Cars and Coffee events in the DMV

My guess; to allow the other shops in the shopping center to have parking spaces when they open.

 

There is Church of the Holy Donut on Sunday around 9am in Burtonsville. Also Hunt Valley Horsepower at the Hunt Valley Mall Saturdays. I think that one is around 830 but don't quote me on that.

 

There is one in Fairfax on Sunday mornings later. Search for Kohls Cars and Coffee.

There is also one in season with a small group of us in Gaithersburg/Darnestown on mid-day Sundays. Search Potimac Cafe Racers for more info.

Lamborghini of Washington is having a monthly cars and coffee now too. I went to the first one, missed the second, and there is a third on January 17 I believe. After Katies.

There are occasionally other gatherings in the evening when the weather is nice at Brustwra ice cream in Gaithersburg put on by Moco Meets. They have a Facebook page.

Lots of other meets around. I find lots on Facebook.

 

Katies and Kohls are the main ones IMO. Kohls prob. more the same people / cars over and over... although some serious car guys at Kohls like Bob W. with his pretty much totally hand built Jag Lister replica and his 911 RSR clones... he has a Moby Dick clone (actually I think the body work is real) I think its a 935?? in the works too, or at least he did ways back.

Katies has always been that early and yes originated from not wanting to impinge on other stores' business hours.

But I think over time its gotten even more ridiculous and kind of bragging rights "how early did you get to Katies?". By 9 its pretty much over. Some people literally will go park there the night before and get a ride back just for prime spot. Or sleep in their car there has been known to happen. A lot of the big collector people I know soured on Katies over past few years just because gotten so out of hand, the kids taking videos and pictures and putting all over the internet (DC / defense contractors / security clearances / lobbyists /people with really expensive toys that maybe might want to kinda be low key for whatever reason), mass crowds and people touching all over the cars etc. But its still the big C&C in the DMV no doubt and every week there is something different you've never seen before, old & new.

Others = Hunt Valley which is North of Balt. They have a couple big mega meets a yr. but meet weekly too. That is where a very prolific - not to be named - Balt area esp. Ferrari collector brings his cars sometimes. I mean if you just want to see an Aventador or two they'll be there. Not so much old or really cool custom stuff as Katies but there can be substantial gatherings of American muscle of all vintages there from time to time.

Another nice and very social but small one is at Annapolis harbor. I think its Sun 10ish right at the waterfront. Usually same 20-30 people but really nice people and nice cars and often do a lunch somewhere or something afterwards.

Holy Donut the other main one I know of but don't have much experience with it.

 

Holy Donut tends to be mostly American. Mostly Muscle Cars and hot rods. Some European cars show up, but not many.

 

Annapolis City Dock, every Sunday 9am until noon. Exotics usually show up at 9:30am. See thread posting on FLife.

The LOW C&C is at the dealer, located in Sterling/Ashburn.

I have not been to the Annapolis meet yet but it seems to be a nice mix of modern and classic, and a fairly low key group.

I have never had a problem with kids at Katie's. They are there (including mine almost always) but they are almost universally monitored and respectful in my experience. I don't sweat leaving my car unattended one bit.

 

Where is the event at wootton pkwy and falls?

Luke - It's in the parking lot of the church there, right next to 270. Don't think it is very big but I have not gone. They sometimes have a sign out saying when it is, which I think is like once a month. My take was that it was some sort of membership recruiting vehicle...

 

Sunday's around 9 at the leesburg Wegmans has a nice turnout when the weather cooperates. Ferraris, lamborghinis, Porsches, muscle, etc. good crowd and easy to get in and out of.

FoW has one coming up next Saturday.

 

10-4

Thanks

 

Yes, FoW is our short hand for Ferrari of Washington. LoW is Lamborghini of Washington. Their dealership is located at: 45235 Towlern Place, Sterling, VA 20166

This is a fairly new event. They hope to have one once a month. January's event is this Saturday 1/17. Check out their facebook page for photos from past events: https://www.facebook.com/LamborghiniofWashington?ref=tn_tnmn

We have a C&C at Wegmans in Leesburg on Sundays starting around 8:30 or 9 but it's very lightly attended over the winter, 8-10 of us. In good weather we get more like 30 and growing.

 

Sure. You can do that. Keep in mind however that it is Lamborghini of Washington who is hosting these monthly events not Ferrari of Washington. I would go this Saturday if you can.

If you don't feel like calling, you can always check out Lamborghini of Washington's facebook page.

Annapolis City Dock Sunday's 9am
