Caffeine and Carburetors: New Canaan, Connecticut
For Mint readers who are not familiar with the Northeast, New Canaan, Connecticut is one of the most affluent towns in the New York area. It is a suburb of Greenwich – sort of. What we are trying to say is that a Cars and Coffee-type event is going to draw some pretty amazing cars. It did not disappoint. It is actually referred to as Caffeine & Carburetors and it is in its 5th year. Even the founders of the event were amazed at the size and quality of the turnout. Of course, The Colonel caused quite a bit of excitement as we burbled down Pine Street, closed off to traffic for the morning. We were surrounded with some amazing cars from Maserati Sebrings to McLarens. We were parked in front of an 1000 hp Supercharged Ford GT. Probably the only time we will ever be in front of it. Can’t wait for next month’s and we will be sure to get there earlier!
Did you by any chance see a silver 5-Series E28 BMW at the show?
I don’t recall off hand. There were so many cars and they were parked not only on Pine Street but in every parking lot including the Metro North Commuter lot! Insanely good turnout. I did take a short video so perhaps I caught it. I’ll check.
