    After some speculations and planning, a community of exotic owners over on the Gulf Coast area thought it would be nice to turn their annual meets into something bigger and more meaningful... Cars & Coffee! This is the first ever establishment of Cars & Coffee down here on the Gulf Coast (Biloxi/Gautier MS area) so mark this down on your calendar and come on out!

    If you wish to stay in touch and receive live updates via Facebook, there is a community full of exotic owners that is based all along LA, MS, AL, and west FL area. That group can be seen below. Feel free to join!

    Awesome! We have a fairly good sized car-guy community up here in Hattiesburg, and we have always kicked around the idea of doing a C&C type event here, but it has never seemed to get going. I, and I am sure others, will surely attend some of these Gulf Coast events.

    Surprisingly, there's a lot of exotics all along the Gulf Coast and majority of them are active within the community. Always looking to meet up and take a cruise down the beach! I'm telling you guys, this is one meet you do not want to miss.

    I forgot to mention above that I have city council members and police officers involved so they will block traffic for cars going in and out throughout the whole event making sure everything is going smoothly.

    So glad to hear this is happening! I grew up in Ocean Springs but moved away my senior year of high school (7 years ago). As a kid, I would do anything to put my eyes on a Ferrari or an exotic and always looked forward to visiting my relatives up North, where I’d see more. But, surprisingly, I was not exotic deprived at all on the coast. In fact, I had two Ferraris (308 GTSi and 348 ts) and a replica Countach in my fairly modest, middle class neighborhood (Gulf Hills). And I could always count on seeing a Testarossa and a replica Daytona Spider at Cruising the Coast. My first ride in a Ferrari was going to the D’berville Walmart in the 348!

    Anyway, I’m happy to hear the community is alive and well. Hope to come back sometime soon!

    I drove my first Ferrari (F430) a couple of months ago for Scrapin' the Coast. Friend of mine who was no more than 21 yrs old bought it a couple of months prior (to STC) and he wanted to drive my Lotus Exige so swapped keys and boy let me tell you, it was a blast lol.

    Good to see the car community in Mississippi getting together. I'm in the Brandon area, but will try to make it down to a few of the meets.

    We have a pretty big list of exotics going so it's bound to be fun and exciting. Hope to see a couple of you guys attend the first chapter of Cars & Coffee Biloxi.

    My wife was Born and raised in Gautier so a trip down from Madison MS won't take much convincing. Is there a local Hotel that us "out of towners" might want to meet and greet at?

    Gulf coast cruise
    anyone ? Or Golf (fore) day event afterwards?

    ^ What he said lol. Beau Rivage is definitely one of my top picks. Golden Nugget (Isle Casino) is also one on my list to go ever since they opened up under a new management. If you guys are coming from afar, might as well take advantage of it and check out all the resorts and casinos here on the Gulf Coast!

    Kind of unexpected, but there will be a lot more people going than we had originally anticipated so parking might be an issue. I'll try to save you guys a spot so try to come early please.

    Again, I really appreciate each and everyone of you for coming out and supporting the coastal community!

    Just three Ferraris were present-- an F360, F430 and a black F360/F430 Spider. I wasn't sure about the spider because it showed up close to the end and I only saw it from a distance. The two red Ferraris were from Mobile, AL.
