    I've seen a few caravan/meet up threads pop up around C&C and figured it would be easier to create one thread instead of having a new one each month...

    Don't know what it is? I'll let the videos and photos speak for themselves:

    http://www.mncandc.com/

    For the lazy:
    Here is the MNS thread from May. I think a good time was had by all:
    http://mnsubaru.com/forums/showthre...-C-(Cars-and-Coffee-Cafe)-Saturday-May-7-2011

    I'll update the OP with the any pertinent details each month. I propose we meet in the Perkins parking lot off 494 and France @ 6:30am since it's convenient for most and offers a spot to get some proper breakfast for the bleary eyed. Strict departure time of 7:15am as C&C parking can completely fill up very shortly after 8. It's a big show...

    Here is a link to a google maps view of the Perkins:
    http://maps.google.com/maps?q=perki...33031&sspn=0.006365,0.009645&t=h&z=15&iwloc=B

    The next show is this coming Saturday, July 2, 2011. They don't say anything about skipping July and someone went through the trouble of marking it on their calendar so it looks to be a go even though it's 4th of July weekend. Frankly the kind of folks that show up to this probably carved out time to spend in their garage as opposed to a family reunion. I expect the turnout to be just fine.

    Who's up for a caravan to see some awesome cars Saturday morning before getting a running start on the weekend BBQ's? :yumyum:

    I'll likely go sooner then when you guys meetup, due to working at 9 am up in Coon Rapids on Saturdays, unless I have the day off for some reason. Last time, I only got to spend about 20 minutes there before I had to leave.

    I'm going to try my hardest to get up and get out to meet you guys there, probably not to eat but just to meet at like 7 and then roll over there.

    Something tells me the majority of people who show up will probably be more along the "show up just before we roll out" crowd on a fairly consistent basis... ;)

    There were only a few of us today. Those who missed it REALLY missed it. Nicest Saturday morning I remember weather-wise in about a month. Great showing for cars, almost too great for spectators. Entire upper lot got parked in by some assclowns who couldn't figure out how this whole "park in a row" thing works.

    Looking forward to next month!

    What do you guys think of having an organized brunch/lunch type deal after instead of trying to do breakfast before? I know Mr. Tran ended up going to Quang's afterwards with a group. I'd be up for something like that next month.

    Done. ;)

    Agreed, had a lot of fun. I'd be open to a lunch thing after, or maybe do a meet/grill thing?

    I'd be up for an early lunch after. Left before 10 today and don't know if I could make it much longer before the ADD and tapeworm kick in.

    I think we'll go with the same plan as last month. Shoot for a 7:15'ish departure.

    I hear Har Mar (the lot where we've been trying to get Friday nights going) is the spot to be after C&C as well. I guess a fair chunk of cars end up cruising around after the show. I plan on hitting that up to, If enough people are interested we could caravan up to Old Chicago or something.

    I'll be more than likely going if I don't have work. I might be interested in heading to Har Mar after too. Of course that would be following lunch, Quang maybe? Lol

    I'll be there, my first time going, I've never met any of you and am mostly a lurker here. Bringing my friend with me in my '99 2.5RS, I think we may make it to breakfast, but might get our own table, we'll see.

    Last month was a bit light due to 4th of July. I think it was 5 cars or so. The month before was a bit better, 10+ maybe? Who knows what will happen this time around given how many people keep punking out and saying "next month". There's only two months left this year...

    You guys usually get a big table just in case? I wouldn't know how to spot any of you anyway, guess it would be a good way to meet a few people from the community.

    Ehhhh... the breakfast crowd is usually a bust. I think it's just too early for most, that's why I'm suggesting some food afterwards instead of a morning thing this time around. I'll be out in the lot shortly after 7am. Just look for the scoobs and/or the festively plump bald guy with an obnoxious goatee.
