April 14th 2012 1st metrowest MA spring cars and coffee-Natick

There has been lots of discussion here about a MA gathering so I chatted with a few members and came up with a spot that should work for most metrowest folks.

I thought about a spot that's accessible for most coming from 9, 495, the pike or 95 and came up with a spot on the Framingham/Natick town line. It's across from the AMC theater on Flutie Pass near the mall and shoppers world in a very large unused parking lot. It's close to everything including dunkin donuts, 2 Starbucks, restaurants and a bazillion other things so you can make a day of it.

This is an overflow lot for AMC that is 100% empty 100% of the time and big enough to hold hundreds of cars.

Here is the location on a custom Google map that I made.

If this catches on we can build a larger group through affiliations and have some on site detailers join us.

Sounds like fun! Its like a 50 min drive for me so a once a month event sounds manageable.

 

I figured it is was weekly then you would have just a few people show up...maybe. But once a month or every 6 weeks in the spring through the fall you could get a good turnout.

It would be fun to have a mobile auto detailer there or some grilling in the summer. I invited Alex from driven perfection detailing.

 

I'm hoping to have my Mondial on the road by then this could be a good shakedown run for me.

 

I'll bring my bag of tools, hoses and belts.

 

Maybe some spare relays too........

 

Feel free to RSVP here and be counted. My 1000th post!

Sounds great - all I have to do is get the ol' gal cleaned and an inspection sticker.

 

I have been to a few other car club meets there... do we need AMC permission?? The spot is visible from the road, so ricers can tend to show up and spoil the fun.....

I will be there in the F Car, or sumthin else exotic

can we post this on other exotic car forums?? yuppieracing, lotustalk, maybe NEMS

 

Its the overflow lot across the street Well all just say we're there for the 1:00 show. I live in natick and I've only ever seen the lot used for the most hyped summer blockbuster on a Friday night. They usually pile it full of snow from all of the surrounding shopping lots. Well be fine there.

 

Absolutely

 

on the calendar...glad we got something together! looking forward to it!

 

April is going to be busy!!
I'm just about to send out a Save the Date for our 1st event...we're having a Cars&Coffee/Open House on April 14th...come to our place in Waltham in the AM then head out Rte9 to Natick.
I'll post a thread now...

Btw...the 1st Boston Cars & Coffee at Larz MOT is on April 7th

 

the Natick GTG should get pushed to 2pm...

 

+1

 

Count me in, that's a great spot and very convenient.

 

Thanks for posting and I plan on attending. This will be my first C&C.

 

Excellent. I'll certainly be there with my afternoon coffee in hand. If anyone has any trouble I live close by and should have any tool that you need.

 

1 month to go!

 

1 month to get my car straightened out. Lol

Hope to see you all there

 

It's almost here and hopefully we have a good turnout. Cut through the woods to the right and you have Ben and Jerry's and Boloco Mexican. Cars N' Mexican?
