I think that this would be a great event for the SSOCMCC to attend. Especially when you consider that it's in Orange County. I'll post it on our site, and we'll possibly make the next one.

A bit misleading...

Ok...I researched and found out that this is an alternative car gathering and not the same Crystal Cove Coffee and Car gathering which is now being held at the Ford Design Center near the Irvine Spectrum.

It seems the viper club (or specifically one viper owner going by Newport Viper) is pushing hard to get this event up and running by posting on most car club boards...a bit misleading on his part.

For the Coffee and Car show at the Spectrum visit this website:
Rogue Car Show

To read where the Viper guy clarifies whether or not this is the new Crystal Cove venue check out the Meguiar's forum:Meguiar's

This guy also posted on the Corvette Forum: Covette Forum

It seems we have two competing venues.

"On Saturday, October 21, 2006 a new carshow venue replaced the venerable Crystal Cove event.
The original founders of the Crystal Cove event had been working to create a series of visitor-friendly venues throughout coastal Orange County."


I heard that the Crystal Cove event was fun, but not welcome by the community. It's understandable. That much noise that early in the morning on a Saturday might make me a little less welcoming. Balboa is a MUCH better location.

When I turned up at CC in my MR2 Spyder they (the ferarista) explained that a Japanese, mid-engined 2-seater, roadster is not a sports car.......

The following week I turned up on My Ducati and was welcomed with open arms....
