date change due to weather -- now sunday june 3


all,

well, it looks like a very good chance of rain tomorrow morning, so even though
we tried to do this next meet on saturday, it is not to be -- we will meet next
on sunday june 3. The details:

Hilton parsippany
1 hilton court
parsippany, nj

time: 8:30 am to 11 am

we are using the same lot we did a few weeks ago which is at the back of the
hotel. The hilton will block off both sides of the parking lot at the back of
the hotel for us, so if you arrive and see barricades, those are for us!

As before, we have access to the hotel facilities, including food for purchase
and bathrooms (hooray!). Please use the back entrance of the hilton. Note that
there is a hampton inn also on the side of the hilton, which is not available to
us (nor is the hampton inn free breakfast for their guests -- some of our
members got a little confused our first time there. :))

please no revving your engines and no screaming out of the parking lot -- let's
be good guests -- the hilton is graciously allowing us the use of their
facilities for no cost.

• Time: 8:30 - 11:00AM

THIS SUNDAY AUGUST 26th, 2012

All,

We are meeting this SUNDAY AUGUST 26 (change
from Saturday on the schedule due to meet location availability):

Hilton Parsippany
One Hilton Court
Parsippany, NJ

Which parking lot? Please go to the back side of the hotel (west side near the
ballroom entrance). If you enter the Hilton lot with the main entrance in front
of you, take an immediate right and follow the internal road around to the back
side of the building

Date: Sunday, August 26
Time: 8:30 am to 11:00 am

This hotel is located off of Route 10, just west of 287. It is easily
accessible from routes 287, 10, 24, 80, 46, and 202 among other major routes. There is a coffee shop insidewith the usual breakfast fare as well as a couple of restaurants including a Ruth's Chris for those of you who want your Sunday meat and potatoes after C&C. And, we have access to the restrooms!

See you all on Sunday. The same courtesies should be in existence here as we have in Chatham --no burning rubber or loud engine revving in the parking lot or leaving the premises. We are guests at the Hilton, and they have been kind enough to let us use their lot with no fees or legal issues. Please respect their property and the paying guests at the hotel.

Please let your friends know who may not get this email. Also, as always, we will send a confirming email on Friday in case there are weather or other issues with a Sunday meet. So, for final location/date info for this weekend, check your email on Friday.

Regards,

Kirk and Abi

THIS SUNDAY, SEPT 23 @ Chatham High School

candcnj : Cars and Croissants

Folks,

We will be having a C&C meet this weekend on Sunday, September 23. This is a change from Saturday on the original schedule because this is the only day available for us at our 2 potential venues (i.e. Hilton not available at all this weekend and Chatham High only available on Sunday). The fortunate by product of this change is that it is also helpful from a sleep perspective to one of our co-founders who will be attending the Motley Crue/KISS concert on Friday night. :)

The details:

The Chatham High School Parking Lot
255 Lafayette Avenue
Chatham, NJ 07928

Time: 8:30 - 11:00AM

For those bringing your own baked goods and drinks, please make sure you carry out any trash -- much appreciated. We are working on a potential food solution -- having one of the high school clubs, sports teams, PTO, etc sell food -- but do not know if we will be able to get this in place by Sunday. We will let you know in advance if we do.

As always, please be on your best behavior and avoid the temptation to rev your engine and peel out. We're in a residential neighborhood -- let's be considerate.

Please let your friends in the various forums know about the location and date change for this weekend. We don't want to leave stragglers all over North NJ!

As always, we will send a re-confirming email on Friday so watch your inboxes for that in case there is a change due to weather or a venue issue.

A summary of the remaining dates for 2012:

• Sun, Oct 7
• Sat, Oct 20

THIS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18th

Paul Miller Porsche
250 Route 46 West
Parsippany, NJ 07054


All,

It's been a tough couple of weeks -- we hope everyone is at least beginning to recover somewhat from the storm. In light of the lifting of gas rationing in NJ and power returning to most of us, we felt it was time to gather again. We will be meetng on Sunday, November 18. This time we will be hosted by Paul Miller Porsche, Bentley and Rolls Royce. The details are:

250 U.S. Highway 46 West
Parsippany, NJ

Time -- 8:30 am to 11 am

Our hosts will have their Porsche, Bentley and Rolls-Royce new car showrooms and the pre-owned showroom open exclusively for us (it is a Sunday and they are closed to the public) along with refreshments, and at least as important -- access to the restrooms (not for us, of course, for all of you old guys).

We hope to see all of you there.

Regards,

Kirk and Abi

SUNDAY DECEMBER 2 at the Hilton Parsippany, NJ

All,

We are meeting this SUNDAY DECEMBER 2 at the Hilton Parsippany:

Hilton Parsippany
One Hilton Court
Parsippany, NJ

Date: Sunday, December 2
Time: 8:30 am to 11:00 am

Which parking lot? Please go to the back side of the hotel (west side near the ballroom entrance). If you enter the Hilton lot with the main entrance in front of you, take an immediate right and follow the internal road around to the back side of the building.

