I love going to the Cars & Coffee Show but since it starts at 6:30am on Saturday’s, I usually am not quite awake enough to head over there. This weekend I suggested to members of the OC Photo Club that people go over to take some shots and a few people took me up on it. I had just worked an overnight grad night, so since I was still awake anyway….
If you want to hit up the show, it is free to attend and is just one block away from the Irvine Spectrum. The show is every saturday from 6:30am – 9am. I suggest being there by 6:30 and watching the cars come rolling in.
Here are some of my favorite shots of the event.
My son, my father and I go to a similar gathering almost every Saturday adjacent to a Starbucks in a local movie theater parking lot. I love this little slice of americana and I also love the time with my family. My dad is 79, 80 in a couple weeks, and I restored his 1957 Mercedes 190 sedan many years ago. He sold it about three years ago and the guy who bought it has completed the restoration. He brings it sometimes and we see it and remember and tell the stories to my son. It makes me think of wanting to do a project like this with him. He’s a senior next year and will be moving on soon … Time passes. Thanks for giving me a chance to think about this some on Fathers Day.
What a great story Jim, thanks for sharing.
