    PTSRS Plans NYC Cars & Coffee February 18

    There’s no question that PTSRS is one of the most prolific social media specialists in the tailored car space, known specifically for proficiency on the subject of special build Porsche models. PTSRS has been known to throw in with special events in and around the genre, like 000 Magazine‘s Rare Shades Monterey Car Week feeder event held a few years back. Now, PTSRS is planning a relatively casual cars and coffee in Manhattan for next week, so we wanted to help spread the word.

    Event Details:

    In a post on Instagram (embedded above), PTSRS shared details on the Tribeca event:

    “Heads up! Next Saturday Feb 15th 9-11am, I will be hosting my first ever @ptsrs Cars & Coffee in New York City, together with my friend @porschestimmung of @metronypca.

    It will be at Laughing Man Cafe (@laughingmancoffee) in Tribeca. Join us for good vibes with great people and excellent coffee. We have an awesome community of readers here in the New York metro area, so I’m looking forward to this first gathering.

    “Please RSVP in the Eventbrite link in my bio. It will help us plan for headcount and spaces. Limited parking.

    • 🗓️ Saturday, February 15th 9-11am
    • ☕️ Laughing Man Cafe (@laughingmancoffee)
    • 📍 184 Duane St, New York 10003
    • ✅ RSVP @ link (on Eventbrite HERE.)

    Our Take:

    Yes, it’ll be cold and it will be New York City where space is always a challenge. However, a cold New York City morning means parking in the area should be ample. That last part is important to know, because at the time of this writing the set spaces PTSRS had reserved for attendees are reportedly already spoken for.

    The event listing on Eventbrite shares that the event is open to all makes and models, so we’re not certain how Paint to Sample focused it will be. Also, it’s worth noting the toll structure around New York City. The event listing advises getting into the congestion zone by 9AM to pay the weekend overnight amount ($2.90 w/ E-ZPass) for all day access to points in lower Manhattan.

    We’re planning to attend, and will provide coverage if the turnout is notably tailored. See you then!

    Event: BMW Individual Cars & Coffee Hosted by the 490Club

    It’s great to see tailored cars coming into their own as an impetus to have a gathering. Sometimes it’s something as large as Rare Shades or a simpler club gathering like the one we recently had the pleasure to attend. Held by the 490 Club and organized by Gabriel Roque, it was primarily a mix of BMW Individual owners who gathered on January 4th Buenas Cafe y Mas in Costa Mesa, CA.

    The gathering was open, meaning all makes and models were welcome at the gathering. However, designated parking went to the tailored BMWs.

    The mix of Individual cars was an enjoyable focus. First up were two M3s parked next to each other, one F80 and another G80.

    Some of the cars in attendance to highlight: two laguna seca M3s. one F80 and the other one G80, they later parked next to each other at the show. Another car you couldn’t miss was Liz Susitko’s Mint Green F80 M3 – one of four produced worldwide. More subtle, but no less notable was another F80 M3 in Moonstone Metallic.

    We’ve run a gallery from the gathering below. Check it out.