This hotel is located off of Route 10, just west of 287. It is easily
accessible from routes 287, 10, 24, 80, 46, and 202 among other major routes. There is a coffee shop inside with the usual breakfast fare as well as a couple of other restaurants if anyone wants to stay after for brunch/lunch. And, we have access to the restrooms!

Please remember the usual common sense behaviors -- no burning rubber or loud engine revving in the parking lot or leaving the premises. Your car is fast and powerful and therefore, of course, so are you -- we get it. :) Let's agree in advance that we are all tied for first in terms of powerfulness (like that word?) -- so no need for a contest. We are guests at the Hilton, and they have been kind enough to let us use their lot as a courtesy. Please respect their property and the paying guests at the hotel.

Please let your friends know who may not get this email. Also, as always, we will send a confirming email on Friday in case there are weather or other issues with a Sunday meet. So, for final location/date info for this weekend, check your email on Friday.

See you all on Sunday.

from the guys over at C&C:

Folks,

2012 was a big year for C&C: We have over 750 subscribers on the email list, we expanded to a number of new locations and saw some great cars! Back in 2009, Kirk and I started C&C as a gathering of like-minded gear heads who enjoy discussing all things automotive early on a weekend morning. From all we have heard, others enjoying Cars & Croissants as much as we do.

Now as we wait for the temperatures to rise and the vegetation to turn green again, we are getting ready to have another great year. We realize some of the dates for C&C will conflict with other meets, events, etc. and as such please do worry if you miss one—there will be another in 2 weeks.

Finally, as we have requested in prior years, we greatly appreciate the respect/courtesy most of the attendees have displayed at our meets. As some of you know, finding locations for these meets is not easy. Loss of even one hosting location will greatly limit the ability of having these meets. So please encourage any of your friends or invitees to follow your display of consummate gearhead manners!

Here, with further ado, is the calendar for 2013.
• Sat, Mar 9
• Sun, Mar 24
• Sat, Apr 6
• Sun, Apr 21

The details are:

Date: Saturday, March 2

Time: 8:30 am to 11:00 am

Location:

Woodland Bakery
650 Shunpike Road
Chatham, NJ

Please do not park in the first 2 rows closest to the stores -- let's leave thse for the regular customers of the shopping center. Also, please obey all posted parking signs and do not rev your engines in the parking lot or burn rubber out of the lot.

See you all there.

Kirk and Abi

2013 Meet Schedule

The 2013 schedule is highlighted below. We will determine the meet location on a week-by-week basis. As longtime members know, during the regular months of our schedule, with nearly 800 members now, we are just too large a group for the original location (where we are meeting on March 2). Typically we will meet either at Chatham High School or the Hilton Parsippany. We will send out an email during the week in advance of each meet to let you know where we will be that weekend.

THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 10th! will be either Chatham HS or Parsippany HILTON

Folks,

As you know, we are supposed to start our official 2013 C&C meet calendar this weekend. You have been probably waiting eagerly for this email to learn the details.

One change that we will have to make is that the meet will be held on Sunday morning (March 10) because neither of our usual spots are available on Saturday.

We will inform the group of the location by Friday.

Of course, all of this is if the incoming winter storm doesn't cause too many issues!

Thanks,

abi & Kirk

STILL ON FOR TOMORROW!!!

See previous post below on our Sunday meet -- 9:30 am start time this week only. Weather looks good, so see you all there. A head's up that last November, when we met at Paul Miller, we had over 350 cars show up.

################################################################

All,

For this week's meet, Paul Miller Porsche,Bentley and Rolls Royce have graciously agreed to host us again. Details are:

250 U.S. Highway 46 West
Parsippany, NJ

Date: Sunday, March 24

Time -- 9:30 am to noon (NOTE THE NEW TIME -- THIS WEEK ONLY)

Our hosts will have their Porsche, Bentley and Rolls-Royce new car showrooms and the pre-owned showroom open exclusively for us (it is a Sunday and they are closed to the public) along with refreshments, and at least as important -- access to the restrooms (not for us, of course, for all of you old guys). :)

Given the later start and end time (did we mention that and that it is this week only?), we will probably go for an informal pay-your-own-way lunch afterward. (Sorry - had to make the lunch payment terms clearer, ever since some of you lined up for the "free" breakfast (with the hotel guests) at the Hampton Inn next to the Hilton the first time we had a meet there -- as always, folks, there
is no free lunch!) Everyone is welcome to join us.

We hope to see all of you there.

Regards,

Kirk and Abi

Folks,

After the long, cold, brutal winter cancelled our first meet, we have decided that we are going to roll the dice and have our first C&C meet of 2014 on Sunday. It looks like the weather will cooperate just enough to get the toys out! Also, please note we will have a slightly later start to benefit from a slightly higher temps.

As always, we will send out a confirming email on Friday in case we need to change dates/location for weather or other reasons.

Date
Sunday, March 16

Details for the meet:
Time: 9:00 - 11:00AM

Location:
The Chatham High School Parking Lot
255 Lafayette Avenue
Chatham, NJ 07928

As always, please be on your best behavior and avoid the temptation to rev your engine and peel out. We have a zero tolerance policy in this regard. If you do it, you will be asked not to return.

See you all this weekend.

-Kirk & abi
