Cars and Coffee
I know some of us forum folks enjoy Classic, Antique and Special interest autos. I'd like to put together a Cars and Coffee type event, where people can come together for a couple hours on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Any interest in this? I would put it on at my Garage in Meredith. Probably enough room for 25-30 cars. Let me know, we could plan something for May, and if there is enough interest maybe once a month?
|
Dad's got a Camaro convertible, and I've got a Mustang convertible--probably both be interested in checking out others' rides!
|
Sounds like fun!
I'd sure love to stop by on a Saturday morning for a coffee. I try to take a hot rod or one of my bikes up to my place in Meredith most weekends. That sounds like lots of fun and awful nice of you to offer. If you do decide to try something I'd be happy to help out with the coffee and refreshments.

I'd be interested...
|
I would be interested too! Thanks for the offer. :)
|
I will be interested.
|
Ok, Looked at my calendar today. I would like to invite you all to come to Cars and Coffee on May 2nd Starts at 9am, probably wrap up by noon. This is not a show or a cruise night event. It is very simply a time for like minded people that enjoy Vehicles old and new of special interest. Could be a Model T Ford or a Ferrari. Please don't bring your show quality Dodge Caravan! :cool:
No awards, prizes or DJ's. Just cool cars and cool people. Oh and Coffee + Donuts. To be held at Finn's Garage 181 Waukewan St Meredith NH |
Cruise nights
The Cars and Coffee sounds great (weather permitting :) ).
For those who don't already know.... there are usually weekly "Cruise Nights" as follows. I can confirm that the ones at the 104 Diner, the Tilt'n Diner and CJs happened last year. I can't confirm the Clarke Plaza one but it was advertised. Not sure if they will all happen again this year either. Tuesday - Clarke Plaza (Wolfboro), 104 Diner (New Hampton) Wednesday - Tilt'n Diner (Tilton) Thursday- CJ Avery's (Laconia) I also know that Buckey's in Moltonborough used to do one on Sunday afternoon but that was few years ago. If anyone has info on Lake Region events in 2015, I would appreciate it. Dusty 66 Mustang Convertible Sprint 200 |
Long range forecast still looks good. Planning on Saturday May 2nd. Hope you all can make it.
|
Here's my list from last year...
http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...ad.php?t=17441 For 2015, Castle in the Clouds is 7/11 http://www.castleintheclouds.org/eve...obile-event-2/ I have not heard anything about clarke plaza this year. I remember hearing some search for a new organizer for this year, so...who knows. The Yankee Smokehouse cruise ended prematurely last fall, we'll see if that happens. |
Weather is still looking good! Look for our ad in Thursday and Friday Laconia Sun.
|
Bump as a reminder. Might not be able to make it--if we do, it'll be closer to noon. Had a tree taken down at camp and need to clean it up before we can have our first fire!
|
Weather is on our side. Looking forward to tomorrow. Hope to meet some great new car people! See you there!
|
Thank you to all that attended! Nice to see Irish Choppers, and PatMan! We had such a good time, and good turnout, we are doing it again. Mark your calendars Sat June 6th 9am.

Great Event
Kudos to Weirs Beach Boater! It was a terrific event with lots of good people and great cars! It's always enjoyable to meet car guys from different parts of the Lakes Region and even better when they're part of this forum. That's a great looking Nova you've got there Patman! Looking forward to the 6th! Now... what car, truck or bike to bring????
|
It's time to do it again!
Sunday June 7th. Come on by. Bring your specialty, antique, or classic vehicle. We'll have the Coffee! 9am 181 Waukewan St Meredith NH 03253 Just off rte 104, 4 buildings down on the left. Finn's Garage!
|
Do you sell old cars, WBB?
|
I work with many collectors, as a consultant. Assist in the sale and purchase of antique, classic and specialty vehicles. Do you have one for sale? I know many buyers looking!
|
Any MOPARS for sale!
I had a 1968 Dart GTS 340 4 speed, 1971 Challenger R/T 440 six pack 4 speed, 1973 Challenger Rallye 340 4 speed and last but not least 1970 'Cuda ragtop with Hemi auto. All great cars!
I will buy in a heart beat a 1968 Dart GTS 340 4 speed if the price is right. I will even do mild restoration. This is my favorite machine. A light car with a light motor. A joy to drive after swapping out the OEM anti-roll bars with stiffer aftermarket and replacing all the bushings with neoprene. Anyone planning on going to the MOPAR Nats in Englishtown? |

