    Quiet turnout today...I'm guessing because a lot of people (like myself included) thought this was going to end last Saturday, but it will indeed keep going until the weather gets too bad for people to tough it out. Anyways, on to the pictures (I apologize in advance for the crappy quality):

    V8 Vantage - the owner has used this as his daily driver for the past 8 years


    Old and New


    Stingray - this thing was MINT


    2800CS - I can count the amount of these I've seen in person on one hand


    Token TCL 2002 shot


    Gorgeous early 911


    635i badged as an M6 ...still very purdy though


    My jalopy parked next to a sweet Defender


    Lambo


    Not a fan of the wheels, but I'd still take it


    And for our Audi:
    Euro-spec RS5 - guy from Audi brought it out. Real nice guy...he said that we won't get the RS5 in this generation, but it's almost a definite that we will for the next A5 style. I'm hoping he brings something nice out next weekend as well






    Again, sorry about the poor quality...I had my camera's settings all sorts of messed up this morning.
    I love all cars, I just happen to own a few pieces of german crap at the moment.

    Here's some more decent ones:







    This was really cool - I hardly ever see any more Javelins in great shape like this. My Mom had one when she was my age, she STILL talks about that car. One day when I'm rich I'll buy this one for her

    It's great that this event stays on the VW/Audi reps' radar. First the Golf R, now the RS5

    Isn't the RS5 confirmed to be available in the US in 2011/2012? Or what do you mean by we won't be getting it this generation?

    Sorry dude.. totally my bad. I woke up at 9am(got back last night from a business trip) and my brain checked out.

    If it's nice next weekend I'll definitely be there. Not too many more chances to run the car around. Supposed to be a nice week so let's hope that last until next Sat.

    I think what he meant was that the car will receive a mid-cycle refresh before it shows up here. That would mean model year 2013.

    The RS5 is simply magnificent. The rear reminds me of a Maserati GranTurismo, but that isn't a bad thing.

    I overheard more than one guy say that it was actually a 635i. That's all I got.

    There is a red M6 that shows up frequently as well.

    To the guys down in the DC area right now:

    What's the weather looking like down there? Is there any chance things will hold out until Thanksgiving weekend? I'll be back in town then, and I'd really love to come check this out.

    The weather is gorgeous right now. It's going to be in the low 60's for highs all this week. I don't know enough about this even to honestly say if it will keep going through Thanksgiving weekend, since I was one of the guys that thought it would be over after last weekend. It's definitely on for this coming Saturday.

    If you want to PM me after each saturday, I'll keep on the lookout to see if the sign is out there to note that it will keep going.

    Nice pics, the RS5 looks so much better with the front chin spoiler painted body color instead of grey. I'm a big fan although I'd probably take a CTS-V over it.

    Even the guy that drove the RS5 was gushing about the CTS-V. I'd love to just drive any of them once.

    Oh not at all

    This guy was very down to earth, and seemed very certain about what he was saying. Usually I have a pretty good BS meter, but I didn't sense anything forced about what he was saying. Time will tell
