This past week was filled with strange weather; nice & temperate early in the week, with violent thunderstorms Thursday, and high winds (including some tornadoes in the area) on Friday. Saturday was cold, clear & GREAT!

Very nice, ST4K!
A beautiful morning - in the mid-fifties before 6:00AM. As you'd expect, a very big turnout at Katie's this Easter weekend. Here are some interesting vehicles we had not seen before.

The roads were wet, and it was gently sprinkling when I arrived at Katie's at 5:30AM. While that generally means low turnout, and much fewer exotics, there are still interesting vehicles & people there.

I try to never miss Katie's. This morning, it was in the 60's at 5:30AM. Spring is here!
Here are some vehicles we had not seen before - the Chevy Woody was very nice. UMBC brought two Baja Buggies, this one with the sidewall-less tires. Mike, here with the Ducati he just bought back after about 20 years, plans to take this bike to El Mirage Lake this summer, to seek a class world speed record with it - good luck!

The first Saturday of May - very clear and pleasant when I arrived, but it clouded up. Rain was predicted, but for later today. That was enough to keep lots of people away; we didn't have more than the front lot, barely full. Still, some good stuff!

It was 49 degrees and raining when I arrived at 5:30AM - it was still 49 degrees (though not raining) when I went home at 7:30AM. I met a couple of friends for breakfast, and we left when it became apparent that most people stayed away. Still, there were some interesting vehicles...

Another beautiful morning, another terrific turnout at Katie's. It still astounds me that we regularly have vehicles none of us have seen before! (That gold Alvis certainly qualifies!)

It rained early this morning, but cleared up by 5:30AM. That always causes people to arrive later than usual to cars & coffee. I arrived at my usual time, and was the first one there, by almost 10 minutes.

A great turnout today. Strangely, this is the first time we have had people park down the both sides of the entrance road from Georgetown Pike, across from the fire station. It only left a single, narrow lane to get in or out.
Does anyone here own the Exige? I hadn't seen it before.... Love the wheels!

Great shots! I've never seen so many cars there before.
I have a question about parking protocol. I was backing into a spot this morning but there some guys standing in the space who said they were saving it for their friend. I said you can't save spots but they wouldn't relent so I had no choice but to park elsewhere.
In all the years I've been going, I haven't ever seen a space being saved before. Is saving spots normal and OK? If so my friends and I could take turns sleeping in a bit later
