Really not sure if this has been mentioned here before or not. Sorry if it has, I must have missed it.
All you car gear heads, does anyone know anything about the Cars and Coffee monthly meet in Plano? I was just looking at wfaa.com and clicked on a pic link to this car show. They had 86 great pictures of some incredible cars of all flavors. I recognized the original silver 427 Cobra from another show I stumbled onto a few years ago at White Rock Lake. I was even telling my 13 year old step son about that Cobra just last week! Weird...
Anyway, the pic link says nothing about where in Plano it is. It just says it's the first Saturday of the month. You should check out the wfaa.com website and kill some time oogling at some awesome cars. It's obviously very popular, there were a ton of cool cars on display and the place looked really crowded with people. Neat stuff.
If you know details let the rest of us know. Looks like a good excuse to get up early on a Saturday, check out some pregnant dogin' hardware and go ride to a favorite breakfast spot. [thumbsup]
been mentioned before and is absolutely amazing, at least the last show this past Saturday. probably in excess of 200 cars from Lambo's, TR6 Triumph's, original 67 Cobra & Jaguar just to mention a few. No need to arrive at 8 anymore because the thing has grown so much that they loiter until around 11.
OK.... ah, where is it? From 8:00 to when again?
It's at the big BMW place (Classic?)
Getting there earlier is better. They had a Veyron this time, Porsche Carrera, Arial Atom, quite a few Italians and of course tons of old and new Mustangs and Camaros with cool wheels and stereos....
They had a beautiful Alfa 8C there too for the Italian fans (stock photo):

Also saw a 2-strokes Saab 96 rally car leaving, some great vintage British iron (MG's, Jags, Healy's) Definitely make the next one, it was very cool (if a bit crowded). People were parkign in the office complex just north of the dealer (Tollway and Spring Creek)

Apparently the first Saturday of every month... I think. Any back up on that? ???
correct.

Sounds fun. I guess we should polish our Ducs and show up, huh? Or do you think all the folks driving cars with names ending in "i" would feel threatened? [moto]
Sounds like a perfect opportunity for some formation flying (I would say, "low-level formation flying" but that's such a softball even Muskrat would be all over it...) [cheeky]
As it starts winding down, the cars slowly start departing the exit towards the tollway.
A crowd starts forming around that exit and it turns into a cool car parade... [clap]
(we snuck out the backway... I figured if something embarrassing was to happen, that would be the place... [cheeky])
Anyone interested in going this Saturday?

ME ME ME ME
Wish I could go, looks really cool. Timing is not good this weekend. But I'll work on it.
If I work noon to nine I may make an early show.
I can't afford a car that can go as fast as my Duc. Even if I could it would still be a cage. :P Are many hooligans showing up at these events? I've never been, so please go for me and post a full report.
UJ and I are in for the show around 9am, then a short hop to brunch at http://www.themainbakery.com/ (http://www.themainbakery.com/) about a mile away at the shops of legacy. Good breakfast and nice patio seating where you can gaze at your bikes [thumbsup]
Parking is a challenge at C&C, but on 2 wheels it is much easier to find a slot.
Count me in. I love this kind of stuff. Makes me think I should go in my Thunderbird, but the bike is always more fun. A chance to ride before the temperature goes above 1 friggen hundred.
I'm in. Meet at bank?

What bank? Do I need a ski mask?
Legacy & Dallas North Tollway (SE corner). no ski mask necessary BUT I was thinking of hitting 455 loop and then to car show since it starts at 9 now instead of 7 a.m.
Thoughts?

It's like 2 blocks from the cars and coffee... looking for the grand entry? [moto]
Remember, it's your turn to bring the Ducati flag and carry it around... [cheeky]
it's all about the entrance!
I'm in. Guess I need to clean the bug guts off the Hyper if we're making a grand entrance... [thumbsup]
I'm trying to think of that corner... Isn't there a furniture place there? Robb and Stucky, or something like that?
no farther down on Preston. It's Weirs and they are at Preston just south of Spring Creek

Geography/shopping lesson: The Robb and Stucky is at Legacy & the tollway, southeast corner... [coffee]

Legacy & Dallas North Tollway (SE corner).
That's what I thought... [thumbsup]
Okay, I think I have this right. I'll be at SE corner of Legacy and DNTollway, at a bank. 8:30 Saturday morning.
Sound right?