ok ill keep an eye on this thread and hopefully I will be home for the next one. I own a trucking co here in Sanbornton that specializes in enclosed transport for motorcycles and classic and exotic cars. Headed out next week with some Vettes and a MB and a bike to the midwest, then loading up a C2 Corvette collection going from Arkansas to VA, from there its off to Florida to gather up my remaining snowbird customers coming back to NH. Should be back before the end of the month if all goes well!

Tis' the season! Let's Drink some Coffee, Talk Cars!
Saturday May 14th! Please bring your special vehicle. Last year we had everything from Model A Fords, to Ferrari. We do have limited parking for those that would just like to see the cars and trucks, but don't have one to bring. As always, this is a very social event, no pressure, no trophies, or loud music. Just like minded people enjoying cars and coffee! We do our best to park all cars so everyone can get out if they need to leave at any time. Starts at 9am usually lasts til 11 or 11:30. Last year we averaged 25 cars per month. I'd love to do 30 this season! Lot's of exciting things happening at the Garage. Swing on by to find out the details. All the fun happens at Finn's Garage 181 Waukewan St. Meredith NH 03253 Easy to find off Rte 104 look for the event signs.

I am probably not the best to answer this question, I am in sales, not the service end of the business. There are many small shops around, probably a few that would be happy to have a "fill in" or part time guy!

When?
Any cars and coffee this year??

Cars and Coffee
I attended my first 'cars and coffee' with my son-in-law last Saturday in Wallingford CT. It was not just about antiques and classics, it was about all things with wheels! Lots of tricked out late model vehicles as well as antique/classic has showed up. Even a food truck serving coffee and breakfast!
I say about 50 cars showed up, give or take as some arrive early and left early and some arrive late and left late. The comradery was excellent! I can't wait to attend one nearby! |
Yes!
Sorry to all my forum family. So used to all the FB groups now, I neglected posting here! Our first event will be May 6th 9am. For more info, www.finnsgaragenh.com Also look for our ads in the Laconia Daily Sun. This season for more consistency the Cars and Coffee event will be the 1st Saturday of the Month, May- Sept.
|
Tomorrow's event is rain or shine. We will have the Coffee and Goody Good Donuts here, also a selection of our cars on display. If it's too rainy bring your daily driver and stop by!

I am going to try and make this one!
Please explain the toy drive a little...who is it for and what kind of toy. I didn't see anything on your web site about it... Dan |
Cars and Coffee is at Finn's Garage 181 Waukewan St Meredith NH 03253
We are easy to find just off Rte 104, on the corner of Waukewan and Village Way. Follow the signs off 104. Dan the toy drive is explained in the Events page of the website www.finnsgaragenh.com But the readers digest is, I am collecting toys that will be donated to the Annual Lakes Region Children's Auction. Last year we donated over $500 in toys, and presented a check for an additional $500. I would like to beat that this year! |
Saturday August 5th
Just a reminder to my forum friends. Next Cars and Coffee is coming up Saturday August 5th. Don't forget a toy for our toy drive. See you at Finn's Garage 181 Waukewan St Meredith NH 9am. Easy to find just off rte 104, at the corner of Waukewan and Village Dr.
|
Rain date!!!!
We are invoking our Rain Date. Tomorrow looks too much like rain. Sunday Aug 6th 9am !
