Big thanks to Ann Devor and Paul from ZONC, the event was fun and the turnout was great. 32 cars showed up at ZCarGarage this morning! The line-up included Z32s, Z33s, Z34s, a 280zx, several 240z cars, a 510 wagon, and a GT-R:
We left ZCG around 9:30am and headed up highway 17 to Scotts Valley to visit the
Canepa Design Museum and Showroom. Rob’s newly street-ported Mazda RX-4 wagon made it’s debut and impressed everyone in the twisites 🙂 bap, bap, bap, bap! David Swig drove his restored 240z(for sale). An ’08 350z was rockin’ some clean Volk LE37s in gold on Pikes Peak White and the Green Z came out to play as well:
The museum and showrooms at Canepa were amazing. My favorite cars had to be the Brad Frisselle 240z and the Lambo Miura. But the 300SL gullwing and the BMW M1 were also catching my attention! Then there was that Porsche 959 in the corner. Oh, and the Kurtis 500! It was a candy store. Check the gallery at the end for more pics.
This 80’s Porsche had a significant Canepa modification: a complete drivetrain from Porsche 962 race car!!!
From the showrooms we visited the shop area. It was incredibly clean and tidy. We also got a taste of many types of cars Canepa works on from restoring Cobras, prepping vintage muscle race cars, souping up SUVs, and maintaining uber-exotic cars like the Bugatti EB110.
After touring the museum we drove to Boulder Creek to grab lunch at a local brewery. Then it was off through more twisty roads as we winded our way through Big Basin and down in to Saratoga via highway 9.
It was good to meet some new Z owners and you can count on more events with ZONC and ZCG in the future. So check the blog for event updates and enjoy the ride!
