Default Attn: MN Vettes - Cars & Coffee - April 5 - 9am - Minnetonka

Hi All,

One of the 6speedonline guys (Luis) has put together a cars & coffee (car meet) together for April 5th.

There's quite a mix of cars on that forum - a lot of euro cars, but plenty of American hardware.

Vettes are welcome.

(I'm going if that means anything )

Chris

Minneapolis, MN Cars & Coffee Saturday 4/5/08

I am proud to announce a very exiting event for the Minnesota car community.

The Minneapolis Cars and Coffee event will begin on Saturday April 5th and will continue the first Saturday of every month at the Caribou Coffee/Einstein Brothers Bagels parking lot off of Shady Oak Rd and Hwy 62 in Minnetonka.

We'll meet from 9am to 11am.

Map of Location


Please mark your calendars with the following dates:
April 5th
May 3rd
June 7th
July 5th
August 2nd
September 6th
October 4th

There is a great sports/exotic car community here in the Twin Cities and it’s about time we followed suit and started our own Cars & Coffee event.

These events are held in many parts of the country and are a great way for car enthusiasts to hang out for a couple of hours.

Please forward this on to all of your sports/exotic car friends and encourage them to come on out.

We’ll have some photographers out there and we’ll post up some shots on the different forums.

Hope to see you all there.
Thanks,
Luis

This sounds like a good time. If the weather works I will give it a try.

After looking at his Scottsdale pics and all the expensive iron showing up at that show makes my C5 look pretty......normal. Not sure my car would fit in with that crowd. Great looking exotics though. May be fun just to check out some machines you dont see regularly.

Yeah, I don't think MN will deliver the exotic mix that the AZ version does.. Your C5 (and my Z) will fit right in. I don't think there are too many Lambo's in town (but I could be wrong).

Lot's of 911's

Thanks for the info,

We might have to try and check it out.

Although ours is pretty plain jane, it might be fun to see what else shows up.

My car is still on jacks awaiting new brake parts, a blower belt, and maybe some new wheels if I sell the current setup. But, maybe I'll go if for some reason the weather is better, and I have everything back together.

The blower belt is a special order, and isn't suppose to arrive until next week....so maybe.

Looks like fun regardless.

It's going to be beautiful - I'll be there.

Look for a MS/Comp Grey C6Z with no front plate - that's me (or Jeremy )

Highway 62 west of 169 and Shady Oak road.

Exit Shady Oak and take a right - 1/2 block - look right, you can't miss it.

Yeah, I should have told everyone to look for the old(er)/fat(er) guy with an MS/Comp Z

You were there with your wife, right?

I followed some guys over the to Motorplex Minneapolis (in Chanhassen).

It's basically a clubhouse (soon to be completed) and oversized garages (some are 2K square feet +) where guys with a lot of toys (and money) hang out. www.automotorplex.com

The owner - Bruno - is trying to fund a track S. of Minneapolis (figure an hour).

A drive would have been cool - we'll have to get a smaller group together next time and do that.

Here are a couple of pics from the Motorplex:
