Wow!
Very simply stated, but a great description for the turn out at "Charlotte Area Cars and Coffee" Saturday! We were fortunate to have great weather and it brought everyone out in droves! I stopped counting at well over 180+ cars as we spilled over to the adjacent parking lot.
Several special additions to the event were the numerous Corvettes, Minis, NSXs, Lotus, Porsches, Ferraris (CAFE), Subies, S2000s, Aston Martins, BMWs, Cameros, Firebirds, Lexus and many, many more. I know a great time was had by all enjoying beautiful cars and conversing with other "car fanatics".
I look forward to the weather continuing to get better and our next event which will be Saturday, March 7 at the same location. Pictures will be posted on www.carsandcoffeecharlotte.com soon, feel free to log onto the forum on there as well to chat and to post pictures that you took as well.
As this event continues to grow and in order to keep it safe, fun and in tact we need to make sure of a few things:
Thanks again for a great turn out. Hope to see you all next month and remember to tell a friend!
Have a great month!

As this event continues to grow and in order to keep it safe, fun and in tact we need to make sure of a few things:
- I would like to push up the start time to 8 AM so that we can avoid the hot part of the day as we get into the summer months. It will also allow us to take advantage of the empty adjacent lots if we need them before the patrons and employees of the restaurants start rolling in around 11 AM.
- We are now on the radar screen of the Mecklenburg Police Dept's North Division, which is not a problem because we are on mall property which we have permission to be on, but on the access roads leading to the property and the main highway they will be patrolling 'helping' us adhere to the speed limits. The road behind the mall is a great straight away but it is only 35 mph and some have been popped there. So be cautious and slow down a bit. Also as a mature crowd continue not to peel out, race through the parking lots or ignore common safety.
- In order to say within the good graces of the mall management company please be kind and dispose of your trash in the trash cans around the property. We are doing a great job so far, so keep it up! I spoke with them and they are willing to add additional receptacle as needed.
Thanks again for a great turn out. Hope to see you all next month and remember to tell a friend!
Have a great month!
