Any interest in a Santa Clarita Cars-N-Coffee?

Here's a couple of shots from this morning. Had about a dozen Ferrari's as well as Porsche's, a Corvette and a few BWM's. Maybe about 25 - 30 cars in total.

We want to try this Route 66 location for another month (July 11th) and them make a decision on a permanent home to build this thing.

This started as a Ferrari gathering and we don't want to lose sight if that. The plan for next month is for "VIP" parking for Ferrari's in a row and the other side for other exotic's that want to join us. (for the sake of argument, we will consider Porsche as an "exotic"). What we don't want to happen is for this to be a muscle car event. They have their own event at the end of the month.

To keep this growing, let's keep promoting this to Ferrari owners and other exotics and see you all on July 11th!

To emphasize the European exotic nature of the monthly gathering, it was suggested changing it from a "cars and coffee" to "Exotics and Espressos". Sets us apart somewhat though the name Espressos and Exotics in used in Vegas for a car group.

Thanks toonfosi for the suggestion. Let the debate begin!

 

Interesting points. How exclusive do you want Exotics and Espressos - Santa Clarita to be? It's a limited market area so if limited strictly to exotics, participation will be limited and maybe not enough to carry the event long term. On the other hand, you don't want to fill it with muscle cars as that will kill the "exotic" nature and you lose those cars over the long term.

Personally, emphasis on the Exotics while allowing other high performance/limited production vehicles to participate. In my book that means providing the special section for the Ferrari's while having the Porsche's, BMW (M versions), Vipers, Audi (R8 only), etc. park on the other side and keeping the muscle cars out since they have their own events up there already on the last Sunday of the month.

 

We have had some "unofficial" drives for lunch afterwards and would need to keep it that way. FCA and FOG have insurance for these type of drives and ask everyone to sign waivers. As soon as someone starts organizing an official drive, liability comes into play. On a group gathering like this we need to keep drives unofficial.

Was is Shakespeare that wrote "Kill all the lawyers"?

 

Bumping for this Saturday. Depending on how late the Glendale party goes (see other thread) I may not make it, but carry on without me if I don't.

 

So what is the leaning of the group? Route 66 as a permanent home of Princessa Plaza (Via Princessa)? Is Route 66 getting away from the emphasis on Ferrari's? Is everyone ok with other brands showing up?

We need to set a permanent home so new comers don't get confused and so we can build on the publicity and grow the group.

FCA publishes in their calendar but we need to have the address.

 

Bumping for this Saturday. Doing the Route 66 location again for this month. See you there.
