Fuelfed Annual Thanksgiving Fallen Leaf Drive

The weather looks fantastic for our annual Thanksgiving Fuelfed Fallen Leaf Drive tracing the beautiful Heritage Trail. Coffee at the start and coffee at the conclusion. Camaraderie all the way.

Fuelfed Coffee and Classics Winnetka

The Fuelfed tradition continues every October in Winnetka when we feature members who dress in the era from which their classic was in production. The top three as chosen by our event workers receive a trophy for their creativity. We also encourage spectators to dress up.

Fuelfed Vinturo 3 Rally

Fuelfed Vinturo 3 Road Rally this Saturday immediately following our Coffee and Classics Douglas. Always an eclectic mix of classics on this mini rally.

The Birthplace of Fuelfed Coffee and Classics

Yesterday as we returned to the birthplace of our Fuelfed Coffee & Classics in downtown Winnetka some 12 years ago, we reflect on how our simple concept (thank you Highland House for being the first in 1963) pioneered the future of what is now the ubiquitous cars and coffee format.

Yesterday’s Fuelfed Coffee and Classics was far beyond the 24 first cars to arrive with George Klein and his E-Type being the very first that very cold September Sunday morning in 2010. In fact, we never dreamed to have over 220 European cars support our mission in Winnetka. Yet here we are, true to the original vision, grateful for the 1000s of people we have met and very proud of the large community we have built around a then small club of drivers we called Fuelfed.

Fuelfed Coffee & Classics Winnetka Featuring Ferrari

This Sunday morning (9.25), Winnetka will be seeing red as our 10th annual Ferrari feature takes over the streets. Only Fuelfed members and Ferraris for this one…no day passes this month.

We also want to thank @conautosports for being a continued Fuelfed sponsor all these years.

Zuffengruppe 5 August 21

The Midwest’s largest vintage Porsche event is 2 weeks out.

August 21, 2022
9am-2:00pm
Burlington Airport in Burlington, WI

@zuffengruppe is the Midwest’s original gathering for air-cooled and pre-1995 water-cooled classic Porsches.

Also new for 2022 is a special display area for pre-registered modern 911s, Boxsters and Caymans.

Zuffengruppe events have always kept things fresh with unique locations by learning from each previous event. 2022 brings us to the Burlington Airport in Burlington, WI. Vintage Porsches will be joined by vintage aircraft including historic Warbirds; most will be flying in from around the Midwest. Historic aircraft will be displayed next to Zuffengruppe Classics with our Vendor Village set between the two areas.
Zuffengruppe is always proud to support small and local by raising funds with a pancake breakfast served by the local high school and lunch served by the Burlington Fire Department with proceeds going to each.

Registered Porsches (classic & modern) will receive a reserved display space and the collectable Zuffengruppe swag.

Saturday night, August 20 is in the works for vintage Porsche street display in downtown Burlington in the quaint “LOOP” district from 6:30 to 8:30pm. Limited to 30 curated classic Porsches only.
