Every other weekend but so is this which is probably closer for you City. They are usually on different weekends but they held both this past weekend.

Whoa. Never realized there were 2. I'll have to check out the locations. I probably went to the closer one last time.

There was a pale primrose E-Type in your video that was scary close to one I had and sold 20 years ago.

Anyone going ?

Many exciting things are in the works for our great event coming up this Sunday! We will be celebrating the one year anniversary of the great Italian cafe Palazzone!




The event is sponsored by the World Chariot Racing Federation. You may remember their impressive display from our big event September 22. Horse and chariots will also be on hand this Sunday at Palazzone 1960!




This great event will be held from 10AM-2PM. In the morning we will have coffee, espressos, fantastic Italian pastries etc. Later in the day lunch will be served. All will be free of charge for our members!




Trophies will be presented for the 'best' cars in show!

•The World Chariot Racing Award
•The Driven by Purpose Award
•The Palazzone 1960 Award

The event is open to all brands of exotics. If you would like to register email us with your car info for approval. While we are always pushing the limit on the number of cars at these events space is very limited and spots will be given on a first come first serve basis. Please note that unregistered cars will not be permitted!




We are excited to hold another great Driven by Purpose event!

Wait, what, viper guy talking trash... I drove my track car today because my race tire 640 wheel Viper does not leave the garage bellow 40 degrees due to traction issues. It's a dangerous machine at low temps, which is something you low HP cars don't have to worry about. :p.

Kidding aside,it was a rather good turnout and I wished I had driven a cooler car as there were more Lotus's than Vipers, NSX's, Lambo's and McLaren's combined. Hats off to the Lotus club.

The latest from the Northern NJ C&C Groups...


Hello everyone,

I hope you have had a healthy and enjoyable start to 2015.

Many of you have been wondering if you missed e-mails over the past six weeks or so, and the answer to that is no -- unfortunately, winter has decided to linger around longer than it has even over recent years -- this will be our third season of Cars and Caffe and we are looking at our latest start to a year to date.

Additionally, we have a significant number of new members who have expressed interest in joining us this year, so if this is the first time you're receiving an e-mail from me, welcome to Cars and Caffe and I hope you are able to get involved with us in 2015! We have a handful of new locations that I am very excited about as well!

Initially, we were scheduled to get going on Sunday, March 8th, which is just over a week away, but we will need considerable help from Mother Nature if that is to happen. I will update the situation next week, but that does seem unlikely.

Our official Season Opener event will take place on Sunday, March 22nd, weather-permitting. If all goes well, we could have a few surprises that day. The details are as follows:

9:30 AM - 12:00 Noon

Ramsey Square
1300 Route 17 North
Ramsey, NJ 07446

* We have been invited by the Panera Bread that is on-site to this new location. The parking lot is rather large, so we have been asked to park closer to the Sports Authority and leave the parking spots immediately in front of Panera vacant. While this is not a residential neighborhood, please continue to follow our guidelines and refrain from burnouts and disruptive behavior. Your cooperation is essential for the continued permission to hold these events moving forward!

Also, we have a special event in the works for Sunday, April 12th and our "Spring Cruise 2015" will be held shortly after that.

Hopefully winter will soon give way to spring-like weather and we can get our toys out to kick off a new season! Thanks for your time and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Subject: Cars & Croissants: C&C: March 1 Cancelled



Folks,



Hopefully this doesn't surprise anyone: We're cancelling the March 1 C&C. The list of reasons is pretty long and obvious: sub zero artic temps, standing mountains of ice, more snow, etc., etc.



Like everyone else, we are hoping that the weather gets considerably better over the next two week so we can try again on March 29.



Thanks,

Looks like trouble in C&C paradise at both large meets... Even an electric car misbehaved... :)

All,



It was great to see everyone out at Chatham High this past Sunday. We had a large turnout for such a cold day with cars coming and going for almost the entire two and half hours. We did not get a count, but there were probably 200 cars that came. Hope everyone enjoyed getting their cars out on the road again. It felt great!



