Cars and Coffee Vancouver

Just a thought. I see the guys in the Cali section do a cars and coffee on Sunday mornings. Just wondering if any local guys would be intersted in getting together on Sunday mornings. Just a meet/greet type thing.

Todd's events are smth like this but .... not every weekend. Interesting how I thought bout Cars and Coffee just yesterday , Vancouver has many supercars....but .. maybe our guys are too busy.And one thing I noticed - yes , Cali has more supercars , but when I look at C&C pics , I see different cars all the time , and I always same people at Todd's events ( Diablo , Countach , CS' ....(not mention last one with 20+ cars)). Why there is not a lot of new/different people at Vancouver's event ? So many supercars on the streets but none of them join events.

 

i would be so happy if vancouver started a cars and coffee!

there would be always more and more cars because im sure alot of other people that are not on ferrarichat would find out about this.

thanks phil for bringing this idea up!

edit : for Vancouver im sure alot of people would agree that every week would be to much, but for example if it was like even 1 or 2 times a month that would be good.

 

How ? I think that's why there are not many new people on ANY Vancouver supercars related event - Fchat , BCthread is THE ONLY place here u can find Vancouver Supercar related Information

to Marcel's edit - If it's not every weekend it's just becomes Todd's event - his events are good , they are like once/twice a month during summer time ( and those events can only exist during summer time since Van is a city of rain )

 

yeah true, i only been to 1 of his events which was his last one, he usally has the CGT show up with some other car's, im already waiting for the winter to start and end, so summer again can start, i love summer and all the cars

 

I know it probably wasnt the best time to post this since its winter season starting...but just something to keep in mind for next year. I dont own an F-car so would probably be hard for me to organize anything like this. I would need some help.

 

leave it all to Todd

 

We pretty much all get together when we are free in the Spring and Summer, Even in the winter time we meet for dinner etc (no cars)

 

And there is also important difference between Cal in Van ( not mention that they have more Scars ) - they have C$C every week , so if Mr.X can't make it this weekend he don't loose anything , he just comes next weak and Here : Person who organize it say :" This saturday " and maybe 50% just can't make it THIS saturday , and next event is like next month ( probably they won't be able to make it again) . + Todd's events are made TO DRIVE supercars ( yup , they drink coffee but they live after ) and in Cal owners ( don't forget that those event are made for owners , not for us spotters ) just meet and talk etc.

And isn't it just enough to have a place and time ? lets say we make an event/meeting at parking lot ( or any other place which is not far and has parking place) , and we spread information that this will happen every week/2 weeks - no organizator , those who can make it , just come .That's how basicly we organized our street races back in Russia - everyone knew that every Saturday at place X u can race ur ricer and thats it. But how to "spread" this info ? forget bout Fchat , not every Scar owner is presented here

 

Ur events are superb ( especially for Van) but there is same cars ( most of the time ) and there is not a lot of them ( not mention last time )

and this

what makes a difference too

 

eh, I guess todd's meets are good enofe, but would be nice to see a cars and coffee...

 

Another point. I know a lot of owners like to keep these events low key. I for one am not a fan of car shows, theres only so long I can look at a car, I want to hear them and I want to drive them.

 

Basicly the difference is - in Cal they meet and stay , in Van they meet and leave for a ride

 

Are they Fchat members ( those u know) ?

 

what are you waiting for !! get all them to come there will be alot more cars and more action!! !

 

not many are. I think only a couple post on here. I know others just come on here to read.

 

ML84 : remember : events are for owners , not for spectators like me and u

Todd : so at least some of them read posts bout event , but just don't want to put extra kms on odometer

 

I'm for it, ill be there if we organize a meet.

 

but im sure you can always just come to take a view picture's if its alright with the people

 

im in if you guys can get it rolling. good lucky guys, organizing an event like this can be tough if your expecting 50+

 

I know Vancouver does not have a huge market for supercars...but getting something small together and organized can eventually draw more people in the future. I'll leave it up in the air right now and access it earlier next year when the weather is better.

 

thats what i was thinking, if the news spreads out threw Vancouver then more people will come.

 

I am in , need any help - ask ))

 

As am I, send a pm if you need anything

 

sniff, sniff - did I sniff the word coffee? I'm there!

Just arrange for dry weather (so I don't crack a nail putting the top up) and no salt residue on the roads (so I don't have to worry about the aluminum suspension bits needing to be treated in the spring again). And of course some good coffee. There's some great places on Commercial, but seems like wherever coffee is great, parking sucks...

Also a good place Kootenay and Hastings, and all Artagiano's are good.

I just pulled into Vegas, might be a battle to find good coffee here...
