Nationwide & Local (Katies) Cars & Coffee History
Hey guys!
The hype building over this weekends GT-R invasion at the Katies Meet got me wondering about the history of the meet itself, and I realized that not only was there limited information on our local event, but no single source for how the entire nationwide Cars and Coffee movement started to begin with.
I thought the info would provide value/be of interest to the community, so I decided to throw it all down in one centralized spot (specifically in the about section): http://katiescarsandcoffee.com/
If anybody has any more detail to add, I'd be happy to add it to the site!

Very cool! Its funny I was out in San Francisco on my ship a few months ago. I had the morning off since I maneuvered all night. Got off looking for a brunch and a local cars and coffee .... no dice on the C&C. This is nice for anyone out of town and wants to have a normal saturday morning!

Yo - Did you check out the cars and coffee history submenu on the site? The entire history from the Donut Derelics, to Crystal Cove, to Irvine to modern day cars n coffee madness is described in detail!
BTW - I wish I could have made it to the Aston Museum event - I'm sure that was awesome!!

If I'm not mistaken - some local group (not local to this area) staked a legal claim to the term "Cars and Coffee" in the context and filed lawsuits against some groups who were using it to describe their local meets.

Check out my thread something like... 'Simeone Museum - Aston Martin 100 year centennial...etc...' in either mid atlantic or Aston Martin forum for details bro

This is a brilliant website and a real asset, big props for all the work that went in to it! The map alone is invaluable for planning (just used it 2 minutes ago).
On a side note, I don't know what sort of options your photo album software has but if it could be tagged and searchable that would be awesome as people could type in a make/model and BAM! shiny photos of the car grace their eyes.

I think you are right Estoril. I know Hunt Valley horsepower made a move regarding that very issue. From what I see now, a quick google search turns up a Gillion cars & coffee websites and FaceBook Pages - everything from Bakersfield C&C, to virginia beach C&C, to Portland CC and more. Would be interesting to find out with the scoop with that is - time to do some digging!

Anyways, thanks dude! Robert and I (Dude with the pic of the Lotus's *** aka OP) put the site up last week and it's already been warmly welcomed by the community! After getting asked a gagillion questions on CarLoveDC about Katie's, details, costs, etc... it was a given to pay homage to literally the #1 C&C in the area... and a great place to refer people back to when they wanted more info (I can't begin to tell you the #1 of times I've asked someone if they'ed attended Katie's and they look at me like I just referred a strip club to them...)
Anyways, the map was also a given... people have no clue where to park, and that's because no one told them! Hopefully a little organization can go a long way in growing one of the most epic meets in the area!!
