Yeah that would be a pretty damn early morning if you were going to try to come from London! I went to the London Airshow with my Dad last September, and we had VIP Photo Tour passes, which meant we had to BE THERE at 7:30am. So that meant getting up at 4:30am and leaving my house around 5am. So I feel your pain on that one; that was a LOOOONG morning, but worth it, because the air show was spectacular.
Trust me when I say that every time I've gone to this Cars & Coffee, in the past, there has been some SEVERE reluctancy on the part of my body/brain. "Wait, you want me to get up at WHAT TIME on a Sunday??"
But honestly, it's worth it. These guys are pretty big players in the exotic circles here in the GTA, and they have had some simply spectacular cars on display in the past. I went to my first one 2 summers ago, and they had a red Porsche 959 on display inside the shop (I had never seen one in person before and didn't know it was going to be there, so naturally I had a bit of a school-girl moment when I saw it), and later that same day, the only black Ferrari F40 in Canada showed up. Commence me having another school-girl moment.
Last year they had a Jaguar XJ220 at one of the events; I unfortunately was not able to attend that one, and was kicking myself for it, cause I have never seen one of those in person either.
I usually leave the show at a decent time, and go straight home to catch a nap to make it up to my body for getting up at 6am on a Sunday.