Unfortunately, we had a few bad actors who felt it was important to rev their engines in the lot and on the residential street, as well as one ridiculous burnout. As we have mentioned each time in our emails to the group, for the past several years, we have zero tolerance for this behavior as it jeopardizes our potential venues for our meets. The following folks demonstrated incredibly bad behavior at C&C, and we request that they not return:

The all black BMW 5 series GT, who stopped after pulling out of the parking lot, and then floored your accelerator and burned rubber for 15 feet, we request that you not return to any of our events.
White lowered Mercedes E63 loudly revving his engine in the parking lot, and then after being asked to stop, doing the same out on the street.
Red Shelby GT500 loudly revving down the street after exiting the lot.
Amazingly an electric car (small white SUV) also decided to join in and peeled away.

Since these people may not be actual members of C&C, we would appreciate if anyone who knows them would pass along our request. We would guess that we speak for over 99% of the group who are not impressed by these actions, and if you would like to put on such displays, please don’t come! We understand that the cars are loud and capable of amazing feats on the road: C&C is not the dragstrip and not the place to demonstrate how loud/fast/etc. your car is.



On a more general note, we would ask that all members of C&C help us police this sort of behavior. If the person next to you is revving the car unnecessarily, please ask them to stop. This activity does affect all of us in that, if we lose a venue for our meets due to these ridiculous, sophomoric displays, we may have to discontinue C&C. We only have a handful of venues that allow to have our meets. Losing even one means that we have to do a once a month format or shut down C&C. One phone from a neighbor is all it takes.

C&C's have been shut down in other parts of the country. The granddaddy of them all, Cars & Coffee's in Irvine, CA, was shut down after many years of meets there due to loud engine revving and burn outs, some which were unsafely out of control. We do not want this to happen to Cars & Croissants. Sort of like the New York Subway slogan -- if you see something, say something.

Finally, Cars & Croissants is your event as much as ours! If you want to save it, we will have to have zero tolerance with such type of behavior. We really would appreciate everyone's help in this.



Regards,



-Kirk & Abi


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying some actual Spring weather today! This e-mail is going to serve as a preview for some exciting events we have planned for next month: April 2015.

First of all, a quick word about last Sunday's Season Opener: I watched a video of some cars leaving the event in Ramsey and am quite unhappy with several individuals who decided to ignore our "no burnout" policy; some of the behavior seen in the video is simply unacceptable. I thank those who film everyone leaving so that despite a turnout of several hundred cars, I can continue to keep track of everything. I do not usually single anyone out on an e-mail that reaches so many people, but the owner of the red BMW M3 sedan crossed the line -- you not only left in a cloud of smoke, but you were dead sideways at a decent speed; had you over-corrected and crashed into the median, or worse, even hit other civilians, you would have gotten us shut down. We are not going to wait for someone to crash before we address this and are not about to let one person (or a small number of people)'s foolish decisions spoil the fun for everyone else, so please do not return to Cars and Caffe in the future. In addition, I would like to take a moment and thank the 95% of you who were respectful and refrained from such behavior.

Since many have asked, we will be off this coming weekend. Many of you observe various religious festivities and holidays, so enjoy the holidays to all who celebrate! Others are going to the New York International Auto Show, so there are still automotive events to attend!

* As I have eluded to recently, our next official meet is going to be unique in many ways. On Sunday, April 12th, we have been invited to Top Gear Porsche in Saddle Brook, New Jersey for our Cars and Caffe meet. This is the first time they have opened for a group, so it is a special opportunity to see an extraordinary collection of both air-cooled Porsches and some of the most exotic cars in the world! The entire collection will be on display for our members.

The event will run from our usual time of 9:30 AM - 12:00 Noon. Top Gear will be providing breakfast on site.

*** Anyone planning to attend this event MUST RSVP to me directly as soon as possible (as usual, there is no charge to attend this meet), so that we can plan accordingly. Directions to the facility will also be sent to you upon RSVP. ***

-------

* The following Sunday, April 19th, we will be hosting a drive up to Caffeine and Carburetors in New Canaan, Connecticut in lieu of a Cars and Caffe meet. New Canaan gatherings have been reduced to twice-per-year occasions, and if you have never been before, I highly encourage you to join us on the 19th -- it is one of the most impressive displays of vehicles you will ever see in one place. Caffeine and Carburetors offers something special to every type of automotive enthusiast!

