Cars & Coffee - Great Falls, VA Edition

[U n i o n 0015]

Pretty good showing on Saturday. It was an awesome morning, except for the douche in a purple GT-R that decided to cross the double-yellow to pass me on Old Dominion Dr. I was going 52 in a 40...apparently, too slow for our NoVA Sebastian Vettel who had to arrive at CnC all of one minute before me.

[dubjager]

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!

Ah, I would totally do it, but right now it is still in limbo as it is still rolling on its mexican plates (I bought it in Mexico but it is an American market car). My dad also fell in love with it on the drive from Mexico City so he has it back home in NY. I will probably bring it down later in the summer though!! The only thing is I wish it were a standard, but you can't have it all I suppose!


So, is this going on this weekend??

on par with my experiences with NoVA GT-Rs on the roads ... they're a special breed it seems.

I recommend taking G-Town Pike because of less traffic and a more interesting drive

[Mosbius Designs]

It's the reality of all Porsche, Merc, BMW, and exotics drivers in NoVA.

Going 10 over? You're going to be tailgated until there is any room to pass (legal or not), or the douche is going to be giving you the brights

(But to be serious, it does seem to be the worst with lease-spec 328i's and C300's )

nice! I am looking forward to this weekend. the rain last night WAS NOT fun to drive in.

[Robin]

Welp.. stupid car has been in the shop for 4 months but it's finally ready to go. Looking forward to chocolate donuts and seeing what cars come out this weekend.

[RaminGTI20]

i only have this terrible one:


it looked like wrap up close.

Its actually paint!!!! Talked with the shop owner who did the work. Here are my pics

[U n i o n 0015]

Jeez. I feel like a wrap makes more sense since you can keep the underlying color untouched.

Besides, AMG would paint the car from the factory any color if you so wished...why go aftermarket?

Somehow, I doubt it matters.

ah i didnt even know he had those auxiliary lights.

interesting that it's paint. i guess he really likes the matte blue.

[NightTrain EX]

I drove past this place today randomly. I thought...."I know this place....but from where?" Then I stumbled upon this thread (again) and realized I finally know where C&C takes place on Saturday mornings!

Haha, ain't that the truth.

[David@vwvortex]

Just a heads up if it's rainy/wet on Sat. I probably won't be out there. Weather is kinda looking "meh" but I don't think they overly know yet. So it will be a game time call if I drag myself out of bed.

The hourly is still showing sunshine in the morning. I don't know - if I get myself up at 6:00am on a saturday, even if it's raining I'm probably still in.

Even if not many people show up, I take a nice little cruise - and reward myself with a boston creme donut

I like your style.

Heck, it would be nice to get out a little bit. I am getting tired of DC anyway and need a drive...

[evosky]

i might show up but leave a little early. have an ultimate frisbee game in anacostia at 10

[dubjager]

A neighbor of mine confused Anacostia and Alexandria...

[Galrot]

What the hell is the thing parked next to the Mercedes? It looks like a Corvette with a '59 Impala bodykit.

[Mosbius Designs]

Forecast is looking good for the morning.

haha it is. i've been to the park along the river once before for a game. yes, it's a bit shady in that neighborhood, and the fields are terrible.

[Surf Green]

I hope that's AM

Instead of Frisbees, thy play with chrome 3-Eightys.

So this is every weekend? Just wanted to confirm that before I drove out to great falls at 8 am
Any tips for a first timer? This is the address correct? 760 Walker Road Great Falls, VA 22066

Yes, No, and Yes.

Starts at 7am.

[Robin]

Any tips for a first timer?

1. Probably best to park off to the side unless you bring something pretty stellar.
2. Don't speed around the area
3. Don't sit there revving your engine or blasting your stereo
4. Don't take all of the jelly donuts before I get there

[evosky]

FYI if you get there at 8, you will be parking in the back guaranteed, which is not a bad thing to do even if you get there at 7. you may miss some cars that have left by then as well.

also, this is a family friendly event (aka kids running around).

[David@vwvortex]

Hoping the weather holds out. We'll see what is up tomorrow morning. Ugh.. 6am..

[evosky]

my ultimate game is canceled whoo hoo!

[mhjett]

I skipped last weekend and we're in NYC next weekend, so I'll be there. Weather should be good, maybe a little cold but that's what the coffee's for.

[dubjager]

4. Don't take all of the jelly donuts before I get there

WAIT. There are jelly donuts!!?

[Mosbius Designs]

WAIT. There are jelly donuts!!?

And their breakfast bagel sammiches are extremely tasty as well.

[dubjager]

I had no idea there was food!

Well, rain or shine, FREE breakfast!

[Mosbius Designs]

You still have to pay for it
