    Sorry it took so long but I think we're ready to kick off the Santa Barbara Cars and Coffee. It will be every Sunday morning from 8AM to 10Am on the central part of Coast Village Road in Montecito. Just exit the Olive Mill Rd. exit from the 101. You really can't miss it. There are quite a few restaurants and coffee shops there in the area to grab a bite to eat or a cup of coffee. The area we're targeting is the mid section of the road near the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. There is a large area of shops there that don't open until later in the day.

    Our main request is to please keep the parking immediately in front of the restaurants open for their regular business and please no burn outs or revving of engines. That will quickly bring things to a closure.

    I'll be there this Sunday in my black 355 and then heading out to the Santa Barbara Concours from there. Please help spread the news and I hope to see the central coast folks there.

    Absolutely. I've invited the Porsche, Alfa, Jaguar, Woodie and Classic car guys as well. I love great cars and enjoy seeing all types so I hope we have some fun cars show up. I'm always amazed at what unbelievable cars people have holed up in their garages around here.

    Hi Monte,

    Thanks for getting this off the ground. I will also try to make it there on the 7th. My in-laws are coming in for a visit, but I'll be happy to ditch them for a few hours.

    Nice! I'll be there this Sunday then.

    Bob, the Stradale only has a 25 gallon tank... think you'll be able to make it?

    Rob, you must be in the circle of trust. When I tried to learn more about registering I got the feeling they weren't interested. Oh well....

    They are. I spoke with Phil this morning to register a 355 for judging.

    But now that means I won't be able to stop by Cars and Coffee as I need to be there at 8.

    Thanks everyone for a nice turnout for our very first event. Based on the positive reaction and number of flyers handed out at the Concours, I think we'll likely see quite a few more cars show up next weekend. Pics to follow.

    It was a pleasure meeting everyone today. I will be in AZ doing an off-road + Grand Canyon trip next weekend, but will try to make it next Sunday.

    Sorry I missed you guys today. It looked like rain up here in the north county. Going over to Vegas for annual service at Wynn next weekend.

    Sounds good Jason. Anyone else that would like to help out for our 2011 Concours d' Elegance Ferrari class would be gladly welcome. I'd like to make this a premiere venue for Ferrari owners with special attention to well thought out classes and seasoned dedicated judges. I'm starting to assemble a committee now.

    Thanks for organizing! Just a heads up ... the BEST coffee/espresso/cappuccino in town (Italy quality) is at the French Press ... near the corner of State & Figueroa. I will try to be there on 11/21 with my 2007 F430! Look forward to meeting you all.
