I've wanted to go, but it's a bit of a long drive and I find that looking at cars gets boring after 10 minutes.

Have you heard of the Eurotopia Cars and No Coffee meet? That's something I've really been meaning to attend..

I've a book on Japanese sports bike's on the late 70's\ early 80's - lot of shots of bikes at the Rock Store. I'd been through 2 of the same books in about 25 years. I think I wore the first one out reading\ opening it so much. Is the Rock Store as good as it looks ....... ?? Don't believe in bucket lists but that's one place I'd love to drive up to on a warm sun morning on my Africa Twin before I check out

It is, I've seen leno and Arnold there on occasion as well as Brad Pitt. It helps to get lucky and have the Porsche or Ferrari meeting there

It's probably more of sport bike haven than anything else but you can see hundreds of Harleys and hotrods of all size and shapes.

Couple it with a trip to Sturgis and you have a hell of a vacation

I know a bit off topic but if you like your motobikes (few pictures of cars as well) plus some pictures of the Rock store - this book well worth the money

If you get bored looking at cars for 10 min, then car and coffee isn't for you. because all you do really is to ... look at the car

I haven't heard of the Eurotopia Cars and No Coffee meet. In fact, I only found out from your post and then google. :)

You're right. As much as I'd like to check out some really special cars, I'd rather be out driving my own.

Thanks for sharing! I'd never heard of cars and coffee until recently getting sucked into the TV show Chasing Classic Cars. Man, I want Wayne's job.

Nice. Wish they did this in my area. Just a bunch of modified American muscle around here, which isn't exciting for me. Enjoy having events like that in your area.

I don't think that's a 575 with a package, I would bet its an actual full-blown race car...
