    Well we are finally making a second go at this with some new leaders. The first Des Moines Cars and Coffee event will be this weekend. Here is the information:

    2nd Saturday Car Chats

    Talk car stuff over coffee, tea or ? All nifty and cool cars invited!

    WHEN: 2nd Saturdays of August, September and October, 2011 – get it in your calendar now!

    WHERE: Near Starbucks at Merle Hay Mall, Merle Hay Road & Douglas Ave. in NW Des Moines

    August 13 2011, 8 AM to 10 AM
    September 10 2011, 8 AM to 10 AM
    October 8, 2011, 8 AM to 10 AM

    Suggest park south of Starbucks along Merle Hay Rd and save some space for come-and-go customers (Merle Hay did not return calls so no official permission obtained – instead, you are a Starbucks customer)

    Note: If you didn’t get this message directly from Bill Dikis, send your e-mail address to [email protected] to receive reminders and updates with the words “2nd Saturday” in the subject line.

    Hey Steve, how did the first C&C go? I wasn't able to make that one but I should be able to make it to the next two. I have a E92 BMW M3 though. Is that ok to bring?

    Yes pretty good turn out considering the straw pole and state fair were also going on.

    I was given the keys to a BMW Isetta 300 and a new Jaguar XK to take a for a spin.

    All cars are welcome, there was everything from Imports, to british roadsters; packards, to a 1920 Locomobile; microcars to Mercedes.

    Just throwing this out there for next year. I think it would be awesome to have a c@c labor day weekend or maybe a drive this weekend. It is great weather to go for a drive.

    Very cool to see a 250 (looks to possibly be a GTE / Boano conversion ?) model, of any type, anywhere.....let alone in Iowa :)
