Minneapolis MN Cars & Coffee next Saturday June 7th.

Hey guys,

It's time for our monthly gathering of car enthusiasts here in the twin cities.
Last month we had a phenomenal turn out with about 70 cars from many different parts of the world.

Location:
Caribou Coffee/Einstein Brothers Bagels parking lot off of Shady Oak Rd and Hwy 62 in Minnetonka.
We'll meet from 9am to 11am.
Map to Location:

This Saturday we are planning to add a small drive and Dyno day to the fun.
Todd from APS in Shakopee has invited a group of us to go check out his shop and new Dyno. He will be charging $40 for 2 dyno pulls. Let me know if you are interested in attending so that I can give Todd an idea on how many cars to expect.
Stay tuned to all of the Cars & Coffee threads as I am planning a special event after each one.

Please mark your calendars with the following dates:

July 5th
August 2nd
September 6th
October 4th

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

Just got home. What a great turnout, over 100 cars for sure. I spoke with management of the restaurant across the street and they said we could use their lot if it gets too full in our current spot. They have 139 spots and they don't open untill 11am. They also said that moving forward, anybody that mentions our Cars and Coffee will get 25% off of their lunch that day.

Thanks to Todd at APS for a great dyno day.

There were a few cool cars that were there:



Marty's Proto 996TT (It was aDynoject so he could not get it dynoed due to the AWD)

Bryant's Modded GT2 (Under the Knife)

Mark in a 360 Spyder (Did not dyno it)

Blue Ford GT (571whp)

White Ford GT (I left before they dynoed it)

AtomicZ's Z06 (547rwhp)

Camerons VW GTi (168whp)

E36 M3 (202 whp)

My father's 02 GT2 with a Gen 1 Fabspeed abd EVOMS V-Flow (457 RWHP and 433RWT)



Anyways, here are some pics:
