Last Saturday, Bay Area Hoons caravanned from Oakland to the Santa Cruz Mountains for the Canepa Cars & Coffee event. I am breaking this trip into two segments because honestly, there is so much awesome, I’m afraid of melting the internet.
Vwminispeedster and his dad Henry, the hosts of Seconds Saturdays, organized this event. The rendezvous point was Henry’s garage, and about a dozen or so cars made it.
I hitched a ride with the Hanzels in a CNG-powered Crown Vic. The ride was comfortable. The handcuff-compatible rear shoulder belt that I wore was…painful.
The diversity of cars cannot be overstated. The lede photo captures it all. Stu_Rock’s Pug between two Monterey-ready Audi ur-Quattros. But just between you and me, the gray Audi’s owner was not amused.
The first car I speed-walked to upon arriving at Canepa was this Maserati Biturbo. I had a really nice chat with the owner and his wife. The owner was a bit frustrated with his baby and laughed when I told him that I have a Biturbo engined-coffee table. I regret turning down the offer to take it for a spin around the block. The interior was unlike any other car I have sat in. The seats were so rich and creamy, like buttah.
[Editor’s Note – That looks like Friend of Hooniverse & Big Muscle Host Mike Musto’s insanely awesome Dodge Dayonta]
I cheated with this photo of the two Jags. This was taken at the body shop next door.
I’ll conclude Part 1 with this WTF grouping. Stay tuned for Part 2, which includes nine Porsche 959s, countless 300SL Gullwings and roadsters, a Dusenberg, and a stainless steel shop bench that blew Tim O.’s mind.
