A Crisp Close: Wrapping the 2025 Cars & Coffee Season with Iconic Builds

Car and bike culture may be seasonal, but we here at Turn 14 weren’t about to let the sun set on our 2025 Cars and Coffee featuring Motorcycle Alley season quietly. This past weekend, we packed the lot of our HQ in Horsham, PA, with the sights and sounds of a proper sendoff to this season’s Cars & Coffee Series.

The crisp October morning soon gave way to the lingering warmth of summer as early birds lined Tournament Drive, eager for a prime parking spot and to beat the line for Brood Coffee Truck’s caffeinated concoctions. The still morning silence was broken by the steady hum of performance machines and distinct chatter of Ducati dry clutches, all carrying folks for one last chance to share their builds and celebrate community.   

And what a community it’s become.

Routinely Unroutine

Cars & Coffee at Turn 14 Distribution is designed to stand out from any other car meet. From unique builds to a carefully curated feature row, and inviting our partner vendors and customers along for face time with enthusiasts, our headquarters turns into a whole event space. Even with the constant cycle of upwards of 600 cars and a record 150 bikes, we still strive to deliver on the laid-back vibe that’s expected at Cars & Coffee. 

For this edition, we welcomed back Continental Tire as the season’s Motorcycle Alley partner, displaying the wide selection of premium rubber for two-wheeled machines while supplying riders with long-sleeve T-shirts, helmet bags, and leveled-up storage with their Nelson Rigg tank bags. To celebrate the end of the season, the fine folks at Continental also doubled down on their tire giveaway, offering up two fresh sets of tires for a pair of lucky riders to win.

Air Lift and Vibrant Performance supported the automotive side of this event. Air Lift came out in full force, displaying its full range of suspension components both in the booth and on the VA Subaru STI the company brought along. Air Lift also energized the event by picking up the tab for the first 100 coffees at the event. Pups parading around any car meet isn’t an uncommon occurrence, but adopting one might be. We were thrilled to welcome back local dog rescue Harley’s Haven for this event, along with the two adorably adoptable dogs looking for their new forever home.

Showstoppers on Four and Two Wheels

These events provide a steady stream of distinct builds, ranging from complete, ground-up performance builds to faithful restoration projects that appear to have dropped out of a time portal. Between the unique engine swaps, rare imports, and fire-breathing machines, there were a few vehicles that especially caught our eye.

Two-Four Combo

One standout came courtesy of Scott Detwiller from Skippack, whose rig was too good not to bend the rules for. His 1997 BMW 320i Touring started its life as a family car in Germany, before immigrating to the US to serve as the ‘slow’n’low’ motorcycle hauler. Fitted with BC Racing coilovers and OZ Mito 3-piece wheels, it certainly makes a statement with its precious cargo trailing behind. The real story was in tow: a 1979 BMW R100RT, chopped and rebuilt in bobber-meets-café style, complete with a hand-built exhaust and Harley Dyna rear suspension. This work of mechanical art is still in progress, but it still had a magnetic pull on automotive and motorcycle enthusiasts alike.

Mighty Mini

On the smaller-but-mightier side, Ronald Ng brought his 1998 Mitsubishi Pajero Mini VR-2, a kei-class off-road crusader determined to stand tall amongst the CTS-Vs and Evos it was surrounded by. Lifted 2 inches on KYBs and rolling on 215/75 Yokohama Geolandars wrapped around 15×7 Rota Grids, this micro-machine parked with presence and a shoulder above the rest. “It’s not about performance stats,” said Ronald. “It’s the reactions, the joy, and the uniqueness. People light up when they see it. It’s a reminder that driving should be fun and different.”

Easy Miles, Hard Style

Over in Motorcycle Alley, Justin from Trenton, NJ, showed up with his 2008 Harley-Davidson Superglide. A recent convert from sportbikes, Justin is leaning into a more laid-back riding style these days. Outfitted with Legend Suspension and bar risers, he’s keeping it mostly stock for the time being and enjoying every mile.

Reduce Weight, Add Lightness 

Max’s 1999 Lotus Elise S1 is a rare sight on this side of the Atlantic, and the raw driving experience even rarer. Recently imported from Scotland, the aluminum and fiberglass combination puts this machine firmly in the featherweight class at 1,500 lbs, making the most of its modest 120 hp. The Elise rose to notoriety with its uncompromised approach to handling performance. No ABS, no AC, no airbags, just a pure connection between driver and machine. By only barely breaking triple digits in the U.S., this first generation Elise turns heads and tightens corners in equal measure.

Desmo-riffic!

Zack made the ride from Hatboro, PA on his 1998 Ducati Monster 900. This restoration project started as a collection of parts purchased from the original owner who’s build project stalled in the early 2000s. Over the last six months, Zack brought this Italian steed back to life, freshing up the fuel system, syncing carburetors, wrangling the Desmodronic valvetrain, while polishing up the iconic red and gold combo that put it right at home next to the pair of Ferrari 360s in the center circle. 

Priority Mailer

Finally, it was hard to miss the WRC-inspired 2002 Subaru WRX adorned in a USPS-themed livery. This WRX is built to send and deliver, with owner Grant of Grant’s Garage and Menard Premium Detailing sparing no expense to create a true rally driving experience. Spanning across our automotive line card, this build features AST Suspension, Perrin Performance, and Mishimoto cooling products, Yokohama tires, and plenty more. From a stripped-down interior trimmed with Alcantara, full roll cage, and topped with a pair of Sparco bucket seats, this WRX is more than a tribute; it’s a purpose-built, street-legal homage to Subaru’s golden age of rallying.

A Season in Review

As we pack up the cones and fold up the tents, we wanted to take a look back at our trio of early morning meets. This year, we hosted over 2,000 cars and 375 motorcycles, transforming our HQ lot into a rolling gallery of passion, creativity, and horsepower. Eight key sponsors helped make it possible, including Continental Tire, Hawk Performance, Vibrant Performance, Dainese, Air Lift, NAMZ, Magnaflow, and Fluidampr, providing guests with an up-close look at what each of their brands has to offer, while also providing some lucky attendees with complimentary coffee, fresh rubber, or better stopping power. For a trip down memory lane, check out our 2025 recap video: 

We saw a Sherp, an ever-growing motorcycle community, and countless unique builds. We also gave away our FL5 Civic Type R SEMA build and helped plenty of wayward pups find their new homes. Thank you for a stellar season. We’re grateful for this two-and-four-wheeled community, and we can’t wait to see you all next year!
