The last event at the Mazda HQ parking lot will be on December 27, 2014. We still don't know what will happen next for C&C Irvine, or where it will be relocated... (http://www.ocregistercom/articles/cars-645617-coffee-clinard.html)

That previous post of mine will probably be the last one regarding the event at the current location, as I will be traveling somewhere else with my family next week...

The attendance today was a lot more than usual, it seems like many were looking forward to have one last hurrah at the current location! As you can see, two parking lots were used for the displayed cars - not just the one beside the Mazda HQ, but also the one beside the Marriott Hotel! I arrived later this time even though I set my alarm at the usual time, either it somehow didn't ring or I was just too tired to be affected by its sound. I suppose that explains the lower quantity of photos uploaded this time.

There were also more police than usual, regulating the flow of spectators crossing from one parking lot to the other.

I can say I was pretty lucky to be able to finally visit C&C Irvine for a few times, and see some rare cars there in person! But, all good things usually come to an end, I suppose...well, hopefully they really are going to find a new venue!

I went to the Tallahassess Automobile Museum on my way back home from visiting my relatives in Tampa, FL for christmas and there was a lot of great stuff there. I would love to come back there one day.

Anyway, here are the cars I saw there. Of course, I put them in spoilers to avoid overloading the server.
