I thought it was a pretty decent turnout for the first one. We need to get more Vettes out there.

I agree, great to see you guys, even those that drive Mustangs as a daily driver.

I was glad I was able to check out your Z06, someone has been working on it to keep it so clean, it looks like new.

Hey all - New to the forum... Let me introduce myself.. My name is Sam but on the Z Car forums where I hang out - I am DarkPath...

I am also the Event Organizer for Cars & Coffee - Williamsburg.



I took a moment this afternoon to google C&C Wmsburg and it brought me to your site - where I've enjoyed reading your comments regarding C&C. I thought perhaps it would be appropriate - Now that I'm able - to formally invite you all to the next C&C Williamsburg. By the end of our 2nd event this past Saturday the 18th approximately 8 Vettes had helped fill the parking lot. Along with a string of BMWs and of course a sprinkling of Bentleys and Ferrarris... One zealous car enthusiast with a 2005 Corvette came all the way from Alabama! - So feel WELCOME to come on out in Oct on the 16th for our next event.. We can easily accommodate 25 more Vettes in the space we've been allotted.



Hope to see you at an event in Historic Colonial Williamsburg real soon.

Thanks for putting this together Sam. Glad I got to meet you last weekend.

Thanks for stopping by the Barn Sam. It was great meeting you Saturday.

Thanks for putting this together. So glad I don't have to drive to VABeach to hang out and see some cars.

Well, Thank you all for the warm reception... (and the rep pts!) While IMHO Cars & Coffee is off to a great start. Kudos go to a hand full of you all for helping to make that so. I am sure over time it'll get bigger and better... Logo & Web development is underway, and while that seems to be a slow process - I guarantee we will make steady progress.

A few of you were in attendance to vote on an enhancement to our monthly meets which I felt were well received... Specifically - that we attendees choose the hottest vehicle at each event - and then once every 6 months (March & Sept) we organize a half day event (vice 2hr C&C) to show them off. Speaking of the vote.. I've since had some feedback on the Vehicle Pick of the Day we voted unanimously affirmative on... It was suggested that we also choose an Alternate Vehicle Pick of the Day, in case one of the Chosen Vehicles can't make it on the day of the 6hr event. For those of you unfamiliar with Terra (our host for C&C) There is a nice brick courtyard there in front with a picturesque fountain in the center. The management has graciously offered it for our use for events like the one described above.

Thanks for your efforts (Jeff & Josh & others I'm sure) Your help getting the word out has been both effective & greatly appreciated. I'll hope to meet many more of you at some future event... the sooner the better.

This will perhaps help you recognize me around town... and of course at the C&C events...




Having difficulty finding us on Facebook (@Cars & Coffee - Williamsburg)? PM me your Facebook name I will send you a personal invite.

Don't forget to mark your calendars - The next Cars & Coffee event is Oct 16th. Hope you all can make it! Aught to be a great meet now that the fall weather has arrived. Come on out and see what makes Cars & Coffee Williamsburg the place to be on a Saturday morning!

[SurfnSun]

I have some parts being made by Lingenfelter for a new CAI, I should get them next week sometime but I will wait until after the C&C to install.

Looks like nice cool weather for the ride to Williamsburg tomorrow. I have to be at work in the morning so I can not stay long, love those 80 hour work weeks. If I can manage to get my butt out of bed, I plan on showing up @ WB C&C around 8AM.

See you there

Hey Greenman...
Called Jose on my way home from New England on the weekend. He tells me your car pulled the majority of votes from those in attendance to be chosen Car of the Day! I knew it would be sooner than later... Hope to see you at the next event so that I can congratulate you in person! Glad you could make it afterall!

Cool, I wish I could have stayed but I had to head into work.

[DarkPath]

Don't forget to mark your calendars for the 20th. Looks like we'll squeak under the wire for this months event - just before Thanksgiving. Look forward to seeing old friends and meeting the new ones who made the event this past month. Can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday (morning).

BTW Cars and Coffee - Williamsburg is on Facebook - if you haven't done so already - feel free to friend your way in - its open to the public and it will help you stay on top of the month to month events.

See you there

But be aware that Cars & Coffee doesn't include coffee -- at least it didn't in October. The sponsoring coffee shop doesn't open until 11 am. Dress warm!

I hate coffee but love cool cars, I hope I can make it.

This is the first I have heard about this... (I am the original event coordinator for the Williamsburg venue) Are you talking about Cars and Coffee Williamsburg? There's been 3 events so far, and though I was out of town for this last most recent event on Oct 16 - Julius had staffed Terra at 8 AM on the two previous events. Everyone seemed to really like the facilities there. I was totally unaware that we'd had a sponsor issue... Some one PM the details (if there were any known) to me.. The event runs from 8 - 10 so I don't know how many details there are to be had if Terra staff didn't show up till 11.

Given there are any details to challenge them with - I'll call Terra this week and confirm that we'll have access to the facilities for the November event... I'll get back to every one on the status. Dependent on what they say I'll post information regarding the next event.

Sorry for the issue. This is the first mention of it that I was made aware of... (I did see a BYOC comment - but I didn't know what to make of it - because there were no other details till this one above)
