Cars & Coffee Monthly

[Rennen]

Hi all. C&C now has a monthly schedule and takes place in the valley (Brisbane) on the fourth Sunday of the month. A website has been made with listings and eventually hundreds of photos.

This is an open invitation no matter what you drive, and as always is a no cost/ no sales environment. Would love to see some of you there and put names to faces to cars to user names :occasion5:

Just thought I'd let you know your site is down. But If we are in Brissy when you have these onwe'd love to come along.

Thanks mimurphy. We have stopped them for now - too much else going on. Happy to have a coffee with you though :occasion5:

I am organising to come up to Brissy soon, are you still doing these runs...?

When will you be holding another one of these runs, I'm new here and would love to meet up with some of you.

Ok guys it has been a month since I posted the question, and no response, I guess there is no one in the Brisbane area wanting to go on a cruise or get together.

This forum appeared to be the hub for Merc owners as it seemed to be the only forum around that actually catered for the older models. :dance:

I am keen to arrange a meet up with other owners as I am new to the MB world and would like to be able to glean some wisdom and tips from some of the more learned. I happy to go on a cruise, arrange a BBQ or just a coffee.

Any response would be appreciated. My apologies if this sounded like a bit of a whinge it was not my intention.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Not sure what sort of car scene your are into, but there are 2 regular meets in Brisbane, but not for old Benzes specifically. These meets are mainly young/ish guys with they're hotted up jap cars etc but there are a few old Benzes that turn up now and then, particularly W108s. Mainly lowered with dubious paint jobs but the W108s seem to be getting popular with the younger guys now.

One is Downshift at the Rocklea showgrounds every month and the other is at Harry's Diner in Wilston every Thursday night. I go along and look around now and then with my 280CE or 3.5 so if you want to go, make a forum post and Ill come along too and we can have at least a couple of old Benzes there.

Hey Paolo

Thanks for your reply.

I'm not really in any car seen, I guess Oldies and Classics, Now MB
I looked into both of the events you mentioned, Downshift like you said is probably more for the Boy Racers, but Harry's has an event
"If you have a car with STEEL BARS or a CARBURETOR then your invited from 6.00PM to 11.00Pm First and Third Friday of every month"
This I could plan to be involved in, but I was looking to see if any of the guys from the forum would get together on a regular or even irregular outings.

We can maybe try for November as I am waiting on surgery which may happen in the next couple of weeks, so gives plenty of time to plan for it and maybe even see if others want to come along.

Hi All

Just reading this post, and it reminded me of an idea, so please let me know if you are interested...

Coffee and Cars for Older Stars

So, a bi-weekly or monthly Coffee and Cars but for old cars, say 20 years or more....Not sure if turbo'd Jap cars are what i would be wanting, more, classic cars of all makes that were as built, and or old cars with that hint of "hoon" added...

I was thinking along the foreshore of Hamilton Harbour somewhere.... I could arrange a coffee truck, we could have people bring cars and parts to swap/sell etc...

Would be a half day event, maybe 8am to noonish....

What does everyone think?

I would be happy to contact the council and organise, and if there is a cost to the council, we could ask for a gold coin donation to show your car.

cheers
