    Quick update. Based on the Facebook page sign-ups and warm weather forecast, tomorrow's turn out looks to be "big" by our standards. Probably 50 to 60 European sports cars. The main strip will likely fill up quickly and then we start parking around back and on the edges. I suggest you get there early if you want a spot on the main drag. And I was in contact with an editor from Jalopnik this past week. No guarantees, but he said he would likely be in attendance. Regardless, I look forward to seeing a good representation of the fine automobiles from Maranello, Sant'Agata Bolognese and Turin. ; )

    So last month's turn out was a record. We had 80+ cars and it was a lot of fun. I am including a link to video a local tuner shop (Eurowise) created of the event. Not my choice in music, but no one asked me. ; ) Still a cool video though.

    Would be great to have a few more Italians on hand.

    This Sunday is the 3rd Sunday of April, so it is Cars and Cappuccino day! This month Scott Jaguar will be showcasing a couple F-types, hence their logo on this month's announcement. Weather looks to be great. Hope to see some of you there.

    Fun event today. We had around 50ish cars. Mike's absolutely gorgeous '67 Miura made the trek down to Southpark. Scott Jaguar brought a European pre-production version of the new Jaguar SUV. They had to trailer it to the event as it is not authorized on US roads just yet. : ) Interestingly it will be available in a diesel model. This one was a supercharged 6 (I think). Also, I think we had the majority of Lotus owners in Charlotte gathered here today. 5 at one point, with another known Elan owner in attendance in his daily driver.

    Based on the website traffic and Facebook page activity, it looks like record turn out is on hand for this Sunday. Get there early to be able to park in the main line up area.

    The June Cars and Cappuccino is being held at the Scott Jaguar location on Tyvola Road near I-77. They will be serving refreshments in honor of Dad's Day.

    So I have been a little remiss in keeping this thread updated. The past 2 months have been pretty busy for me as I continue to work on my lightweight Porsche 911 RSR/ST tribute project. Anyhow, here are few pics fro last month. Really nice turn out, with some really cool variety.

    We had 2 Nobles, a flock of Louses, plenty of Porsche's, vintage BMW's, modern Audi's and a Miura, Countach and a few Ferrari's all making out. The best might of have been the 4500 original mile flying mirror TR. Really, really nice to see it on the road.

    SO August is at the usual spot on Sunday August 21st @ 9:00 AM. Hope to see some of you there.

    Hi all,

    The recent passing of my father has kept me away from updating this thread the last couple months, but the event has been occurring regularly. Hope to see some Maranello beauties on 11/20.

    Sorry about your loss - condolences to you & your family.

    This is a fantastic event for those mainly interested in the European Only cars, with a great location and much more manageable venue.

    Hey..Russell. Good to see your post. I had figured you had set up shop in the South of Spain by now. ; )

    On a related and sad note I feel compelled to mention that there is unfortunately, another passing in our community. Rene Eric Vonwiller passed away this month too. Eric was 59 and a super upbeat guy. Despite his ultimately futile batter with cancer, he was indulging in his passion for European sports cars right up to the end. He had acquired a Lotus Europa about a month prior to his passing and brought it out to his last C&C event. Here is a pic of him with his Noble and he is also in a picture this thread seated behind the same car. He will be missed as will my father.

    Was that the Noble with the '55' sticker on the driver's side?
