    I have gone to this gathering and it has really been hit or miss. However, it is almost always just rich guys with Ferraris, Lambos, McLarens, and Porsches. It would be neat if other enthusiast cars showed up.

    Every Saturday at 8am at the Dilworthtown Starbucks at the Giant shopping center on rt 202 (across from Piazza Mazda)

    Here are some pics, some are mine. Some are ones I found online:

    Whaaaaaat?! This is 10 minutes from my crib and this is the first I've ever heard of it. Has it been going on for a while? Whenever I see the other C&C threads in TCL I'm usually thinking "I wish there was one near me...." Oh wait apparently there is

    Maybe I'll bring the S2k and my DSLR out one of these times. Seems like it's worth a look.

    I think it has been going on for a few years now. I've been there three times, and of course the time I didn't bring my DSLR was the largest turnout by far.

    Seriously. Its about 20min from me and I never knew there was a C&C in our area.

    Nice, I got something to do now to get away from the wifey
    Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. A normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow.

    Interesting. Nothing wrong with rich people with ferraris and such as long as enzo dude wannabes don't show up. I was actually in west chester today noonish......... buying a hyundai accent .

    8am is too early for me at that distance though. Maybe i'll check out that bucks county c&c jawn one of these days.

    As long as the owners aren't bags, then I don't see why you're complaining that it's only rich cars.

    I sure as hell wouldn't wake up at 6am to go to a meet filled with lowered MK4s or riced out Hondas.

    I'm not complaining, but every other good c&c meet has many cool cars, not just exotics.

    I think I saw a 55 Chevy there once hanging out in the corner. I think sometimes there is a group that cruises around, but I just go there to look.

    I was there yesterday and the turnout wasn't all that impressive (there were certainly very nice cars there but the vast majority were the regulars). It's really hit or miss. They post up info about this event weekly on the regional forum on ferrarichat.

    That thing is absurd. It pulled up full of people and one guy just sat in the back the entire time. Apparently $100k just for the conversion.

    Also the black lambo is twin turbo and the owner claims 900whp

    I know about half those guys. Great group of people. Good drivers too

    I think I know who the F40 belongs to. If its who I think it is, he usually shows up in his Scuderia or 599 GTO. Never actually seen the F40 in person.

    I went two weeks ago but turnout was way down due to a conflicting event that day....
