Eric Zausner, a Katie's regular, founded a Sunday Cars & Coffee to help replace the defunct Fair Lakes event. It's been going for several weeks, and I went out for the first time today. Looks like the numbers are already there - there were well over 200 cars in attendance today. Dulles Landing is less than a mile from the intersection of 50 & 606 in Loudoun County. The management has wisely contracted with local police to be on-site, to prevent the kind of problems that killed Fair Lakes. I got there shortly after 7:30AM, and there was already a crowd there.

Looks like it is drawing a mix of classics, modern muscle, and exotics.

A beautiful Sunday drive out 50, for a cool, overcast morning at Dulles Landing. This event has grown phenomenally in the several weeks of its existence.

Organizer Eric Zausner anchors it around his exotic custom hot rods, and his friends' hot rods and classics, but the modern muscle cars, trucks and jeeps, as well as a good amount of semi- and full exotics also come out in numbers.

I had my new Seven there, and met the owner of an S4 Elan FHC, which I had never seen before! I was only there about two hours, and spent a lot of time talking to people about the Caterham, which just arrived on Tuesday.

.....This event is very big for groups of cars - Jeeps, Focuses, etc... Two dads brought their young boys, and trailered their karts.

A friend asked me to go to the Dulles Landing C & C for a couple of hours, followed by a quick stop at Velocity Wings in the Eastgate Shopping Center, about 2 miles from Dulles Landing. The early-morning temperature was below 30F, so attendance was not as high as usual. (You can see quite a lot of frost in the grass in some pictures.) I'd guess there were about 40 of 50 cars at Dulles Landing, and a little less at Velocity. Some interesting vehicles at both.

What a mild Sunday, for the middle of December! Great for open-top motoring!
