Default Last ever Canepa C&C

I Attended today what has been billed as the last ever Canepa Cars & Coffee. Apparently some people misbehaved and it's being shut-down. If you've never had the chance to witness this place and this gathering, hopefully these pics give you a bit of the feel. It's simply magical gearhead land.

So much more I could explain but pictures are worth...

....but the ones that are here are amazing. I certainly gained a deeper appreciation for Bruce Canepa and his service to all things Porsche at Rennsport.

i reuploaded the pictures.

After this place, no car museum or show will ever be the same. The level of access up close to half-assembled ultra-rare and varied machinery is unmatched anywhere in the world.

How did people misbehave, causing the closing? Touching stuff they shouldn't?

I don't think so, nothing inside the place, more complaints from neighbors. Like people leaving the place in ford mustangs, which as you no is a "machina-non-grata" at C&C due to its propensity to spin and crash.

Too bad. Unbelievable place.

Spent an afternoon there a few years ago. Was amazing. This looks even better, having access to the shop area.

That is truly sad. I can't say i've ever been to a better display of fine autos anywhere in the world. Getting up close and personal with dream cars in various states of restoration is something I will always cherish. So sad that people can't practice common decency for access to something like this. Sigh.

Thanks for posting these wonderful photos.

I wanted to stop in there a couple months ago while visiting my wife’s uncle and aunt in Santa Cruz. I was unable to go due to time constraints.

Wow. Living so close, I'm really sorry I never visited. Maybe things will change someday.

Unhappy

The resto shop is amazing, the sales floor will make your checkbook whimper and the place is 356 and 959 heaven.
Sad that the 1st Saturday events are ending.

That's sad, this is on my bucket list for next year since my family lives near by.
