MNMazda Spring Car Festival of Awesome! CANCELLED

mndsm

I'M OFFENDED!
Cancelled due to lack of stuff to do after cars and coffee, and the fact that the weather is going to be crap. Sorry folks.



Ok, so it was recently determined that on the same day as the MNSC Spring Opener, was the monthly rich people Cars and Coffee Meet. It's been discussed, and we are officially making a day out of this. The plan is to meet somewhere close to the cars and coffee (as evidenced by the lower arrow on the map) drool, get our name out there, and make the jaunt up Shady Oak to get to Central Park in time to lay claim to some area for the MNSC Spring Opener. After that, we trek down to University Ave, lay claim to the Wendys parking lot, and have more good times.

Cars and Coffee info-
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.

Please mark your calendars with the following dates:

April 5th
May 3rd
June 7th
July 5th
August 2nd
September 6th
October 4th

I met with management of both establishments and they are very exited to have us there and will do anything they need to accommodate us. I organized the same type of event in Scottsdale AZ and had a wonderful turnout month after month.
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

MNSC Info-

So, the people over at MNSC appear to be having some sort of managerial shakeup, the Spring Opener has officially been TBD'd. We have no meet to make after Cars and Coffee. Anyone have any bright ideas?

Second change of plans, we now have a venue. We are going to meet at AJ and Jana's after Cars and coffee for some install and grilling fun. I have directions, i'll leave it to those two to PM them to whoever, otherwise, you'll all have to follow me there.
Here is a map-

The plan is to meet at JC Penney's in the EP mall at the bottom arrow on the map at 9am. We will be departing from Penney's at 9:30 SHARP, so be on time. We will roll out to the 2nd arrow, which is the spot for cars and coffee. Nom a bagel, suck down a latte, get crumbs all over Ferraris and stuff. After that, we trek out to Central Park in Hopkins for the MNSC spring opener. That lasts until 4pm. Maybe we get a little grub, and after that it's on to University ave to dominate the Wendys!

The 6 is definitely considered a Sport Compact.

And I am so in for this.

Im in. So we arent rolling into the coffe parking lot all at the same time? Just show up whenever at 9ish? I think it would be cool to meet somewhere close and have all of us roll into the coffee lot at the same time...

They sure picked a tiny park for the MNSC opener. Doesn't look like there's room for more than a few dozen cars in the north and south lots put together

To bad this is all happening on May 3rd. I'll be at Valley Fair for the autox and right after that I have to drive back to school to continue studying for finals.

I just noticed 2 RX8s in the Coffee and Cars pictures along with the STI. We should have no issues rolling there. But we should definitely do it caravan-style.
