One of Adelaide’s monthly ‘Coffee & Cars’ themed events, this one in the deep southern suburbs draws mostly street machines, a few hot rods, restored classics and some cool early Japanese cars tossed in the mix. Of course anything is welcome, but that seems to be the ‘flavour’. Beck’s Bakehouse is right next door for superb coffee & great food.

This event was a reunion of an event that happened for just 4 years in the 1980s (1983, 85, 87 & 89) involving street machine enthusiasts from both Victoria & Sth Australia. Resurrected for a ‘reunion’ gathering by Grant & Stephanie Zippel and Paul & Amanda Atkins, only original participants were invited to attended. The event was a wonderful time of rekindling relationships 30 years later. Six cars which attended the original Two State Runs were in attendance with their same owners which made the weekend extra special.

The concept of ‘Coffee & Cars’ organised by Roger Stoddart is long overdue in Adelaide so it was very much looked forward to. A great mix of around 40 cars atteneded this inaugral event ranging from hot rods & classic American to rare & unusual like an Ascort.
