Cars and coffee Great Falls VA meet up

don't worry about washing it. Mine is coming "as-is" so I'll probably be winning the ugliest marauder award anyways
 
I just got back in town from a business trip and will be loaded with lots of weekend projects around the house tomorrow.
Sorry guys....I'll try to make it on another Saturday.

I'm starting to doubt how clean I will be able to get the Marauder for tomorrow.

Today's rain is definitely messing with my plans to wash it after work tonight.

Same here. Hopefully all this rain will be done by the morning and we'll have sunny skies.

Guys, as wet as it is outside I doubt there will be any cars there. Let's shoot for next week.

Well, it wasn't a huge turnout, but it was pretty decent. I met up with Mark (N40GL) and Ryan (Mebot) at Pizza Rama and we went from there.

Here are a few pictures from it:
(Apologies for some of the jagged edges in the pictures. I uploaded the pictures directly to Photobucket from my phone, but they were full resolution but I thought 8MP would be too obnoxious, so I got lazy and use the Photobucket resize tool).

Mark's Kenny Brown Marauder S, Ryan's, and my SB in the back.

Ton's of Fiat 500s

This doesn't look like a standard Mini Cooper

I guess that B18 Integra engine gives it a good kick in the pants.

Morris Minor

Hemi Super Bee

That Super Bee was set up with Wilwoods all around.

There was also a Murcielago or two.



BTW, I probably won't make next weeks Kate's run because Bert's is the next day. I don't know if this will affect anyone else.
 
Also, here's a funny size comparison between one of the original Fiat 500s and an old Ford F100.

BTW, I wasn't surprised that Doom didn't come, it was misty and cloudy threatening to rain this morning. ;)

Who brought the kiddie pedal car??

I think DOOMie is down in Kentucky at the Louisville meet.

Boy do I feel dumb for thinking there wouldnt be anyone out. Damn!! Nice pics Matt! Im sure we'll have a chance to meet up again. Kicking myself for not going.
 
It was a pleasure to meet up with Matt (illwood) and Mark (N40GL) on Saturday. I took a couple pics from our pre-meetup and then a couple once we settled in and parked at Kates. There was a guy taking pictures who was excited to see owners of the same cars come in. Like Matt said, there was a whole bunch of Fiat 500s but if we can roll in 5 or 6 deep Marauders, that'd be awesome.

He said he posts the pictures on a couple different forums. I'll have to do some research and see if I can find them.

Anyways here are my pics

I don't know why that last picture looks all fuzzy.

Here are the pictures from when we rolled into the parking lot at Kates:

That Super Bee pulled in just after I left! It sounded great! I wish that guy had come earlier!
 
There was a black MM running circles around Great Falls all morning, but you never pulled into the parking lot. If that was you, come join us next time!
 
I just got it now myself! You know when I was looking to get personalized plates for my MM i was toying around with the elemental Mercury symbol, but figured no one would get it and it would be too much of a hassle to explain.

Kudos
 
Not this Saturday. I'm attending a Virginia Tech In Remembrance memorium in the morning and then my cousin's wedding in the afternoon. I'm going to be busy all day Saturday, but I'm really hoping to make it to the Bert's Ice cream run the next day, Sunday.

Keep this thread alive, as I would like to take part in some more meet ups at Kate's as the weather gets warmer!
 
I'm planning to head down this sat (weather pending). Looks like a great meetup. Hope to see some other MMs there.
