Cars & Coffee early Saturday morning meetup in two weeks, Saturday June 18 in Irvine, for any LEAFers interested in gathering at a large weekly show of unusual and special cars to show off our LEAFs. You'll see some of the most amazing cars you've ever seen, and there is always a chance that a manufacturer will be previewing a car that you'll only see in the car magazines. There are also vintage cars and often a major historic marque will be featured for the morning.
We don't want to overwhelm the meet, but I would think that between 6 and 8 LEAFs would be a good number. If you're thinking that we might not "fit in" with all of the gear heads, don't be concerned. Gary and I did a trial run there a few weeks ago and we were welcomed and had a lot of interest from attendees.
There is no charging opportunity on site, but OC Nissan, Tustin Nissan and Connell in Costa Mesa are all just a few miles away. Or someone could come to my house in Irvine afterwards and leave your LEAF to charge at L2 while we go for breakfast.
You'll need to arrive between 6:30 am and about 6:45 am. The whole event is about over by 8:30 am and all the cars are usually gone by 9 am. Gary and I will arrive early and try to reserve parking space together. It will help us to do that if we know how many are planning to come, so please speak up here so that we can count heads. So far I have myself, Garygid, and hill as definite. I think that Mitch 1051 also was pretty sure he was coming. Who else is interested?
The location is in the Irvine Spectrum area, near Alton and Irvine Center Drive, across from The Spectrum shopping center, and adjacent to Mazda North America Operations and a building owned by Ford. Exit Rt 405 at Irvine Center Drive. Take Irvine Center Drive North past the shopping center to Alton. Cross Alton and make a right turn onto Gateway.
