FOr these type events are we expected to arrive in a show worthy car or is showing up to drink coffee and look over special cars acceptable?

In other news.... It has come to my attention that an automotive marketing firm that goes by carsandcoffee.info has followed my trail to the Hampton Roads area. I originally approached them when thinking about starting the Cars & Coffee idea here in Va Beach thinking they had some kind of ownership rights to the name; they do not. They offered to sell me a marketing package for $3500 and I kindly declined. Of late I have received phone calls asking me to discuss my "operation" with them and discuss the use of the name. It turns out they sold their marketing package to a local car dealership franchise. I just wanted to bring it up to everyone's attention if you start seeing anything about Cars and Coffee Hampton Roads.... they are not the same thing. Please continue to see Cars and Coffee Virginia Beach and the C&C VB facebook group for any info and updates. The next gathering will be June 5th as planned at La Promenade. Thank You, Brian Bowers |

I registered a couple of sites. I got emails saying I had their domain, I told them I have it and they don't. Then they wanted to join forces to share the domain and my reply was less than positive. They finally gave up and moved on. |
They run a site called carsandcoffee.info and I contacted them when I had the idea originally thinking they had some type of ownership rights; they don't. Here's the package they wanted to sell me for $3500/yr.. note the part where they explicitly say they do not have rigthts to the "Cars & Coffee" name:

Yet they have hired some independent local marketing firm called seven (something) marketing to call and bug me... basically I told them I didn't want their product, they saw the good turnout/interest, then sent someone here to sell their "package" to somebody. They're more than welcome to do that... it's tacky, but to call me and try and tell me I can't use the cars and coffee words is unprofessional. I know for a fact that they do not have it trademarked... a gentleman in GA does. |
Oh.... I just purchased carsandcoffee-hamptonroads.com and hamptonroadscarsandcoffee.com to go with my existing carsandcoffeevb.com, carsandcoffeevabeach.com, and carsandcoffeevirginiabeach.com

Thanks Brian. My car is a mess at the moment. If the bay doesn't lay down I won't be out fishing so this would be make an excellent start to my Saturday. John |
Don't forget this is TOMORROW. I will see ya'll there.
If I disappear and don't say anything to ya'll, I am not being rude or anti-social, I have a (VERY POINTLESS) Safety Meeting I have to go to for work at 10am |
Congrats on the new Sticky Status! :rep:
