You probably thought nobody would show up on a cold mid-December Sunday... WRONG! The faithful, led by a large contingent of Mopar guys, came out in fair numbers. At least there was no snow, and some sunshine this weekend. Sean drove his 'vette, and Jay had his Mustang.

Bob S. brought his XKR, and I had my XK. Chuck drove his 911.
We even had someone drive his TR6 with the top down, as well as a newcomer with a Boxster.

Fair Lakes, 12/22/13
An unusual day, to say the least. It's December 22, but it was 69F at 7:00AM, but with a few sprinkles. Will anyone show up for cars & coffee? Normally, wet roads cut down a lot on attendance, and active rain all but kills any participation. This week, a couple of factors worked against these tendencies - first off, it's the weekend before Christmas. Secondly, last week we had snow on the ground, and many regulars hate missing two weeks in a row. Finally, IT'S WARM OUT!
The wet roads kept away the Ferrari owners, as expected. I was surprised to only see two German cars - they're usually abundant in 'weather'. (Gunther, was that you?) Several groups arranged online to gather today - lots of Ford Focus, several Camaros, the usual group of Mopar guys, as well as two NSX. We had 4 Jaguars, plus two that drove by. Bobert and I drove our XK's, and the local dealer brought out a V8 F-Type.
All-in-all, not a bad rainy morning.

More from today...
Bobert brought out his XKR Coupe, and I had my XK Coupe. Andy from Chantilly Jaguar brought out the V8 F-Type.
My car & Bob's 'Vette made a nice Christmas picture.

Best of Fair Lakes C & C - 2013
This morning, it was raining HARD. That's about the only thing that would keep me (and several others) from showing up to the Fair Lakes cars & coffee event on a Sunday. Since this is the last Sunday of the year, it's a good time to review some of the amazing people and cars that we have seen at Fair Lakes in 2013.
