Caffeine and Carberators 2015

[pony23]

They have announced April 19th as the first date of the year for C&C in New Caanan (on Pine and Elm).Always a great gathering with lots of awesome cars and bikes.

9/13 looks like it might be the other possible date.

[SlateEd]

Thanks for keeping an eye on that pony23!

I'm going to add April 19 to our calendar of events, and hope that the weather clears up enough for us to have a big turnout!

for anyone who hasn't been to one of these before, it's an early morning and totally worth it! some OUTRAGEOUS metal in New Canaan.

Hey Everyone -- Next upcoming event is this C+C in New Canaan CT on 4/19. The parking for this fills up early, so plan to get there by 7:30 if you want a spot on the street.

The show is really relaxed and there's always some incredible hardware on display, totally worth the early morning.

I can meet whoever wants to go up from NYC, LI, NJ, Westchester at the Mobile station in the middle of the Hutch Parkway in Harrison NY between 6:45-7am. We will leave that spot at 7am sharp.

Anyone want to setup a meeting spot coming from the North?

[pony23]

Hopefully my parts will be in this week so I can make it.

[roebear]

Definitely interested in Sunday, happy to meet where ever, I'll be coming from the Jersey City area. The less potholes the better :)

[99ACR]

It should be a great event! I will be there .
If you would like to meet and park together LMK.

Sweet - are you meeting up on the highway? pulling off one of the first exits after the bridge?

Does that work for you RoeBear, or would you be coming over the GWB?

Let's keep posting up locations and pin down our meeting spots by Friday!

How about CT people? anyone coming from the North/East?

I normally let traffic dictate my route, but if people are meeting just over the TZ then that's where I'll go!

[ACR Steve]

TZ to the Hutch is the way my GPS is showing. No traffic its Sunday early morning

I'm coming in from central CT down the Merritt after leaving this place. ��

Oooh the Merritt will be super nice Sunday morning...might have to take a side-trip out to Fairfield afterwards.

[John B]

I coming from Durham area. What time are you leaving and where can we meet?

[99ACR]

Hi, parking maybe tight at 7:30. The last in town C&C show I arrived at 7:30 and had to park in the railroad parking lot.
I will be there at 7. Easy for me I live here in town.
I am listed as an enthusiast , I think I am a Mamba member.

[99ACR]

Tony, Is that picture from the Cove hotel?

Dennis

[roebear]

Ok so what is the meeting spot for Jersey folks?

[SlateEd]

roebear - Looks like you should meet just after the TZ Bridge toll with ACRSteve and co. 6:15 am.


Stop #1 - 6:15 am- TZ Bridge toll. That's 87 south/287 east.

then you guys will be going across 287 east to the hutch north (about 10 miles). About 3.25 miles up the Hutch you'll pull into the rest area just after exit 30S just long enough for a few more to jump in line - don't need to stop and get out unless anyone needs gas.

Stop#2 - also 6:15 am (we'll probably leave by 6:30 but be ready in case they're running early!)
Northbound Merritt Pkwy Rest Area
Greenwich, CT 06831, just north of the NY/CT border

From there the Northbound crew will finish the trip to New Canaan.

we'll probably be there before 7 at that rate.

Dennis, where's the best place for us to meet you between the Merritt and the C+C street?

[Hwy2h3ll]

Ed,

I will meet you at the greenwich rest area.

-mike.

[ACR Steve]

Everyone be on time we need to be there a little before 7

[SlateEd]

Ed,

I will meet you at the greenwich rest area.

-mike.

Perfect, See you there Mike!


Everyone be on time we need to be there a little before 7

Absolutely right - this show is popular in a huge way!

from that Greenwich pickup to New Canaan is about 15 mins so we should be pulling out of Greenwich by 6:30.

[ViperTony]

Tony, Is that picture from the Cove hotel?

Dennis

Yep. :D

[ViperTony]

I coming from Durham area. What time are you leaving and where can we meet?

I'm leaving my house no later than 6am. It's about an hour from where I am. I'll PM you.

[John B]

I am meeting up with Tony at the Mobil station (6 to 6 15 AM) on the Turnpike in Hamden, then driving to the show.

[roebear]

Change of plans for me, I'm leaving from Danbury now and will meet you guys there just before 7. Stoked!

[ViperTony]

This was an overwhelming day, but was nice to have the comfort of the Viper pit to roll back to :). Nice to meet you guys and definitely looking forward to the next one!

Wow - NewCanaan and Zumbach always put on a good show, and our Viper presence there today was AWESOME! Lots of big money cars on display, but no one with more passion than us!

Thanks everyone who came out!! :dude3: timberwolf and roebear, great to meet you guys!

Great pics Ed, thanks. Looks like some nice machines were there.

[MalingatorGTS]

Lots of pics propping up from today. Wish could have gone but family first plans. Congrats on what sounds like a great day!

[Helo Steve]

Looks like you guys had a blast! So it seems every time I'm out of the country for a New Canaan C&C, a Huayra shows up! Hope you guys keep enjoying the Pagani in person, while I only get pictures! Haha

[ACR Steve]

Great meeting you as well Tony! I enjoyed my time with the Viper club guys, who are all class acts and just down to earth car guys. It really is the best car show around. So much amazing hardware all in one place!

[roebear]

This is kicking off again on Sunday, is anyone planning on rolling up?

You bet - anyone else got it in them to hit two Viper days in a row? Weather is looking incredible for this weekend!

[MalingatorGTS]

I'm going to be there for sure....

[Helo Steve]

I've got two events in a row in me! I'll be there!

[SlateEd]

Guys - Last year we got there about 6:50, even after ACR Steve gave me s#&* about being 5 minutes late to the meeting spot in Greenwich :-)
Anyway, at a few minutes before 7, we pulled right onto Pine Street and we were directed into parking in the Wallgreens Lot, which worked out really well! wherever you are coming from, shoot for that lot, and lets hope the organizers throw us in there again this year.

[MalingatorGTS]

I got a few guys meeting up with me at the Mobil station right off the RT 8 and Merritt interchange at 6:45.
