Remembering Kent Anderson

Remembering Kent Anderson

Kent Anderson, longtime Glacier Lakes club member passed away on October 23, 2015 after a long battle with Multiple Myeloma. He put up an amazing fight over the years and seemed to bounce back from the brink more than a few times.  If you knew Kent, you knew he was a very charismatic guy and his fight definitely changed his outlook on life.

Many of you will remember Kent as the man behind KAR of MN which was one of the primary outlets for pre-owned S-Cars and UrQuattros in North America.  His enthusiasm for the cars was infectious and he’d been at it for a long time before I met him in 1995 or so. Case in point, he was member #27 in Quattro Club USA… those were some deep roots!

We’ll be putting together a bit of an online tribute to Kent here on S-CARS as well.  I’m digging through nearly twenty years of photo archives etc. and will be digging out some old school stuff that Kent would enjoy.  If you want to share a Kent Anderson story or picture, send them to me at ed****@s-****.org for inclusion.   Watch our social media profiles for links to our tribute once it is published.

For those of you in Minneapolis area who knew Kent, we encourage you to come out and celebrate his life at Redstone in Eden Prairie this Saturday!

//S Fest

//SFest isn’t your typical car show or meet, it’s much much more! It’s all about the meeting old friends and talking shop and what brings us all together is the love and passion of european vehicles. //SFest started it’s humble roots in PK’s back yard focused on the urS cars and slowly grew into an event that was so large for his house. Eventually the event ended up being hosted at Coventry Motorcar due to it’s size and now //SFest also encompasses all european cars.

We will be providing food, beverages and snacks at the event which will run from 11am to 4pm, soon after we will all be heading to the Bidwell Tavern for a post event meeting.

Last year’s event almost didn’t happen but thankfully it came through last minute and it might have been one of the most heart felt events. Shortly after SFest a long time friend and fellow enthusiast Steven Mills passed away. It was a great chance for people to see Steve one last time as well as for Steve to talk cars with everyone. Steve was a great asset to the car community and will be greatly missed! -RIP Boxflares-

Please remember that Coventry Motorcar is a place of business and should be treated at such. The local police are very tolerant with the event so please, no racing around town.

No camping or alcohol at the CMC facility please

The decision was made to not pursue sponsorships BUT Andrew at EMI Parts and Marc at EFI Express both came to us wanting to be part of the event and stand behind the community.
