MN Cars & Coffee April 2014

Post by BonneMe »

Winter has been brutal in Minnesota, and in the last few months we've set records for all of the wrong reasons. This weekend we had our first big show of the year. Just 24 hours before, mother nature decided we would enjoy ourselves WAY TOO MUCH, and dropped another 8" of snow on us. Minnesota Cars & Coffee is the first saturday of every month (April-October) Rain, Snow, or Shine. This was the first real snowy show, with car counts at their lowest in years, and attendance pretty thin as well.

Minnesota Cars & Coffee website -Also check out my personal Flickr Gallery. I've got over 80 high resolution images. Here's some of my favorites that I took this weekend:

1) Ford GT that popped out from one of the AutoMotorPlex garages.
Image

2) This old Dodge was absolutely glowing in the sun.
Image

3) This E39 5 Series had a nice aura with it's matte finish.
Image

4) I talked to the owner of this Hot Rod, he spends a lot of time under this lift just polishing away....
Image

5) Audi R8 that came to chill between buildings
Image

6) Jag E-Type that arrived TOP DOWN when it was approximately 45F.
Image

7) Jag wheel.
Image

8) Audi S4 headlight detail
Image

9) Focus ST fairly blacked out
Image

10) Updated and Modified NSX.
Image

11) ALWAYS save the best for last. :P

That E39... Hnggg. My favorite gen of 5 Series. Gives me the feels.

That NSX is pretty awesome too.

The Bimmer looks good on the dark wheels too Jason. Time for a re-whoreage?

Ryan, this started in a parking lot at a coffee shop and strip mall 6 years ago or so.

Thanks Carl, I was meaning to try and shoot it before the sticky summers go on.

Between the stance crowd and all the stock euros its hard for me to get up early to go more than once or twice a year.

We have a huge meet in the Toronto area every Thursday evening in the summer. 1000+ cars of all shapes and sizes EVERY week - it is absolutely insane. Wagovan breaks ALL the necks, even the sport bike guys drop what they're doing to look at it. G8 gets some respect too. No need to get up early :mrgreen:
