You had a great day& turnout for it.  Thanks for chronicling the event!

Thanks to Marshall and Janice for hosting!  Great weather.  Excellent food.  We ran them out of coffee. Missed several regulars.  Would have been neat to have Daron park his turkis car with Brad and Anne Marie's car.  Maybe next time.  Almost didn't recognize Dudley when he pulled up in his X5 not wearing his signature ball cap.

 

Matthew's 71 Bavaria is super nice.  He has a list of "to-do" items but the car is really nice looking.  He will be driving to Vintage 2017 in comfort and style.

Thanks Marshall for a great event hosting all of the people who wish they had

a garage as nice as yours. You and your wife have certainly raised the bar.

A great morning enjoyed by all.

That collection of vehicles does not suck in the least.

Great pics, looks like a good time was had by all. Maybe on the way back from The Vintage I can see the place in person.

 

Matt's Taiga Bav looks really nice.

I almost want to say I live on the wrong coast.   Almost.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great turn out Marshall. Really impressed by your garage and your choice of friends and their choice of money pits. Bless you.

i live in a unique neighborhood. our twice a month local cars and coffee event draws 20-50 cars from unrestored model "a"s to new ferraris.  old pickups, muscle cars, original owner 356, motorcycles, lotus (old), mgas, vettes, cobras, triumphs, cortinas, austins and more.  it is VERY local..like "in front of the mom and pop hardware store and gas station at the end of the street" local.  most of the cars are from a 5 mile radius.

 

but cars are just a great way to meet like minded gearheads.

I'm bummed.  No pics of Marshall under a car taken by Gerock.

We had a fine time, and I, for one was overcome by garage envy (even though I just finished my garage last spring). Thanks, Marshall!

Here are few more pics.

Dudley was saying (and Brad agreed) that every time someone on the road compliments him on his car, he has a problem. In Charlottesville, a guy rolled down his window and gave me a thumbs up. Then, two miles from home, I hit a big vine hanging down over the road. Ruined the leading-edge trim on the hood and broke my license-plate surround. Arrrgh!
