Caffeine & Octane May

Yes.

 

I'm skipping it this month, so that I can go to the Taste of Marietta instead! (Besides, my camera's memory card is maxxed out after spending yesterday at The Mitty!)

 

I'll be at Caffiene & Octane with the family this morning briefly, then lunch at PF Changs, then headed to Millers Ale House for a Porsche Club Concours, then back to the Mitty! Busy car day!

 

Awesome turnout today and could have not asked for better weather!

 

Now, did anyone take any pictures? C'mon, guys, I'm not the only guy around here with a decent camera!

(P.S. The Taste was great -- I'm going back there for dinner!)

 

Yes I took some pics, there were SO many cool cars. Gotta download them from camera...I did notice some Alpharetta cops around, but people still had the urge to burnout or make a fast getaway from that light. I saw one dude in a Pontiac G8 sedan who lost it a little and almost ate some curb.

 

I have to say I was AMAZED at the turnout. I went to the first one which was small to yesterday which was so packed I had to park way out. I saw so many cameras. But not many fcars. Saw one maroon 360. Kudos to the organizers. Now only if we can get a rally here.

 

huge turnout and some obvious no shows due to the Mitty.

 

It is called Rosso Fiorano and that was my car.

 

I got a few pics yesterday, sorry they are mostly Porsches and Broncos, I am biased.

The turnout was massive considering the events that the PCA and Road Atlanta had going on. I still think they need a bigger non-retail location and it is disappointing to see multiple vendors\sponsors taking up 6-10 parking spaces to hand out business cards.

 

sorry Andy. Love the wheels. I just wish they made them in 20's. I saw you as you were getting in the car and if I recall it was you who posted pics from a vacation with your family in Italy? Well if it was you, those pics made the decision to go to there a no brainer. Went last October/November.

I did see the vendors there and i can not speak on behalf of the organizers but yes they do need "another new" location. Love the Starbucks convience though. They must love the event. Crazy seeing all those people on the side of the streets.

 

Is that your bronco? Looks amazing. I am a Jeep fan myself.

 

Thanks, the dark blue one is mine. I just got it running after being off the road for 16 years. After figuring out my mileage it may be time to park it until gas is $1.25 a gallon again...

 

It was me who posted the Italy pics, I am glad you went as it is truly an amazing place and we are talking about going back. Hope to see you next month.

 

Andy, funny the subject of your trip/pictures comes up now. I showed my wife your pictures and guess where she is now...... yep - Italy but she didn't invite me! I wonder if she will run into Monica?

 

Andy,

Yes Italy was great. 5 days in Rome and 8 in Venice. Rented a car and drve out to Modena. Saw the Ferrari plant from the outside but cool seeing some cars on the Fiorano track and got lost trying to find the Lambo factory.

Next time I willl stop by and say hi.

 

Here are my photos from yesterday
