Cars and Coffee - Scotts Valley, CA Edition

[songzunhuang]

So just down the street from my place is a place called Canepa Design. They host the most awesome Cars and Coffee event. Canepa restores classics as well as the fabrication of race cars. They can build/fix anything. This morning was the last one of the season and I finally got to meet GreenShark, one of our board moderators. Here's a few select BMW autos that were there this morning.

One of our moderators, GreenShark, inspects a future purchase?

Too bad the board only allows 4 pics per post. I'll create a Google Album and attach a link later.
It's so fun to be able to inspect the cars and see the workshop. They do not treat it like a museum. There are an amazing assortment of cars there. Multiple McLarens, Porsche 918 hybrid, 959s, Ferarris of all types (including a 512BB and a GTO), NSXs and more late model Porsches than you could shake a stick at.

If you are ever in Northern California and near Scotts Valley, email me and we can meet up! Canepa is open most of the time and the museum/shop is free and open to the public.

Too bad the board only allows 4 pics per post.

If you use a "hosting site", i.e Photobucket, you can post as many pics as you want.As an experiment, I tried so see if there was a limit.When I got to 200, I stopped, but it must be possible to go on ad infinitum.

The more I see of the M1 the more I would like one, especially photos from members rather than publicity shots.

Thanks for the photos.

Couple more shots of that absolutely sick ///M1 Procar

Great to finally meet Song as well, many of you have been following his "bringing her back to life" thread on his '84 633

This car apparently sat for 5 years requiring him to have to sort through virtually everything

Back to Canepa, come next spring, every 2nd Saturday of the month they host C&C, an event for you bay area locals not to miss

One point of interest is that there are NO prices on the cars on the showroom floor

I guess if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it

At least in my case, if I have to ask, I don't. I don't want to embarrass myself or waste the seller's time. I'm sure it's off-putting to a seller to see a potential customer's jaw drop to the floor when told the price.

Originally only four e26's were finished in Basalt-Blau all of which went to executive board members & the Quandt family collection.
Very cool - Thanks for the pic's..

Here's a link to the Google Photos Album with pictures from the event.

Also I'll upload some pictures I took at an earlier event of the museum in the building. It wasn't part of this week's activities, but it is representative of the "permanent" collection.

Thanks for posting those pics. That's one incredible selection of cars in one place.

I'm only 2 hours and 30 min away. I might consider your offer and going up one of these days!

Great photos!
