CC always impresses! There's something for everyone at that show. :D The Ferrari set-up is awesome, amazing that they brought an F1 car. The Ford GT looks stunning in the Gulf paint job. :shock: That is a wild red on the Gallardo, it really stands out. Awesome pics, thanks for sharing! 8)

[gangajas]

Amazing cars! :shock:

Thank you very much for the pics.

FYI, June 9th is Lambo day, so that should be fun. If I don't go before then, I will most likely go down for that.

[dutchmasterflex]

Nice coverage of what seemed to be an amazing event. Some very rare cars you have gotten to see!

Haha just a tad bit jealous :oops:

I will be spending a small part of my summer back home, but unfortunately the majority will be spent in Irvine for summer school :cry:

Let's have a California JW Meet/Cruise!

[stmoritzer]

Nice lineup, you made the best out of the crawded place, cool pics
