I am proud to announce a very exiting event for the Minnesota car community. The Minneapolis Cars and Coffee event will begin on Saturday April 5th and will continue the first Saturday of every month at the Caribou Coffee/Einstein Brothers Bagels parking lot off of Shady Oak Rd and Hwy 62 in Minnetonka. We'll meet from 9am to 11am.

Please mark your calendars with the following dates:

April 5th
May 3rd
June 7th
July 5th
August 2nd
September 6th
October 4th

I met with management of both establishments and they are very exited to have us there and will do anything they need to accommodate us. I organized the same type of event in Scottsdale AZ and had a wonderful turnout month after month.
There is a great sports/exotic car community here in the Twin Cities and it’s about time we followed suit and started our own Cars & Coffee event. These events are held in many parts of the country and are a great way for car enthusiasts to hang out for a couple of hours. 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

Since April 5th is my birthday, I will be there. Hopefully you don't mind Tourings showing up.

If I'm not working the night before, I'll be there on April 5th.

Not at all. See you there!

Luis - glad you're setting this up. Look to see you and others there.

Sounds like a lot of fun. I will attend as many as possible. I will also forward to friends.

I'll try to be there to photograph if everything goes smoothly when I pull the M out of the garage... looking forward to meeting y'all.

Unless we get some rain I won't be there.

I'll try to make it to as many as I can. Assuming I can switch shifts with somebody else and take Saturday off.

We are less than a week away!!!
See you guys there!!

Would love to come however I have to teach a BMW Diagnostic class in Chicago that day...

No prob, we'll see you at the next one.

I'll be at the first one, and at every one when I'm in town, which will probably be about half. Looking forward to it.

I'll be there, unless it rains. lol

Not gonna be there on 4/5 so I wanna see pics

I'll probably be sleeping. I can't get myself up and go at 9am. I'd have to get only 4 hours of sleep in the middle of my work week. Not a good thing.

See you guys in the morning and stay tuned to this thread for pics!

Excellent Turnout. Thanks to all of you that made it out! Let's keep this going fellas, we have a good thing going here! If you took some pics please post them here.
Here are some of my pics:

Wow. Thanks for setting that up. I was amazed at the turnout; I hope it stays like that. I had an absolute blast. Surprisingly, the people were just as cool as the cars. I previously said I'd attend half, but I might have to schedule my weekends to accommodate every single one.

To everyone else, don't worry about your car not being worthy. There was nothing boring there, but there certainly were some relatively inexpensive cars there.

Thanks again.

Looks like it was a lot of fun. I will be at the next one for sure. My parents are in town this weekend so I couldn't make it.

i didnt catch it at first, but was that the new bmw x6 there?

It's the same one I posted in the MNV thread a two-ish weeks ago that was at Motorwerks.
