    Always a different turnout. Today we had the pleasure of seeing a prestine example of a Maserati 3500 GT and Beautiful Lamborghini Espada Series III. If you still haven't come out to this event, you should make a point to do so a least once! We've had people come from the Baltimore Area. Well worth the trip.

    Enjoy the pics!

    Nice photos!

    Pardon my lack of Ferrari knowledge, but what is that beautiful classic black convertible parked next to the Espada?

    5/7/2010 - Even with the weather threating not to cooperate today, there was a decent turn out of cars today.

    - 1976 Lancia Scorpion
    - Kaiser Darin made another appearance - (love those sliding doors).
    - A Beautiful Red Porsche 1600
    - For a mintue there I thought "Toggie" was making an appearence, but it looks like we have another TDF Blue 550 out there!!
    - "Bobert" decided to let his Ferrari sleep in today, so he showed up with one of his other toys a Shelby GT.
    - Richard P. brought his Scuderia and "Ferraritime" brought his 430 out to play.
    - There was also a REALLY bright Orange Lotus Esprit.

    Unfortunately, the rain did not hold out and it started to rain about 8:30 AM. But we still had a good showing!!

    Enjoy the pics!

    Great Photos! This was my first one. Had a great time chatting with everyone. I plan to bring out something different each week. Good seeing everyone from last weekend at Ferrari on the Vine and making new friends.

    Another great turnout on Saturday! Some really nice cars, I'm just sorry I didn't get a chance to see/photograph them all. I was REALLY glad that I (finally) had a chance to meet Ferrari owner Mike S. I look forward to seeing you again at a future event!

    Here are the cars photographed below:

    1. 1951(?) Pontiac Eight - From what I heard this was a barn find and the owner is in the process of restoring the car.
    2. Maserati Bora
    3. 1950's Oldsmobile 88 - Owned by one our FCA-MAR members. What a beautiful automobile!
    4. BobO's Ferrari 550
    5. Mercedes AMG SLS
    6. Iso Grifo
    7. Lotus Elise/Exige
    8. MikeS.'s Ferrari 550
    9. Classic Corvette (can you spot the local celebrity)?
    10. Beautiful color combo Porsche GT3 RS
    11. Boss 302 Mustang
    12. Porsche 911
    13. Porsche Spyder
    14. Ferrari 512
    15. Studebaker Avanti - I know these weren't liked very much, but it was great to see one in the flesh!!
    16. Another local celebrity!

    Enjoy,

    The local Aston Martin dealership brought out the Rapide. This was my first time seeing this car in the flesh. The rear seats are REALLY interesting with regards to position and the amount of space for the rear passengers.

    For me, the highlight of the show was seeing this BEAUTIFUL 1981 Lotus Essex Turbo Esprit!! It was like seeing the Holy Grail drive right by!!! Next to Ferrari, Lotus Esprit's are my favorite cars and I've always loved the Giugiaro style over the Stevens styled Esprits. Of course, I've seen "G" styled Esprits before, but when I saw this car photographed a couple of years ago at a local Lotus event, I always hoped I would have the opportunity to see this car in person.

    According to the owner there are only 3 of these cars in the U.S. and two of them are in parts. This is the ONLY running Essex in the U.S. England has six of these cars still on the road.

    I envy my Son for getting the opportunity to SIT in this car!!

    I saw Redding in one of the pics!!!! How is he??? Thats like a "Bigfoot" sighting!! LOL!

    Man, I miss him, one of the classiest guys in the MAR/FCA! Favorite part of the visits out to FOW was talking F1 with Redding.

    I didn't get an opportunity to speak to Redding on Saturday. I briefly said "Hi". He was always surrounded by other guys (I guess wondering how he's doing). Last time I saw him, he said he was traveling a lot (SoCal, Europe(?))

    I guess he's doing alright. Redding was the best!! Everytime I would stop by FoW no matter how busy he was or who he was with, he would ALWAYS stop what he was doing and say "hi" to me.

    Great Guy!! :)

    Nice to finally chat with you, too, Bill. And as always, great pics, and much appreciation for posting them. Even more of a pleasure to meet your son. Too bad in this digital age we no longer have real phone books readily at hand. He could have used a couple to sit on and be able to see out the windshield of the 550 ! Also, was great to see Ed-Weird-O and his little friend Luigi.

    G4,

    I'm sorry I missed you. When I saw you (holding your Son) looking at the car, I thought that would be a great shot. I'm glad you liked it. I wish I would've know that was you, it would've been great to meet you in person. Perhaps the next time you plan on going out to C&C, shoot me a PM and we can plan to meet up somewhere?

    Yeah, I was surprised that the SLS engine was so far back! It's a great looking car don't you think?

    Mike, I had a great time talking to you!! Thanks again for letting my Son sit in your car. He gets a kick knowing that he's sat in more Ferrari's than his Dad. I look forward to seeing you at a future C&C or FCA event.

    Bill

    Bill,
    Great pictures!!!! Seems that more and more cool cars are coming out.
    Now that I don't live 'around the corner' any more, it will take special effort to come out from Front Royal for this. I will make the trip sometime this summer.

    By the way, my Arena Red 993 won first place in the Performance Touring class at this years Porsche Parade 2010 held at Pheasent Run Resort, Saint Charles, IL. I never would have thought...

    George,

    Congratulations on the win! It's an awesome car and after (you) being apart from it for so long, it's nice to see you win something for it.

    Yes, C&C is REALLY growing. At the begining of the Summer it just filled about half of the parking lot in front of Katie's. Now it's reaching around the block towards the flea market. A lot of car clubs are getting the word on this. As it's been mentioned before, every week there's a different bunch of cars. One week there's a majority of Cobras, the other week, Corvette's, another week Mustangs, but mixed in there is a bunch of other vintage, classic and exotic cars!

    Please PM me if/when you think you might make it out so I can plan on being there too!
