Tennessee Cars and Coffee - gaging interest
Hello all,
Some of you in our area know I organize a monthly get together called the MTFR (Mid TN Fun Run). This event is a lot of fun, but I am wanting to do something in addition to this now. I know groups in Florida, Colorado, California, etc typically have a day set each month for a Cars and Coffee get together. Unlike our MTFR, this is pretty much a non-driving event other than getting there. I would like to see it beyond Porsche even. Maybe there is such a beast already here and I have just missed it... if so, please clue me in. Otherwise, I propose a monthly meet set on every "whatever" Saturday morning of each month. Where to have is another good question. Nashville is a nice choice, but then you get somewhat limited to Nashville folks. Memphis is another nice choice, but again, limited to Memphis folks mostly. Or, you could have it somewhere in between, like Buffalo, or Jackson. Jackson, would be a decent choice in my opinion, not just because I live here mind you, but because we have plenty of places to meet. Location wise, we are 1:15 from east part of Memphis Metro (Bartlett), and maybe 2 hours from most parts of Nashville. Buffalo (I-40 exit 143) is about opposite of Jackson from Nashville and Memphis, but not a lot of choices of where to meet. If we said we were going to do this every 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Saturday regardless of all else, people would know they could count on it. Again, I envision this as almost an impromptu car show, meaning we leave it open to all car enthusiasts. I am open though to other's opinions on this, maybe make it only german cars, or only sports and special interest cars, etc, etc.
Well, if you are in the area, tell me what you think. The floor is open, but leave your comments in this thread (http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforum...d.php?t=413016) so we can keep it all in one place from now on, and not clutter up tech type forums with this.
Thanks all,
Shane

Shane,
You link did not work so I will post here. Of course to me Nashville would be better as I am in Chattanooga. Also in case you did ot know there is a little car club called Tri-Lakes car club in Tulahoma, Tn that puts on an autocross the second Sunday of each month and also does a few Rallies each year. There autocross venue is a little small but what a grerat bunch of people and it is always a good time for just $20. You might want to think about coming over to their evwent. If you did your coffee thing on Sunday morning then get a group to caravan over to the Autocross. It is at Montlow State colledge just outside of Tullahoma.
