Sarasota Cars and Coffee

Attended a CC this morning. About 800 cars. Only two Astons out of all those cars - a DB11 (mine) and a DB9.

Some pics:



My DB11 receiving a little "police love"



A few pics of the hundreds of cars there:

Very nice....thanks for posting. To my eye, the DB11 just keeps getting better looking over time.

Unfortunately, here in Charlotte, we can't hold on to venues due to pre-adolescent "sending" (aka burnouts back in the day). Our local C&C has been moved at least 6 times in the past ten years, with long stretches of inactivity. A smaller European-only Cars & Cappuccino continues on w/o issue, along with countless car events throughout the greater metropolitan area. Car events seem to bring out the best in people (except for the idiotic exit performances) and it's always fun to see personalized and well-patinated cars. I am also encouraged by how many young people are passionate about cars, driving, and manual transmissions!

I was there this morning and saw your car, (it was hot, I didn’t stay long) the DB9 you mentioned is there every month and is a very nice car as well. That red Lusso you posted belongs to a guy I know.

Yeah, been going to CCs for a couple of decades now. The idiotic exits are universal. This CC in Florida isn't bad BC it is heavily policed, and it is deeply embedded in the spider web of a complex shopping mall, so by the time the idiot gets to a street where there are no cops, there is also no audience. Kinda kills their reason for the exit performance.

And yes, it is good to see so many younger (20 somethings) attend this. I especially see groups of younger guys. Every once in a while I'll eves drop on their conversations and they actually are talking about cars...VERY cool!

Oh, that's cool on the Lusso!

Yes, it was very hot. I always get there really early, like 6:30 and why some of my pics look like an empty lot as I catch pics before the lot fills.

Yes, I know the guy with the DB9, and yes, he is at every one. I see him at other smaller shows too like the ones in Lakewood Ranch main street shows. I usually go to every Sarasota CC but only put my car in half the time. So, sometimes I just park in the guest lots as it is easier in/out if I have to leave early.

All the Best!

When I leave UTC I normally go hang out with a group of car guys that are the ones that put on the Lakewood Ranch exotic show and the Ferrari show at St Armands, I normally end up working both of them to help them out, great group of guys that love to give back to the less fortunate, it doesn’t hurt that the leader of the group routinely lets me drive his Ferraris (he was there this morning with his F8, but also left early due to the heat)
