Caffeine & Gasoline; 1/8/11 10:00am

JoeyB and myself will be showing up to this event with our evo's. Thought i'd throw this out there and see who else was interested in seeing the McLaren M23-012?

8:00am

Griot's Garage
3333 South 38th Street
Tacoma, Washington
(888) 246-2646

Caffeine & Gasoline is fast becoming a must-attend event, and we hope you'll join us for the fun. Bring your favorite ride and chat with other enthusiasts over free coffee and donuts!

This month get up close and personal with the historic 1977 McLaren M23-012. This incredible machine was piloted by Jochen Mass to a season-best 2nd place finish at the '77 Swedish G.P. (check out this cool video summary). Knowledgable historians will be on-hand to show you the car's intricacies and answer your questions. Plus, you'll get a once-in-a-lifetime chance to hear the McLaren's 490 horsepower Ford powerplant growl as we fire up the car!

Caffeine & Gasoline takes place on the first Saturday of every month. Because of the New Year holiday, however, January's event will occur on the 8th. We hope to see you here!

We'll see how car everybody's car is with the 100% chance of rain on Wed-thurs and only a 80% chance on Saturday.....

If its raining then my car would get filthy just getting down there! No reason to wash it specifically for this event IMHO.

I was there around 10am in my red evo with the u.p. Garage sticker. I saw a couple others, but didn't know whose cars they were.

Next month it's going to be the yellow can-am car, apparently it sounds even better.
