George Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Not sure if anyone here ever goes to these things, but here's some information in case you are interested. I love all types of cars and, from what I understand, some pretty amazing cars show up. http://www.facebook.com/KatiesCoffeeHouse It's called Cars and Coffee. I don't know if posting links to non MINI related activities is a no-no. If so, I'm sorry. I haven't been yet, but I'm planning on going soon.

carman63 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I went almost every week for a while. Once the weather warms up a bit I'll start going back. The 'official' hours are 7-9AM, but there is usually a good show of cars between 6:30 and 10:30 or so. You'll see quite the selection, from Stanley Steamers to McClarens, with a handful of Minis and MINIs as well :top: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAST060 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I'll be at tomorrow’s Car and Coffee at Fair Lake Circle Starbucks (I will be very low-key). As long as the weather isn't silly, there should be a nice crowd out. It's a different crowd from Katie’s but that is my perception. Q Oh yeah, BTW... you can post this kind of thing in "Events". We are car enthusiasts and never pass up a chance to mingle with the like-minded. Drive events are the postings that we ensure to let people know who the hosts are and such. https://www.instagram.com/smokiendabandit/ 2009 MCS, HzB/B, CWP, PP, "BLUR" MOTORING ID: SOAR143 - MINI Community Service 2013 JCW GP, Thunder Grey, "SMOKIE" MOTORING ID: FAST060 2014 MCS Clubman, Highclass Gray, "THE ADMIRAL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian0758 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Here is the link to the Northern Virginia Sports Car Club meetup group. http://www.meetup.com/novascc/ They list the local meetups in the NoVa area. They are having a Cars & Coffee meetup at Summit Point Raceway on April 6th which might be fun to attend. 2012 Jeep Rubicon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TATTRAT Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 There have been quite a few threads on it, but it's always a nice thing to think about with the weather starting to break. I fully anticipate getting out there in a month or so, the mix of cars at the Falls Church C+C is awesome. I am hoping that the 458 Italia and the Noble still go out there. There are also a few classic Minis that make the trip. We should coordinate a Saturday for us MINI folk to go grab a section of the lot and park a bunch up there. flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlingsDogs Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Woke up earlier than normal today so decided to hit Cars & Coffee on a whim. What a great selection of interesting rides! Classic hot rods, new and old exotics, new and old muscle, imports something for everyone. I am definitely in for showing up "in force" with a rack of Minis!

Bert Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I am definitely in for showing up "in force" with a rack of Minis! Chris, when the weather gets a little warmer, and I get past this cold I will definitely be there... as will a few others.

SlingsDogs Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Went to the Summit Point Cars & Coffee Saturday morning, a bit of a hike but worth it. Cool cars, leaning a little toward domestics and a few less exotics but a good turn out for the first one. I think they had 120 cars or so but only one Mini, MINE! Being able to hit the Karting track if you want and watching a Porsche club rip around the track at the same time was a bonus. Might be worth a trip some time this summer, we could do a DCMM trip to the Cars & Coffee and finish with some Karting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carman63 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 What is the super car show? Is this at great falls (katie's)? Bugatti Veyron = "Super Car". It's not a 'super car' show, per se. But the rumor is, a Veyron will be in attendance April 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
