People of a certain age might remember, when Johnny Carson hosted the Tonight Show, he arranged with the network to have Fridays off work. In order to keep his audience, the network would broadcast a rerun of an earlier show, and it was billed as 'Best of Carson'. In the bad-weather months, Cars & Coffee events are more sparsely-attended, and farther between. Today, 4 of us showed up at Fairfax Circle (Cameron's), and we were driving our 'winter rides'. For that reason, I am attaching some pictures from a Cars & Coffee from this weekend, back in 2012, at Kohl's, a late-lamented local Cars & Coffee. I'm calling this 'Best of Cars & Coffee', to tide us over until we actually have interesting cars to show. (I added a few more from later in 2012, for variety.)

I missed last Sunday, stuck at home with a cold. I missed a good time - among a few others, Paul came out in the 7-degree weather in his '32 Ford Roadster; very manly!


We had a bigger turnout this week, and great variety - my Seven, Dino's custom Chevy truck, Chuck's 911, Paul's roadster. Later arrivals had everything from a slammed Caddy, a jeep, a Cayenne, a Jag XK-R, and a couple of newer 'Vettes.

A small turnout at Cameron's today, but it's always good to get together with friends, and make new ones. (Several regular attendees are down at the Amelia Island car show this weekend.)

This event, which is held every Sunday at the parking lot on 29, near Fairfax Circle, has turned out to be a nice event. It's not big, but everyone is friendly, and the variety of cars is very good. Today, we had two Lotus, two Jaguars, two Porsches, a Corvette, a '32 Ford Roadster and a Fiero replicar. Bob Scates and his Esprit S1 are pretty regularly there.

A couple of regulars were out of town, but we still had an interesting group of people (and cars). The more-exotic cars will be out, AFTER all the salt on the roads gets rained away.


Come on out at 8:00AM on a Sunday!

I've been away from this C & C for a while; I met up with a friend today, before heading off to the annual Deutsche Marque German car show.

It was a quick visit to Cameron's for me today, since our local Lotus club had a meet scheduled for 11:00AM out in Leesburg, VA.

Actually, the turnout today at Cameron's (on the first non-rain-day in a week) was about as large as Katie's was yesterday, in the rain.


Dino was driven to Cameron's by his daughter, in her immaculate pink '57 T-Bird!

Only a few people showed up for cars & coffee today, but the parking lot was packed with people to see the thousands of motorcycles staged for Rolling Thunder in DC. We did have a few cars there, though!
Laura drove her C7 Corvette, Paul had his '32 Ford Roadster, and I was in my Seven. We never did meet up with whoever drove the MGA.

--Bob Collum

 

A good turnout - 3 Lotus, 3 Porsches, and an old Land Rover. Dino had his 512BB there, too.

--Bob Collum

 

A pretty good turnout on Father's Day - Bob Scates and I made sure Lotus was represented. Mike D. was there in his Porsche Cabriolet, and Paul M. was enjoying his '32 Ford Roadster, 'Henry'. Dino had his Lambo, and Bob Williams drove his just-purchased Porsche Turbo. A really nice bunch of people.

--Bob Collum

 

A good turnout this morning. Two Lotus in attendance - Bob Scates' Esprit, and my Elise. A small, but enthusiastic group, including a Ford GT, a '32 Ford Roadster, a Viper, several Porsches and Corvettes.
Thanks to Cameron's regulars, Mike, Chuck, Paul, Dino, Laura and Bob!

If Katie's on Saturdays is "too early" or "too crowded" for you, this Sunday cars & coffee event might just be for you. It's a small but enthusiastic group of car people, and Cameron's is a good little coffee and bakery shop.

It rained heavily last night, but was mostly clear and rain-free all morning. It's not supposed to rain until this afternoon.
A lightly-attended C & C this morning - but still a bunch of nice people!


--Bob Collum

 

Good weather, and a very good turnout today!
