No posts for almost two months ... used to be at least weekly, with photos etc.
Still every Saturday, rain or shine. Even snow back in February. Had 200 cars last weekend, maybe half that today in the mist. Steve usually posts the pictures, but have not seen him for several weeks. Likely busy with family. We have a very active Facebook group for the event. http://www.facebook.com/groups/PDXCandC/
On Sept 20th the parking lot where Cars & Coffee is normally held will be is scheduled to be repaved. Property management has asked us to move our gathering to the west side of the building where Starbucks is located. If it is raining or wet that weekend the repaving will be rescheduled to the weekend of Sept 27th. Image Unavailable, Please Login
ATTENTION: The parking lot where we normally park for C&C will be under construction this weekend as they are repaving it. They will be starting on Thursday and working through the weekend. Attached is a map. We've highlighted Starbucks as a reference point here. The red section on the right is where we normally park, again you can't park there even if you tried. The smaller red section is Starbucks parking. Please do not park in Starbucks parking. Do not park in the Hotel's parking lot. Note the green sections where we will be parking which are north of where we typically park. The red circle is the entrance with the fountain. Do not park by the fountain or on that street as there will be large gravel and asphalt trucks entering and leaving. This also means there's a decent risk of tar or asphalt marbles being on the road or around the lot entrance. Property management is not responsible for cleaning cars or any damage due to the marbles and tar. Be aware and drive slowly. Please avoid parking in front of the building where West Marine and TAP Plastics are located to allow their customers space. The outlined green areas should be more than ample parking for us. You guys that are regulars, we need your help policing this. If you see someone that's clearly with C&C parking in the Starbucks parking lot, in front of West Marine or TAP Plastics, please kindly explain the situation and direct them to our parking. This will be a one weekend thing. Back to normal after this. Again, only park in the green spots. Starbucks is located and labeled in the bottom left of this map for your reference. Thanks, and see you this weekend. Image Unavailable, Please Login
What a turnout! I did not expect to have to park way out in the middle of nowhere, but that is a testament to the amazing nature of this event for the Portland area. There were many more nifty cars than I had a chance to get photos of there today. So here are the ones that I was able to get and were worth posting.

FYI you can go to YouTube and type in Portland cars and coffee and see a LOT of videos of really nice "stuff"
Had a chance to park, drink some coffee, talk with lots of people and take some pictures. The pair of California's from RTGT attracted some attention.

Nice report!!! I'm from Moldova ( Est part of Europe), and i want to come in Portland ...I like that kind of events .In Europe we don't have them
A couple people even showed up when it snowed. The turnout is certainly smaller though on those poor weather days though.

I arrived a bit late, after ten, but there were still an amazing number of cars still in attendance an overcast and spitty rain day.

I left around 9:30. Only one Ferrari while I was there. I stopped by Ron Tonkin after and they win for having the nicest employees I've ever experienced at a Ferrari dealership. That 50th anniversary 911 was stunning.

The heavy mist did its best to imitate rain for quite a while. Then it just plain turned to rain before I left. Did manage to grab a couple pictures showing that there are RAIN PROOF cars that show up to cars and coffee. The folks with the TR6 put their hard top on last night just so they could drive over this morning. Good on them! And 308s look just as good in the rain.
