Cars & Coffee - Great Falls, VA Edition

[evosky]

Should be a good turnout tomorrow. I'll have to miss it though since I'll be in Pittsburgh

[David@vwvortex]

Taking this weekend off from C&C. In some serious need of some much needed sleep. Sure something incredibly cool will show up.

Same here. I need to rest up my liver for a wedding reception tomorrow night

[Nateblizzy]

Big turnout this morning.

Hey what camera/lens are you using for those shots? Maybe I'll try and come down there for the first time this year before it starts to feel like a bayou even at 7:00 am. I saw an F40 for the first time in person there last year- unforgettable.

[300_munkeys]

This is only ten min from my house and somehow I've never been

I don't know why I just always forget - and the weekends I remember, something always seems to come up on Saturdays. Hopefully I can make it in the next two weeks.

Canon 60d. Was using a 18-135 for a few, and a 50mm 1.8 for the exaggerated DOF ones.

[Geesixty]

Out... I'm with David on this one. Need sleep. Besides, this venue is a haul for me. It was easier to swallow with the VWOA HQ / Dubhaus meet.

[mhjett]

Looks like the rain will hold off until later tomorrow, but I'm out too... I usually hit every other Saturday.

BTW, Surf Green, I dig the GTI VR6 in your sig

[arethirdytwo]

So jealous we don't have an Austin C&C

[dubjager]

I can't make this one, but I would love to go next weekend!

Where is it exactly? Also, what is parking like for non show cars?.... ie my gti..

If you'd been at Houston's earlier this month, you'd have seen a McLaren F1. Come down some first Saturday for it.

Katies Coffee/Old Brouge - at the corner of Walker Rd. and Georgetown Pike. Plenty of parking around for all the junk as well

Let me know the next time you head out.. need to catch up and I want to see the Rabbit!

[David@vwvortex]

Hey.. look who decided to join the party.

Definitely will let you know next time I'm out there. I may try to go back out on 4/28, but we'll see what the gf has to say about that.

[arethirdytwo]

Good excuse for us to visit the sister and bro in-law. I need to make it, such a car nut and I have never been to a C&C. Figured moving to Austin would let that happen... nope.

[Surf Green]

but we'll see what the gf has to say about that.

This requires proof.

[dubjager]

Junk parking is always the best.. haha

It isn't too far from NW DC, I will definitely make it out there next weekend! Would be great to see you guys! Mosbius, do you bring the 944 or the GTI?

David, I've also seen pictures of your rabbit, would love to see it up close!

[David@vwvortex]

This requires proof.

Come out to C&C on the 28th. I'll see if she will roll out w/me. She has said she wanted to check it out.

She has NOT been in the Bunny yet. I'll see if I can talk Jason into bringing his white Rabbit out as well on the 28th(weather permitting).

[302W]

I'm thinking of going tomorrow, you think it will be good?

[Surf Green]

I'm thinking of going tomorrow, you think it will be good?

The weather should be nice in the morning, so I'm sure it will. With most of TCL taking the weekend off, you might even be able to find a place to park.

Just be wary of the Ffx Finest. They have a Decibel meter, and they aren't afraid to use it.

[302W]

No worries, I'll be riding in my bone stock car tomorrow. I hope there isn't a lot of park police on GW tho...

4/28 it is.. I'll bring my woman too

Tim, don't forget the Caravan.

I might be down as well? (with my girlfriend too!)

I have to work tommorow though, as always, but I'll try to take next sat off

944 - It's nothing special by any means, but I wish it ran as good as it looks

Ironically, today I drove the GTI more than I probably have total in the last month

David's Rabbit is the real deal. It tingles my VW fan inside me that I try my hardest to suppress.

EDIT: Just noticed your stable - screw the GTI, bring the E34 out!

I remember you from the HQ meet last year

All I have to say is **** Organic Chemistry I'll catch up with you guys once class is out.

[MrKevkevL]

Looks awesome Hope I can make time to go down to those meets this summer!

Jamie, right? I was looking for you at the dubhaus meet last weekend. Hope all is well.

[Charolastra]

Awesome showing today. My first time there. Someone please post professional looking pics. My highlights: Porsche 356 in super mint condition, Mclaren MP4-12C, Lambo Diablo, 991 convertible (the roof is amazing), Noble, etc. Good times!

[mhjett]

... Mclaren MP4-12C ...

Of course something new and awesome showed up.

[evosky]

ugghhh i can't believe i missed the mclaren
someone please post some pictures so we can all see what we missed this weekend

[David@vwvortex]

Damn it.. knew that McLaren was going to show up soon. I think the guy owns a gray 458 as well. Was talking to him about it last fall and he said he had one on order.

Funny that the weather turned out to be REALLY nice on Sat. after all the predictions of big rain, etc.

Let's hope this Sunday is nice as well.

[Mosbius Designs]

Yup, we got lucky on saturday for the wedding. Love this crazy weather we've had the last couple days, it was downright chilly out this morning!

[Charolastra]

Here are some shoddy iphone photos. One thing to note is how massive the carbon rotors are on the 458* (*those are 20" rims!).












Sea of Porsches (yours truly in foreground):

[evosky]

nice shots. i like the lineup of the porsches. interesting to see that the mclaren is also gray ... and the wheels on it look terrible to me. but a cool car nonetheless

[mhjett]

I agree, that color does nothing for the McLaren and neither does the color on the wheels. Makes the car kind of blend right in. I'd have gone with the orange.

I think the guy with this Noble lives close to me, I followed him from Arlington all the way to the show one morning.
