I have not done the guided tour, when you go to the monthly C&C events the whole workshop/warehouse is open for you to walk around on your own, so I just go through it on my own and take photos, and leave before 10AM which is when the guided tour usually begins I think. I don't think you will get additional access anywhere from the tour but I guess you will hear more about some of the special cars they have there or the projects they are working on.

Yeah, this fits my experience for my first time there this month.

@matchamochi, it's definitely a fun experience. They have some super unique and rare cars, as well as other awesome cars that they maintain and restore. I'm honestly quite surprised they're able to just open up everything for people to see the cars. I was so close to some super special cars that I could've put my oily hands on them (obviously I didn't, but I could have!!).

I don't know where else you can do that. Totally worth it, and honestly I'm thinking I'll go back next month LOL.

The tour is pretty cool. You get to hear a lot of the details about the cars, including how many hundreds of hours go into the restorations. You can always check out the tour and then bail if you're not into it.

Thinking of heading up again for this weekend's C&C. Anyone else interested?


@matchamochi since I think you may have been? ^

2018 Update --

It looks like Canepa will have only 3 C&C events this year ... the first one is this Saturday Apr 14!


if you'd like to join us and drive down Skyline together, we're meeting at 6AM at Alice's.


Alice's Restaurant, 17288 Skyline Blvd, Woodside, CA 94062

Alice's will not be open yet so bring your own coffee or light breakfast. We will drive from Alice's down Skyline to Hwy 9 to Scotts Valley to roll into the Canepa Cars & Coffee together.
Canepa Cars and Coffee Information

The Canepa Cars and Coffee season for 2018 is beginning to take shape! Below is some general information about our Cars and Coffee events.

Our events start at 8am and go till noon 3 times this season. Dave Soares, our docent of choice for Canepa, will be giving one of the epic facility tours at 10:00am at each show. Coffee and donuts will be served from 8am till 10am.
Can’t make it to one of the shows? Have no fear. Below we have a list of all of our shows that you can come to:

• April 14th, 2018
• June 9th, 2018
• October 13th, 2018

Parking is first come first served. The main lot is reserved for Classic, Custom, Performance, and LeMons cars only. Spots usually fill up before 7:30am so consider yourself warned! A Borgward that gets here early beats a Ferrari that gets here late.
We’ll see you there!

Canepa is so epic. I may go tomorrow. Prolly won’t leave the East Bay until 6:30am though.

Left at 6:15am from Berkeley and made it to the Vista Point at 92 and 35 before 7am. Had a clear road all the way down Skyline.

Just after the Highway 9 intersection I saw multiple families of deer. Scary!

Saw a few folks from the forums, and also checked out the R32 GTR my friend just imported. Sweet.

The Cizeta Moroder V16T was off the hook.

Some of my photos from today as well. Too crowded to take really good ones. But some interesting cars showed up, like 3 Pagani's, and several Skylines. There were also two Cappuccinos there, which was cool.

Some kind of RWB Porsche with these wheels that likely funnel additional air to cool the brakes. I haven't really seen that before in person, so that was pretty cool.



Cappuccinos. I'd seen the blue one before but the white was new. Such a fun looking little car.



One of my favorite cars since I was a kid: a Ford GT40 in a beautiful blue color:



Interior of one of the Pagani's. Quite amazing, but a bit too extreme for me:

@spike021 - Cappuccinos FTW!

Here's the Insta of one of the builds: https://www.instagram.com/brappuccino/?hl=en

I'm not sure everyone was as excited about the Giorgio Moroder part of Cizeta Moroder as I was:
