Recently my work took me to Dallas in Texas (Plano, to be precise). I was looking for better option to spend the weekend (apart from shopping of course). This wasn't my first visit hence I knew there is nothing much to do in and around Dallas, 200 miles radius.
During a dinner outing, luckily I shared with my colleague about Automotive India and my experience with the forum as a new member. Being a petrol head himself, my colleague suggested me to visit 'Cars and Coffee' event to be held over the weekend.
A little history: Cars and Coffee™ began simply as the congregating of auto enthusiasts in Crystal Cove, California, in 2005. The group began meeting so that members who were united through a common passion could share their cars with each other in an environment where they were comfortable enough to ask questions, learn, and experience the joys of such a variety of talents, minds, and especially, cars.
The legendary Cars and Coffee™ event with its roots in southern California is sometimes called the world’s most diverse automobile museum with locations in the US and Europe, Cars and Coffee is the premier gathering of auto enthusiasts that come together to feed their addiction to cars, caffeine and high-octane gasoline.
The Cars and Coffee is held on first Saturday of every month from ~6am-11am at Classic BMW showroom parking lot in Plano (greater Dallas area), Texas. Hundreds of proud drivers from the Dallas/Fort Worth area and beyond congregate with like-minded aficionados and novices alike to share thoughts on a common passion. All types of cars are welcome to attend the event and there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
It’s all free minus the hot Starbucks coffee - donations from the coffee goes to charity.
I was down with cold/cough/fever due to an outing couple of days ago. On that Saturday morning, the temperature was ZERO degree celsius. But that did not deter my enthu to experience the event personally, and share the same with all of you. Also, it was a great opportunity for me to capture the event thru photo and experience, and share with my little son.![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")
I made it to the event by 730AM. Took a whilst to find parking space, and walk to the event parking lot. The event parking lot was full of cars - of every breed and make; drivers from every tribe. It took me a whilst to come to terms that I was witnessing all these cars and some motorbikes, live. Once the emotions settled down, I went around row by row to closely watch every car.
I have hundreds of pictures from the event. Unfortunately, I did not have a professional camera. Never-the-less, my iPhone was good enough. I shall upload the pictures with minimal editing and some titles (where I could recognize the make/model). Please bear with me for few days.
PS: I took the text from couple of cars and coffee related websites to narrate the event, above. I dont know the authors but I have provided the link to some. I do not believe in plagiarism.

); took longer than expected time hoping to edit the photos with some meaningful comment. But now I realize, 'what the heck, the picture speaks thousand words for itself'. Hence going ahead uploading some of the pictures (30 pictures at a time, as that's the limit)
