Third show out of four this year!
There's an excellent car show called Caffeine and Carburetors (http://caffeineandcarburetors.com/) scheduled for September 11th (weather permitting, but it looks like it'll be beautiful as of now) in New Canaan, CT, and as we've done previously I'm coordinating a quick meetup shortly beforehand so that we can check out each others' cars and ride in together.
The show is early Sunday morning and is pretty informal, but most of the cars are there around 8 and it ends around 11. We'll have a pre-meet at 7am, and the specifics are below. It sounds like it's too early to be worthwhile, but the cars are insane and the environment is great.
It is early, but where else will you see a McLaren P1, a Porsche 918, a Ferrari LaFerrari, a Lexus LFA, and a Pagani Huayra, all of which were driven into the event, parked on the street? This happened last year. There are also usually dozens of 911s, quite a few Audis, and dozens of Ferraris along with other random cars from Model Ts to modern and vintage supercars.
Who can make it?
The specifics:
Date: Sunday, September 11th
Time: 7am meet, the actual show gets going around 7:30 so we will leave the pre-meet location at 7:30
Location: Park and Ride lot starred below. The show is in downtown New Canaan, CT.
Price: Free to attend, free to show.
I'm aware that this is opening day for football (go Giants!), but everyone will be home by the 1pm games.
Pre-meet location is starred in the screenshot below. The lot isn't huge but probably has room for 20 or 30 cars.
Downtown has a smaller show area than Waveny (where the October show will be held), so most of us will probably park in nearby attendee parking. If anyone would prefer to park in the show, those of us who have been before can advise at the pre-meet about where to park and how to get in. As mentioned above, it is free to attend and free to show.
For those who just want to attend and park their cars outside, we will park in the starred parking lot in the photo below. If we get hassled about it we can park in the "official" lot, but there have been no issues in the past. Getting to the actual event at 7:40 or so is early enough that there should be ample parking.

Hope to see a great turnout at this one, and hopefully we can beat our spring attendance!
