August MN Cars & Cafe

August brought another amazing turn-out with awesome weather and some special cars.  The event is always great to attend rain or shine, and being a stones throw from my house helps too.  Check out the pics!


Friend David just finished up his on-going E36 M3 project.  Fresh paint and a new turbo setup:

I love Verde Ithaca.  My favorite color on Lambos

Nero is also a great color...this one is packing something special...

If you don't know this company, then you've been living under a rock.  One of the premier builders in the country.  This Spyder had their R-package;  1,000hp on pump-gas and 1,500hp on c-16

It's Me Alec's super clean e46 on HREs

Spotted this bagged 'Benz last month, but it wasn't finished.  Had my jaw on the floor

That's all from this month.  Stay tuned for more features from local meets and events.

Cars & Cafe 4/2/11

Well, this weekend marked the first Cars & Cafe event of the year and despite the forecasts, the weather cooperated and the sun was out all day.  For this one, I rolled the LS400 out with a few other cars from i'mSTANCED, and we had a good showing.  Everyone was sporting new looks, and the cars went down a treat.  Overall, the gathering was small, but still a good turnout considering the roads still hadn't been washed clean of the winter salts, and the lineups were impressive.  Minneapolis Maserati brought out a few Bentley Continental GTs, a Maserati Quattroporte, and a Ferrari F430.  There was also a nice lineup of Porsches and Audis from their respective organizations.

Another "big" showing was Kaien.  Following up from my Spiderman escapade last year, I decided to put on a little show for the opener and bring Kaien out to check out the show.  Everyone got a kick out of it, including the little kids walking around.  Kaien even had a little fun with Tiesto, a malamute that was walking around.

After the show, me, the bf, and some friends went to Lions Tap for lunch, followed by a stop over at MAPerformance for a little open house.  It was a great day to kick off the season.
