To me, this GMC cabover tow truck looks like a character from the Pixar move 'Cars'. I can hear Patrick Warburton's voice.
A 1980 HMV Freeway microcar, across from Allie's F40.
Twin Diablos.

The weather report threatened rain, but despite an overcast all morning, it never rained a drop at Katie's. Even so, turnout was lighter than it has been.
True to form, there were cars there we had not seen before. It's amazing how this happens, every week.
I certainly had not seen the '56 Dodge Coronet, nor the Cadillac ELR before. I think I had seen the Fiat Dino 2000 Coupe before, a couple of times.

A strange confluence of events this Saturday; overcast skies, with threat of rain. This kept many folks away. But - there was a charity car show up in Harrisburg, PA, and lots of people used Katie's as a starting point for that event. Overall, the amount of cars and people were down, but the quality did not disappoint. See for yourself.

Katie's History
10/31/09, 8:46AM - My first visit to Katie's. This is the entire attendance that day. Peter G's fire engine, Alan's Elise, my Elise, and a classic Mini. Still, it stuck in my mind, and I went back in Spring of 2010.
03/06/10, 9:33AM - I return to Katie's, and what a difference in attendance! Several Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Jaguars, and always a Lotus or two.
03/27/10, 8:16AM - Yes, we got pretty exotic stuff, even way back then!
04/03/10, 9:02AM - A pretty good indication of how many quality vehicles we got, from the start.
04/03/10, 9:51AM - The first 'official' Katie's C & C. One of my favorite pictures, since I love Miuras. Note that the parking lot is clearing out for the day. We got there no earlier than 7AM, and were gone well before 10AM.

Katie's in Great Falls, VA is now well-known for having a good collection of a great variety of quality cars, with cars we haven't seen before, pretty much every week. While it wasn't always as large as it is now, it did get a pretty good start. Here are some pictures I started taking, back in 2009, before Katie's C & C even officially started.
To give you an idea of what the mix of cars was back then, as well as what the C & C starting time was, above are some old pictures.

Heard it was crazy busy this morning! I was up in Maple Lawn to tag along with those guys for the PCA annual open house. Ended up checking out the red 458 Speciale that was at Katie's later in the afternoon elsewhere, though
