Not a good sign, usually means stolen or being used without permission. Be Careful please, cars &coffee in LA and Dallas have had issues with good people being set up to have their toys taken from them. These were organized groups who shopped the C&C for the vehicles they were looking to steal. Sucks that you have to be on guard at an event but if anyone starts asking to many details of where do you work, or what community you live in be careful.

 

Sorry I missed it today. Ready to attend more of these....

Warren - agree, I don't tell people too much. Getting the car out of the garage is their least worry, its getting out alive. Haha.

 

Last year, I was told that this event originated with a few locals, mostly doctors, getting together to talk about cars on a Saturday morning. They had Saturday office hours, so preferred to get together early, so they could get to the office.

Another reason for the scheduled time is, this is a working business complex parking lot. Getting the cars out of the lots by 9AM, or shortly thereafter, keeps it from being objectionable to the other tenants. (As it is, a Chiropractor on the lower lot has office hours every other Saturday. He has had issues with us parking in his dedicated patient parking spaces. We try not to be a nuisance to the locals.)

What I tell people is, once we are in full swing for the year -- and I think we're there already -- you'll have to get there by 7:30AM to get a parking spot on the main parking lot. Alternatively, late risers can come by closer to 8:30AM, when some people have left, freeing up parking spaces. For instance, the Cobra guys typically get to Great Falls early, but leave for their breakfast meeting in Vienna between 8:00 and 8:30AM. That can be between 5 and 10 spaces, right there.

My first C&C, looking forward to attending many more. Haven't seen so many nice, high end, personally owned vehicles in one spot since I used to cruise the Daikoku Futo rest area in Japan.

 

Sorry I missed it this week, but I did want to mention that I had a 2006 Ford GT stolen from my garage a little while ago and if anyone sees it at Katie's to please bring it back to me. Now, it could be painted any color by now and I'm sure the thief, because of their compromised mental state, will swear up and down that it's his car. He may even have documentation, but don't be fooled. Please use whatever force necessary to get the keys and bring the car to me. I may have also lost a Ferrari F40.

 

I think it's going to be a little cool this weeknd but if it's dry I will be there!

 

, Ok, I got it. Yes I am a little overly cautious, chalk it up to my work surroundings.

 

It's well worth it, trust me!

7:30am will be too late once it gets really nice outside. My first time going last year, I rode with someone else and we got there at 7:00am on the dot and we had to park on the side almost down near Bank of America.

 

Warren, this was in NO WAY addressed to your point, which I thought was very helpful. I just thought it was funny thing to say.

 

Must not drink friday.

Must get up early.

 

Chris you going this Saturday?
I sold the yellow charger and got something new

Will this weekend be a big turnout?

 

I am gonna try to make it out to this, have to to one in Fairlakes but never been to Great Falls.. hopefully weather will be nice.

 

Unfortunately I won't be making it this coming Saturday. I'm gonna finish getting my new apartment all set up and will be doing photos of my friend's Mustang.

Is that white F430 a Scud? Great pics as always, still can't believe I've never made it to any of these.
