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.
Our 8th annual Fuelfed Motorgearo has been sold out since January. We’ve worked hard to create a unique experience that caters to vintage European cars and their owners. From the curated routes of varying terrain, to culinary exploration of bespoke local eateries, the camaraderie is at peak levels during our 3 day experience, placing the Motorgearo at the top of the vintage rally scene.
We are just a week out from our 10th annual Fuelfed Parts & Petroliana Event.
We are very excited for this years’ vendors. From Automodello and their insane model cars to Liverpool Motorworks and coming all the way from Pennsylvania with their high-end vintage tool tools and rally lighting. Four slots of Ferrari literature, parts, etc. Tons of Porsche signage and 911 parts to vintage posters and tools.
Motorcultura will be there with Three Pedal Bourbon, Canaffeine coffee, Motorivet driving gloves, aluminum signs and Fuelfed t-shirts.
Least we not forget what Tom and The Last Detail have on display.
Saturday, February 18th

The Fuelfed Buckeyes & Bourbon Rally takes the bespoke approach that Fuelfed is known for in rallying and expands to a new elevated format. First, we escape the long cold Midwest winter for warmer climates to explore the uncrowded and lush rolling roads only the western Appliachan range can provide.
Second, we’ve secured two unique accommodations rarely available for a relaxing multi-night stay. Dining & cocktails…what is a Fuelfed rally with out unique culinary & cocktail experiences? Buckeyes & Bourbon provides 5 days and 1500 miles of incredible driving with safely sampling the historic distilleries of Kentucky.
Finally, we are curating just 15 vehicles manufactured prior to 2000 to ensure a great mix of classics. All roads, accommodations and venues are well vetted by experienced Fuelfed rally organizers.

Wow!
What a great turnout for the Fallen Leaf Drive this morning. Our members are not afraid to drive their classics in wintery conditions. Honoring our motoring heritage and the US military who used our route today for over 150 years.
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.
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.
We haven’t seen Bill’s XKSS since our Gathering in the Grove Concours event back in 2018. Tomorrow’s British invasion may be the 4 year anniversary.
Our Coffee Corsa 2 Rally starts early-early in Barrington and twists its way to destination…Coffee!
Coffee Corsa 2 is presented by Dave and Imports-Unlimited in Highland Park.
Chilly but fun time this morning for the annual Fuelfed Thanksgiving Morning Spontaneous Coffee. Charlie drove down from Racine to debut his new to him 1963 Beetle. In typical gracious style, Charlie also brought historic Brendtsen’s Kringle.
