Final show this year!
Background:
There's an excellent car show called Caffeine and Carburetors (http://caffeineandcarburetors.com/) scheduled for October 16th (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, October 16th
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 at Waveny Park in New Canaan, CT.
Price: Free to attend, free to show.
I'm aware that it's football season, 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.
Waveny Park is the show location, and is one exit south of the pre-meet spot off the Merritt. Waveny has a larger show area than downtown, so the group will likely park in the show. If anyone would prefer not to park in the show, there are people directing traffic to attendee lots. As mentioned above, it is free to attend and free to show. Getting to the event at 7:45 or so will leave ample parking in both areas. If anyone wants to meet at the show, but skip the pre-meet, PM me when you get there and we can coordinate a meeting spot.
A few photos from past shows, this year and last, are below.