Those interested in joining us for the drive from New Jersey to New Canaan should also RSVP to me. We will be leaving our meeting spot at approximately 6:45 AM (yes, you read that correctly: I said "AM" -- it is worth it!).

-------

* Finally, the Cars and Caffe Spring Cruise is coming up soon. Due to the quantity of participants at last fall's drive, the turnout will be limited this spring, so if you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible for further information.



Thank you for your time and as always, I hope to see you soon!

Folks,



We are returning to the Morristown Shop Rite for the first time this year. Full details are below:



Address: Morristown Shoprite


178 East Hanover Avenue

Security will there to help you park in the correct area of the parking lot.





As always: The good behavior request: Please respect the neighbors and be on your BEST behavior and avoid the temptation to rev your engine and peel out. We have a zero tolerance policy in this regard. If you do it, you will be asked not to return.





Thanks,





-abi & Kirk

I'll be rolling in from Jersey city, any semblance of a cruise going on?

Most of the guys I'm aware of are coming on 80 and 46 eastbound and maybe a couple coming 287 northbound so far.

Sadly I couldn't be there today, took my kids to visit my parents and Grandparents in West Orange, a little lunch at the Ritz Diner in Livingston, and an afternoon at the Turtle Back Zoo, but was driving on the highway to them around the time C&C was wrapping up, and saw many of the cars leaving going the opposite direction from me. Felt the adrenaline rush just from seeing the parade of exotics on the highway, and turned to my wife and declared that I need to get to more of these.....

Sorry I missed you guys. From what i saw on the highway, looks like it was an awesome event!

Hello everyone,

Below are a few reminders and updates regarding some upcoming events with Cars and Caffe.


This coming Saturday, June 6th is the first-ever Ramapo Concours event. Registration for the event is closed, but Cars and Caffe will have a display at the event in conjunction with A1 Exotics Magazine. If you would like to be involved with us this Saturday, please contact me as soon as possible; we have an extremely limited amount of designated parking available. A number of Cars and Caffe members have registered for the event as well.

Further information about the event can be found at the link: http://www.ramapoconcours.com/2015-concours.html

-------

Last year, we experimented with Tuesday evening gatherings (which I nicknamed "Cars and Decaf"), and after a bit of a delay, we will be bringing those meets back in 2015, which kicks off this coming Tuesday. The details are as follows:

Tuesday, June 9th

6:30 - 9:00 PM

The Fireplace Restaurant
718 Route 17 North
Paramus, NJ 07652

Join us for "Cars and Decaf" as well as dinner!

Depending on the turnout on Tuesday, we may continue doing these monthly or on a more regular basis.

-------

The following Sunday, June 14th, we will be returning to Maserati of Bergen County for our first event of the year with them. The official event flyer is attached. At this time, we ask that all attendees pull into the office parking lot prior to the dealership (2 Park Way, Upper Saddle River, NJ).

The event itself begins at 9:30 AM, at which point a full catered breakfast will be served. To inquire about participating in the morning drive that day, please contact me if you have not already.

-------

Thank you for your time as always and we look forward to seeing you soon.

olks,


We wanted to send you a quick reminder about tomorrow's C&C. Looks like it will be a beautiful fall day for a drive to Western NJ!

A few updates:
One of the parking lots for the farm will be designated for C&C only. There will be a separate entrance for us and we will be located in an area away from the rest of the visitors.
One of our members walked the field this morning and described it is "hard as a rock."
If a few of you would like to help tomorrow morning, we would welcome some volunteers around 7:30-8:00AM to help direct the C&C crowd to the right parking area! Just show up early if you can help.

Full details are below.

Thanks,

-abi & Kirk

Some special notes about this location:

Absolutely no speeding or loud revving on the premises.
While we will be there quite early, there will other visitors to the farm with kids so please exercise extreme caution as you come and go.
As with all other events, we ask you to respect our hosts and their neighbors by being on your BEST behavior and avoid the temptation to rev your engine and peel out. We have a zero tolerance policy in this regard. If you do it, you will be asked not to return.



See you on Sunday.
