Cars and Coffee, Darien, Connecticut – Season Opener – April 13th

More than just a “cars and coffee” event, Cars and Coffee Darien blends the casual atmosphere of a Sunday morning cars and coffee with a car show – except that there is no cutoff year, and there are no rules about what you can bring: cars, trucks, Jeeps, and motorcycles of any year are all welcome.

Cars and Coffee Darien is the only event of its type anywhere in the world with a direct connection to the Cannonball races of the 1970s. Known for being a family-friendly event, it is quite common to see multi-generational families, and young parents with strollers walking about. We’re also pet-friendly, and we encourage you to bring your [leashed] 4-legged children. (more…)

Cars and Coffee Darien, CT – Final event of 2024 Is This Coming Sunday

This month, our theme is Marques from Spain, France, Sweden the Pacific Rim (Japan and Korea)

We’ve had a great season. Seven events under our 2024 belt, and only one had any rain (so far). Will our luck hold? Well, it IS November and this IS New England, so anything is possible.

Bring what you’ve got and don’t worry about whether it’s cool or not. As long as you like it, that’s all that matters. As usual, all makes, models and years are always accepted. Our events are about the people and not just the cars. (more…)

If you made it out to Goodwives for last Sunday’s 2024 Cannonball reunion, you were treated to another great show. Cannonballers Pam Yates, Brock Yates Jr and John Miceli were there. Dennis Tretter brought the second Cannonball Challenger, and several of the C2C racers came with their cars. Pete Boccarossa from Bocca Motors came down with one of his Lamborghini race cars and opened it up for anyone to climb into for photos. And John C brought a classic red Ferrari 365 GTB “Daytona” that has been in his family since it was new. (more…)
