We've participated in this with our MG club - it's always fun and generally some interesting machines to see. Maybe the MO/IL folks could plan on piggy-backing on this event?


SPRING START-UP Saturday Morning, APRIL 20
Saturday: 8:30 am – 10:30 AM
Starbucks, 9616 Manchester, Rock Hill Plaza
Manchester and McKnight, St.Louis

Many of us have busy Saturdays….the family, house and errands. BUT then, there ARE our cars…and the need to get out, spend some time with others over just coffee and chat.

CARS & COFFEE is just that. Everyone gathering early Saturdays, at a central location and just enjoy cars.… a good reason to get out, have coffee and drive when traffic is a LOT less.

It starts early, and ends early so everyone back home is happy that you are not off “killing” the whole day. Stay for the whole time, or leave when you must. Some groups are using it to start a “tech day” or road trip.

BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS: our cars are out…we are driving and seeing & talking cars for a few civilized moments of the week with others of like mind. Your neighbors would not understand.

CARS: open to all makes & marques, ALL eras and it’s not a show or a concourse. It’s just that: Cars & Coffee.

WHERE: STARBUCKS – 9616 Manchester – 2 Blocks WEST of the McKnight & Rock Hill Rd. intersection & plaza…[The Rock Hill Plaza is about 2 miles south of 40/64. Plenty of great parking.]

[Don’t like Starbucks???—that’s fine. Bring your own.]

RAIN?--- If it’s raining – some might not come but there is always a gathering. It’s still a time to get out with enthusiasts away from the fray.


FUTURE DATES: May 18, June 15, July 20, Aug.17, Sept.21, & Oct.29
[All will be Saturdays, 8:30-“10:30ish” am]

I know exactly where that is. I can avoid the messy lane setup over 270 by taking ballas from home

Anybody up for this meet? April 20. We plan to be there with two cars - my VT and one of our MG's.

 

[DJSLINKARD]

If I'm not on call for work that weekend I'm gonna try to make it. Need to check my work schedule though.

 

[hwhunt13]

I'll have to play April 20th by ear. And likely won't make the May 18th meet. I might also have to cancel my cedar point trip that's on May 20-24 to help start the process of moving into the new house
This whole moving process to another house is going to get a lot more hectic very shortly. The parents bought a house off of ries rd. and close on May 22nd on the new house.
I don't know what to expect as of right now, but I will provide updates as things begin to heat up.

 

[hwhunt13]

I can attend tomorrow's meet.

 

[hwhunt13]

Anyone going to attend the June 15th meet?

 

[mtbker36]

I'll try to make it out there.

 

[hwhunt13]

I couldn't make it out to the June 15th meet due to our family being in oklahoma city oklahoma for a lifelong friend's wedding and reception. We are lifelong friends of the bride.

 

[hwhunt13]

I will be available on July 20th for the next meet, which is only 3 days away.

 

[hwhunt13]

Is anyone going to attend the August 17th meet?
I think I can make the meet without any problems.

 

[saffyres]

We won't be available for the August meet. Our summer has been crazy-busy!

I was asked to fly to nebraska for the weekend with my mother to visit my grandparents/her parents. One has alzheimers, and the other fell and is in a lot of pain from arthritis flareups even though my grandmother fractured (no complete break, which is good news) her hip. The fracture was not actually causing the pain.
I just got back from nebraska a few hours ago, but not without barely making our connecting flight in dallas to return to st. louis. Funny thing was, I was the last one on the plane before the plane left from dallas. The plane arrived in grand island arrived half hour later than expected.
