This past Saturday was the last official Cars & Cafe of the season as the temperature starts to drop and cars begin to go into hibernation here in MN, but we went out with a BANG! This was without a doubt the biggest event we've had all year and there were some truly remarkable cars that came out! Although it was a chilly morning, the cold didn't seem to dampen anyones spirits as nearly 500 automotive enthusiasts descended upon AutoMotorPlex!

Here's a sampling of photos I took at the event...

Redline Time Attack race Ryan Gates was in attendance with his AMS tuned Mitsubishi EVO X:

First yellow R8 I've seen:












































More to come....

 

Keep going!

 

 

Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoyed my photos. There's plenty more (166 pics total) in the gallery posted below:

Cars & Cafe 10/2/10

 

Awesome. Great work Alex.

Nice meeting you!

Here's what I came up with:





























All in all, I had such a blast. Great times.

Nice Pics!

 

Great stuff, Scott! It was nice to meet you.

 

Awesome pics Alex - as usual.

Sorry I missed it.. looked like an awesome turnout.

</drooling on the 599>

 

Yeah, this month's turnout was awesome. The 599 was awesome, as was the Diablo, just because it's rare.

I am dissapointed though that I always seem to have the only G37 there. Guess I just need to buy a Ferrari to fit in to the crowd better lol.

 

I know the feeling, EZcheese. I'm usually the only Crossfire there.

And just an FYI: I'm pretty sure that "Diablo" was a Fiero kit car...

 

amazing pics thanks!

 

You sure? I didn't get a real close look to it, but I snapped a few pics and if it's a kit car, it's a damn expensive kit car. It looks pretty authentic from the couple of pics I snapped. Of course, I didn't see what kind of powerplant was in it, so who knows. Here's the couple pics I took:

 

Yeah, actually since you got it in my head that it might be a Fiero kit car, I just googled a bunch of images. Not only does the interior match a Diablo (not close to a Fiero), there is one key feature that makes me believe it's an actual Diablo. Take a look at the seat belt. In my picture, the seat belt is mounted backwards, much like it is in a Viper. Where you pull it from the center of the car and it latches on the outside, as opposed to most cars (including the Fiero) that it pulls from the outside and latches on the inside. Here is a picture of another Diablo interior and you can see the seatbelt mounting points are the same:

 

Beautiful pics, thanks for sharing them.

 

Alex,
Only one word for your work:
"WOOOOW"!
Thank you,
