March Cars-n-Coffee - 3/3/2012

[z3elda]

Since C-n-C is becoming a big deal, I figured a seperate thread for the month was appropriate.

We're a couple weeks out, but I wanted to remind everybody that Saturday March 4th 3rd is the next meet at the Panera, North Lake Mall, Charlotte.

The weather is getting warmer and more consistent - We really need to show up before 8am to get enough spots together.

-Bring your Autocross car and your numbers/magnets.
-Bring us your back issues of Sports Car to give away
-I've got a BUNCH of wanna race cards.
-I'll have March event flyers and schedules.
-Licursi - you still got that DVD player?

Any chance of getting a club race car to show?

This is becoming a great social event for us, and I hope you'll consider coming out. At the same time, this is a great recruiting opportunity that has already born fruit.

If you do attend, be prepared to talk about your car, SCCA, and SOLO!

So who's coming out?

Eric - might want to update the second line of text. Your subject is correct, but Saturday is March 3rd, not 4th.

I was going to try and come out this weekend, but weather man is calling for 80% chance of thunderstorms so I think I'm going to stay cozy and dry and do some work in the garage. If the weather man is wrong, I'll come out.

No C&C this month....

Fellow Cars and Coffee participants


Sorry it has taken me some time this week to post our event. I have been working with the new property managers at North Lake Common to come to an understanding of what our event has become and our ability to work together (different than the general mall property owner. They only own and manage the store fronts were Panera and Fox and the Hound are). Unfortunately we were not able to reach a common ground and I have decided to move the location of Charlotte area cars and coffee for future events. The new location at this time is to be determined. The size that this event as become, the unstructured nature of the event, and the antics of this past month all lead to this decision.


I know this is short notice for our event tomorrow but the weather forecast seems to have had a premonition about this outcome and it is suppose to rain. This may give us a week or more to find an alternative location that really fits our needs and will be mutual with the property owners. Over the years I have been approached by several alternative locations that extended a warm welcome to host our monthly event. I will revisit this list I have collected at this time.


If you could do your part and inform your friends and family members that have enjoyed this event over the past three years of this change I would greatly appreciate it. We thank North Lake Commons for their past hospitality and wish them luck.

Stay tuned to charlottecarsandcoffee.com and other sites to see the change it should be posted this week. I would ask if you are going to attend tomorrow that you part behind Men's Warehouse they have given us that lead way with the short notice with the understanding that we will be out by April.


Sorry for the short notice and inconvenience. We will figure this out and return to the great event this has become for Charlotte area car enthusiast!

After watching car after car after car leave doing burnouts on the wet pavement, we were wondering how much longer it was going to last.

[yellow CR]

Thanks Duck

[clarise]

Loren just drove over 22 hrs to get here for C&C...Between the "niar", & whatever??, oh well, some things just don't work out...We will probably stop over anyway, if it's not too awful, & then make a trip to Streetside or R&K & look around...Maybe go to Mooresville Dragway after lunch & make a few runs for the fun of it...Shoulda done a better job on those lucky stars... C U LATER, KLB

[z3elda]

Hoping an alternative site is found soon - it was a unique event..
