Default Cars and Coffee v.11.13 *Top Gear Edition*

This weekends Cars and Coffee could have gone by many names; Turbine Edition, Jaguar C-X75 edition, Supra Edition, Camaro edition, or SEMA edition. All of them equally describe the event.

The Jaguar C-X75 Advance Electric Supercar Concept made its North American debut this weekend. It's such an amazing car to see in person. It is truly stunning. It won the crowd award hands down. A close second was the Top Gear taxi fleet that came to promote Top Gear USA. They handed out Top Gear T-shirts as well as issues of Motor Trend magazine.

There was also a gaggle of Supra's (Supri?) that showed up, as well as a ton of new Camaros many which seemed to be SEMA vehicles.

The size of the crowd this weekend was just insane. They seemed to keep coming in droves. You'd see groups of 10 or 20 walking towards the event parking lot, which is really unusual. All 400 show spots where filled by 7am and cars had to wait in line to get in as others left. It was quite remarkable when you think about it. Even as crowded as it was everyone seemed to behave very well. There was no douche of the day award needed to be handed this weekend.

Even as half-dead as I was from the lack of sleep, lack of food and the cold I have I still enjoyed my self pretty well at Cars and Coffee this weekend.

Anyways, here are the much awaited picks of the pics:

Are you kidding me? The CX75 was there? Had I known I would have dropped everything and made my way up to Irvine. Is there any way of knowing when cars like these will show up beforehand?

Not really. That's the beauty of the whole thing.

Well considering the LA auto show is currently going on, This past weekend was a good bet, along with this coming weekend.

I love Cars & Coffee. One of the best things about living in So. Cal. Maybe this is contributing to the high priced real estate.

Good times; I live only a few miles away but this was my first cars & coffee run of 2010. The Jaguar people were there interviewing about the CX-75 and I made the video in a couple of spots!
