What is cars and coffee?

There is an explanation of the cars and coffee concept online at https://cars.coffee/. It says: 'Cars & Coffee is the global phenomenon where the passion of supercar owners and enthusiasts become reality. It is a world class, multibrand and multiperiod display to share the emotions conveyed by the roar of powerful engines and by the sight of so many stunning cars.'

That is the offical 'Cars & Coffee' - but the idea has moved on from there to a general theme of gatherings of enthusiasts who like cars - they don't have to be supercars, as the organisers of the event planned for Streete point out.
