I would most likely be down.

 

I’m in!

I can tell you cars were already arriving at the mall around 6am last time. That may have been due to some pent up demand since it had been a year a half since the last meet, but who knows? In any case, we may need to plan on arriving earlier.

We may also want to consider contacting Harper Auto about reserving some spots as they are the local Alfa dealer In Knoxville.

Fine by me! Does meeting at 7 and trying to arrive by 715 or 730 sound better?

Great idea. I'm dropping mine off for service on the first, I'll see if I can get a contact.

 

Bump, still planning on meeting at 7:00 as per the OP. Side note, does anyone know of a QV in the area with serpent badges replacing the clovers on the fenders? Saw him at the last C&C before I picked up my QV.

 

Not looking like I am going to be able to make it. Car is still in the shop... nothing broken just doing some fun stuff to it.

 

I'm still planning on going. The only thing that would keep me from attending would be a rain out.

 

Spotted today at UTMC! Y'all on here? We need to get a contingent together for the next Harpers C&C! I know there's a Monte Carlo blue running around too, and I believe a red QV. Where y'all at?!

 

Hello!

My wife came home from work the other day with a small, white piece of paper in her hand. After telling me that she had originally thought she had received a ticket of some sort, she explained what your note said, which was far more pleasant than the citation it was initially thought to be. Thank you for the invite to the forums! We would definitely be interested in joining in on the fun of attending a Cars and Coffee with the group, along with any other events that might come up. There aren't that many Misano Blue Giulia's around town from what I've encountered. The only other one I remember occasionally seeing was at the Ice Chalet on curling nights with the Great Smoky Mountains Curling Club, which was actually partially influential on our decision to go with a Giulia. At any rate, great to meet a new group and we look forward to meeting folks.

 

Giulia day in Knoxville! You on here? Car looks fantastic.

 

I spotted a Stelvio and a Guilia at Costco a few weeks ago. I talked to the Guilia owner, he was just finishing up his shift at Costco. He told me he had just bought the car, a red 2017 awd. I don't know if he's on the forum or not, but I told him about it.

Anyway, next C&C will likely be late April. There has to be at least a dozen Alfas in the Knoxville area. It would be nice if we could get a few to show up.

 

I would love to get a little group together, I bet we would have a great time with a monthly dinner or something. I left a napkin note on my doppelganger to try to get them on here.

 

Sorry for the scare! I was so excited to find another Misano Blue QV, I had to leave a note! Hope you see you around!

 

Harper's just announced their first C&C event for 2022 will be on Sunday, April 24th

Harper Auto Square's Cars & Coffee - April 24th, 2022

 

I'm game - I live about 2hrs north (near Asheville NC).

 

Smaller cars and coffee at European Auto Garage this Saturday at 8AM. I'll be there!

1229 Lovell Rd
Knoxville, TN 37932

 

I saw that, but man it's going to be in the low 20's Saturday AM. I think I'll pass on this one.

 

First Harper C&C of the year is this Sunday, 4/24 at 8:00! Let's meet up at Office Depot down the road at 7:00: 7111 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919.
Who's in?

 

Ha, just have to say that I applied for "SCUS1" as my New Mexico plate for my QV. Just saw yours.

 

Working on my inviting Giulias to cars and coffee technique.
@kennysum1 @RobbyMac @aclemons6970 y'all planning to come?

 

I'm not going to be able to make it to this one, but will definitely aim to be at the next one. Sorry I cannot make it this time. Thanks again for organizing a group!

-Rob

BTW - Love the new invite technique!

I just now saw this - did I miss it already? Man, it's hard to convince myself to get up at 5am on a Sunday to go, since I live 2hrs away.

 

Well you have another chance because the next event will be on Sunday, July 24 of this year.

 

Next Sunday, people! Who’s in?

I clearly missed this message and C&C this month. I ran at Road Atlanta on Friday and had to prepare for a trip on Monday, just could not give up the time to join. Sorry, but thank you for the invite... gonna make it happen soon!!

 

@Romba I will do my best to be there. Same time / Same Place as last C&C?

 

We’ll do the Office Depot at 7111 Kingston pike again, but let’s shoot to meet at 6:30. Traffic was totally insane last time.

 

I will be there. Thanks for arranging the time and place.

 

@Romba Thanks for inviting me along today. Good to meet you and please let the others know I enjoyed meeting them as well. It was great to get out of the house for a while and chat with other car enthusiasts. Hope to see everyone at the fall Cars and Coffee.

 

@RobbyMac thanks for coming, it was a good time! Next time we’ll figure out a better meeting spot and hopefully get a few more Alfas out!

 

Next one is October 23, folks, get it on your calendar! If we can get a decent contingent planning to come, I'll reach out to Harper Alfa and see if they'll save us some spots next to their usual two-car display. I'm going to work on a better meeting spot for this one.

 

Coming up next weekend! Roll call? @RobbyMac @kennysum1 @aclemons6970 @EliseAutoXr @lflouie @TN_Alpha @FootStick
Like I said, if we can get some confirmed attendees I’ll see if the Alfa dealer wants to give us some reserved spots. Otherwise, I still need to find us a better meetup spot, I have some ideas. But also, we might shoot for a touch earlier as painful as that is. It’s just already so packed even that early.

I recently bought a 2021 Giulia QV and live in Knoxville area. Love to have an AR section set aside for 10/23 C&C. Let me know if you'd like another AR. Pls pm for contact info.

 

@Romba , I will be there. Had our Giulia in for the 30K service at Harper this past week, and when I went to pick it up, a matching Misano Blue QV with the Ceramic brakes was parked behind our car in the service bay. I know you had mentioned contemplating doing your own 30K service, but first thought was that it was your car. I look forward to seeing everyone.

 

My car was indeed there this past week, but I have steel brakes. Just in for a couple odds and ends, I’m going to do that belt service myself in the next month or two. See ya next weekend!

 

Alright folks, lets meet up in the parking lot behind LeConte Title, whose address is 302 Montvue Rd NW, Knoxville, TN 37919

I would suggest getting off at Gallaher View and coming up Gleason Dr NW to avoid traffic on Kingston Pike which is always a total mess even at this hour. Then we can just pop out on Montvue and a few hundred yards to the event entrance. We met at 6:30 last time and the place was already pretty full, do we want to try 6:00 this time or is that too insanely early?
