Arrow Cars & Coffee 2012, Taunton MA

Many people have expressed interest in starting this up again and we also agreed that it would be best to start a new post for 2012 so here it is.

Feel free to extend the invitation to friends, family and other car nuts (doesn't matter what make). Preference is to keep things low key so we don't attract unwanted attention.

Location: Starbucks Parking Lot, Taunton, MA (65 H Taunton Depot Drive, Taunton, MA 02780)

Date: Every other Sunday (Weather Permitting) Starting April 8th, 2012

Time: 9:30 AM until whenever

Location Description: The location is perfect for this type of get together. The traffic is light on Sunday Mornings since most of the stores are still closed. We often get people that will stop by to look at the cars and ask questions and we have never had any bad experiences. Local patrols also leave us alone which is nice. If we get a big draw of cars we can always park at the Circuit City parking lot across the street which has a huge lot and no traffic.

Weather Permitting: Most of us don't mind meeting up on cold or overcast days but rain really spoils this one since we are standing outside. If it's raining or looks like it will assume the GTG is cancelled. We may schedule for the following weekend if there's interest.

These get togethers really serve two purposes. The primary intent is to get the cars out and drive them. Find a new route on the way or maybe take the long way home. The secondary reason for the get togethers is the people. We all have similar interests and while our reason for purchasing the cars may differ we all love cars and love talking about them.

This get together fills the void between the bigger PCA and other Car Shows. I and others will try to provide updates so everyone knows when the next GTG will be.

Looking forward to some good turnouts!

Yes, its still on for April 8th. We know some people might not be able to make it, but we wanted to get an early start to the car season.

Good to see everyone again. Once again the temperature drop towards the end closed up shop early.

Regardless, it's good to see that we have a steady group.

Anybody get a pic, because I didn't.

Hi Allen,

I only snapped one quick photo. I wish it had been taken at a better angle to catch more of Paul's 928S4 at the end. You can just barely see it's nose and the hood is open.

Nice catching up with everyone, and glad to see a new car/face at C&C.

Although it was a bit chilly Bia and I both had a great time.

I hope everyone had a great drive home!

Looking forward to the next one in a couple of weeks.
