So this morning we traveled way past Blackhawk Farms to visit one of our select Fuelfed partners for a private shop tour. John and the @sportandspecialty crew can handle any restoration from soup to nuts with a bend towards British, Italian and German. It’s always enlightening to see what they have cooking and it’s a given that it’s executed with surgical precision.
The Fuelfed 2021 Drive season proudly saw the club grow again as well as felt the passing of a founder.
We totaled almost sixty events as we added our Coffee Corsa Rally series, continued the Coveste Charity drives, moved the Swap Meet outdoors and popped in countless GoGo-Joes.
We finally returned to the birth place of our trademarked Coffee & Classics after a two year pause due to construction and…well you know.
We also noted the shift in what classic European cars are trending off and those coming into vogue. Most importantly we have kept true to our focus on membership camaraderie.
It’s been a year and a half since we were able to gather on the street anywhere and Barrington was the first invite us back and we and hundreds of others were happy come. Our new format and location is an upgrade from the Foundry. So good to see old friends and greet new ones.
Join us with your Classic European vehicle for our final Coffee & Classics Douglas in beautiful downtown Douglas, MI on Saturday morning, October 3.
As a fitting drive season conclusion, we are having our Vinturo Rally leaving at 11:15am straight after C&CD. The Vinturo will be lead us on a 40 mile tour through scenic wine country and along Big Blue to conclude with lunch and tour of a members private collection and shop. Trust us, you will not want to miss this collection.
