Canepa Design Open House

[bngl3rt]

Today I met up with some other car folks from work and we drove from San Jose to Canepa Design in Scots Valley. They were having an open house today and invited car enthusiasts everywhere to bring their favorite toys.

This is also the first time I got to take my freshly-detailed new NSX and my lady with her SLR out at the same time so many glorious photos to follow.

And yes, I know the bumper is chipped as hell and needs a respray. Could probably stand to refinish the wheels as well... it's all on the todo list!

Coworkers' cars:

Shelby, Lambo, WRX, mine, GT3, Elise, E55, slammed Z, slammed Infiniti

Later, fellow Prime member bnesse showed up in his Yellow NA2.

Canepa Design restores and sells classic/exotic cars... they have probably the world's largest collection of Porsche 959s.

They had a 1987 Carrera GT that I would have been sorely tempted by had I not just bought an NSX :smile:

Ill have to check this place out. Never heard of it and its only 30-40 mins drive.

That looked really nice.
My NSX unfortunately suffers from the same fate as yours. Rock chips all to hell

I think some of the Sacramento guys are going this weekend, check the Norcal forum.

Yep, I'm looking for a place to do the respray, just concerned about getting an exact color match. As you can see I'm all about the purple

Might have to go check it out too - I heard Scotts Valley has this secret sushi place better than most places in the city!

My family went to Canepa with the Sacramento NSX folks yesterday. We had a great time and a two-hour tour with one of the two owners.

Here's my photo album:
