I'd suggest since we'll have a decect sized group that we park a little further down the row of spots closer to the Fox and Hound and away from Panera so we can park together.

I'll make a lunch reservation on Friday once we get a full count. If you have a lunch? next to your name or I've mis-stated your attendance at lunch please post up or let me know.
Dave,

Thanks for organizing this on the Lexus forum. I also like the fact that you are going to make an "entrence". Looking forward to seeing you and Krista again, especially the 911 if the weather holds up. I posted this on about 10 additional forums as well as the www.carsandcoffeecharlotte.com website this should be a blast. Let's keep it growing!

Michael

That is the beauty of this event, if it rolls bring it! It is not just about high end fancy cars. Check out the website (www.carsandcoffeecharlotte.com) and you will see that everybody is welcome and eveyone has a great time regardless of your purchase price! As long as you love your car and love to look at other cool hardware you are in the right place. See you there!

Weather for Saturday looks AWESOME (especially compared to the suprise snow we had today). 65 degrees and sunny by mid day - will probably still be a little chilly when we show up.

Absolutely, no problems. I'm probably not bringing a Lexus at all (911 and M3)

Hello Fellow Car Nuts!,

Cars and Coffee is this Saturday, Feb 7th (1st Sat) 9 am- until!
Panera Bread @ North Lake Mall ext 18 (Harris Blvd) off I-776801 North Lake Mall Drive Charlotte NC 28216

I looks as if the weather will be spot on for Saturday! Low of 36 F and High of 65%, a perfect day to stretch the 'legs' of your favorite ride after a long winter's nap!

This being our third event word has really spread. I have gotten responses from numerous sites, forums and web blasts. We may top close to 100+ cars with the feed back already, and this is ahead of my predictions of topping that number in the summer months.

Remember that we are trying to fill the lot closer to "Fox and Hound" 1st because it does not get the regular traffic that early. If we need extra space we can start filling in between Jared's and Panera if we have to. Try to back in the spaces if you can.

I look forward to seeing everyone and everyone's cars. Please be careful in your travel up and respect the site that we are borrowing. It should be a blast!

See you Saturday!

Michael

We're on.

I made "reservations" at On the Border for 20 people at noon. I'll take a recount of who is going to grab lunch around 11:15 and call them to update the count.. they don't offer real reservations, just have call ahead seating but our name is on the list.
