Cars&Coffee was extra special this last weekend. Mazda was hosting their annual Sevenstock party in their parking lot so C&C had to move for a day.
The nice folks at Mazda arranged for the show to take place in a rather exceptional location, at the end of a six-mile private mountain road that they used in their “Zoom Zoom” commercials.
The road is owned by the residents of a small equestrian-centric village in the mountains that separate of Orange and Riverside Counties.
Instead of the usual “free, just show up and hang out” format there was a small donation to the local volunteer fire department (a very worthy cause in these here parts) and a judged car show with trophies and prizes.
Rolling in.

Local horsepower.

This shot’s for my friend, KR. We were just talking about how you don’t see many of these any more.
Early Zoom Zoom.

The 190SL club?

Local hangout.
This trike has 60,000 miles on the clock, in the three years since the guy built it!

We don’t need no stinking asphalt.
Traffic jam.


“Gassin’” up.



Half a century of Mercedes engineering.

Did I mention there’s a six-mile driveway to get in or out of this place?
