We're not exactly a cars and coffee as we're not aimed at everything. We focus on exotics and they dominate in nice weather. We had the threat of rain last weekend so we tend to get a higher percentage of daily drivers than normal. We try and make it inclusive but we think we'd harm expectations if we changed the focus to something like Cars and Coffee. We're getting more and more seven and eight figure cars and they won't come out unless there are the spectators, the daily drivers don't pull spectators, so to get the spectators, you have to have the exotics, so they are the core of the group. It all seems to work well.

E@RTC stands for Exotics at Redmond Town Center

Every weekend bunch of exotics and a lot of other cool cars show up, much like Car and Coffee here in OC. They gather and have fun and talk about cars.

The Remlinger Farm event was first started by Jody Takagi 4 years ago. She's a racer and has a very nicely modded Porsche Boxster. She travels around and does quite a few races. The event has grown over the years, started out with Porsches but now a lot of other exotics and high end sports cars join!

Nonetheless, I was thrilled to meet so many cool people and we had a lot of fun hanging out with each other the whole day. The best part of the day? I got to drive the Lamborghini LP670-4 SV and Rolls Royce Phantom. Very interesting experience. Will make another post later in this thread about that. (post #5 SV, post #6 Phantom)
These pics make me

It's really crazy on a nice weekend when we get twice as many cars. You can see a lot of pictures on the E@RTC Facebook page.

the event was great. one thing i couldn't "show" from the pictures are the people. everyone was so nice and you can see they are all car enthusiasts. doesn't matter if they are exotic owners or spectators, a lot of great conversations. i think that's quite different from car and coffee i have attended
