Cars and Coffee

For anyone that lives in the St. Petersburg/Tampa area, every 3rd Saturday of the month is "Cars and Coffee" near the Starbucks on Ulmerton. It's put on by Dupont Register (which I think is headquartered around here) and there are some awesome cars that go every month. I don't explain it very well and I've actually never been, but I should be attending the next one. Here is the info:

Saturday, the 17th of March from 7am-9am, duPont REGISTRY will be hosting a monthly cruise-in for car lovers. Bring your Ferrari, Lamborghini,
Bentley, Viper, Corvette, or whatever! Join us at the parking lot adjacent to Storman's Palace (2675 Ulmerton Road Clearwater, FL 34620).
Be sure to tell your fellow enthusiast, and bring some friends out. Starbucks is open early to serve the crowd. This monthly event brings together local collectors and exotic car enthusiasts every third Saturday of each month. Please feel free to forward this invitation to any friends, family members or clients with exotic cars.

The car’s thermometer read 38 degrees at 630am last month. Not only did we see the full turnout but the convertibles were out in force showing up with tops down and their truly enthusiastic occupants bundled up. A rare treat for us here in central Florida. Let’s do it again this coming third Saturday, the 17th of March. Stop by on your way to the 12 hours of Sebring. We’ll supply the venue, water, magazines and some company. Look forward to seeing you then.

This concept was brought to life locally by Tom duPont in June 2005 and has evolved into a perfect enthusiast’s event. Thanks to Aaron from duPontregistry.com for our photo site http://www.myspace.com/carsandcoffee and to
Charles, Aaron and Particus for their enthusiastic support of Cars and Coffee every month. 5:00 a.m. is an early wakeup call on Saturday, but these guys answer consistently. Would not happen without you. THANK YOU!!

Who: Owners/collectors of classic, luxury, exotic, or just plain “fun” automobiles

What: “Cars & Coffee" – looking for an excuse to drive your favorite toy?

When: The third Saturday of this month – this 17th of March, 7:00am - 9:00am

Where: Parking lot adjacent to Storman's Palace, 2675 Ulmerton Road Clearwater, FL 34620

For more information please contact Alan Morin @ 800.233.1731 or amorin@dupontregistry.com
