After a long weekend of vintage car debauchery up in Elkhart, it’s time to get ready for this Sunday’s Coffee & Classics in Winnetka. This month we have a special treat at 10:30a.m. The north gate will part and a parade of 30 MGs of all vintages will make their way down Lincoln Ave and turn east on Elm towards the lake. Should be quite the rolling display of classic British iron.

Despite the sketchy skies, we are still on for Spontaneous Combustion tonight (7.12.17) from 6:30-8:30. Members check your email for location.

We are extremely proud of the forth coming short video by Nikko and Robert at bonafidecreators as they documented the heart and soul of the 2017 Fuelfed MotorGearo.
Stay tuned!

The horn sounds at 9:30am this Friday morning at the beautiful Village Park 200 miles north of Chicago as 30 Fuelfed drivers and their vintage European cars pull out for the start of a 500 mile motoring journey we call the Fuelfed MotorGearo 250. Our unique two day vintage motoring rally blends the best roads over 8 stages with the finest culinary experiences the midwest has to offer.
This driver’s event has earned it’s reputation as “the best driving experience you can have for under $1000 anywhere.”
This year, we are honored to have Nikko Salgado working his camera magic as he documents and produces what will surely be a stunning account of the on and off road antics.

We are proud to have the support of local partners in bringing the MotorGearo to the road in 2017:
Hagerty
BTR Chicago
Imports Unlimited
Northshore Sportscars
Perfect Power

Last month we had our first rain-out in the eight years we’ve been holding the original Fuelfed Coffee & Classics® in Winnetka. Let’s hope we dodge another thunderstorm this Sunday
Sunday, May, 28th from 9:00am to 11:00am for the first C&C of 2017. Yep, rain or shine.
First a little Spring garage cleaning.
1. Coffee & Classics is a private club event for current Fuelfed club members. C&C is not an open car show for every & any car. There are plenty of other car events with that format. However, if you have a classic European car manufactured prior to 1990, you can make adonation of $10 at the main gate for entry with your car. We encourage you to join Fuelfed and your $10 will be credited to your membership dues.
Members who have not yet received their 2017 membership packets, your name be will on the list at the main gate.
2. Please arrive at 9:00am, not 8:30am. Our village event permit states that we keep these times in check. Village parking enforcement will be in play before 9:00am and after 11:00am.
3. Those posting pictures online, we ask that give the courtesy to let others know you were at Fuelfed Coffee & Classics. And yes. Fuelfed has an official Instagram account #fuelfedcarclub.
