    Thanks for the pictures, Helios... (We are told that the plural of Lotus is 'Lotus'.)
    Really good group of cars there today. Most fun was the Chevy Volt that came late, driven by a VW of America employee. VW bought it for research.

    Thanks for posting great pics!

    I'd love to see some of these cars head out to Annapolis City Dock on Sunday mornings, 8am-10am.

    Rte 50 East has barely any traffic that time of day. :)

    Hmm... Having trouble uploading photos. I'm used to the [pic]_________[/pic] method of posting photos and did an entire post like that, only to preview it and see it doesn't work. I then tried the "manage attachments" thing on the bottom, but my pics are far too large and I'm too tired to put them all through Paint Shop Pro to reduce the size.

    Ah well, here's my Flickr set with my pics from Katie's on the 18th and 25th of March. Feel free to look at my other sets; I have another Katie's set from last year on there, but my Flickr page doesn't reflect even a 1/100 of the photos I've taken at various car shows since around 2000. I'm just too lazy to upload all my photos ;)

    Sometime I'll have to "properly" post my Katie's pics, but until then, enjoy!

    Anyone going to katie's this morning? It's fairly chilly, but it's not raining. I'm planning on being there, but not 'til after 7. Hoping to finally meet some of my fellow FerrariChat members. :)

    Report from Katie's, April 9

    It was dry, but I think the threat of rain scared off a lot of people. It was chilly, but the FIAT crowd were out in full-force. Both old and new 500s, plus a pair of Bertone designed beauties, the X1/9s. That gorgeous F40 was there, and the Lamborghini crew were represented by a white Diablo and a Gallardo Superleggera. There was a BMW M6 next to a Viper for you V10 fans out there. The Brits were represented by a few original Minis (including one with a Honda Vtec motor) and later on, a Morris Minor Traveller woodie.
    Of course the Subaru Impreza guys were there, as were the usual myriad of e46 M3s.

    Overall, not a bad turnout for a cold, damp morning.

    I was there wearing a black coat, black pants, and a grey fedora, with my Canon SX20is "looks like a DSLR, but more of a glorified point-and-shoot". I'll see if I can figure out the photo upload thing later and post a few pics.

    The cinquecentos may have to double up in the spaces come the summer when it gets packed :)
    Between the uncooperative weather and my trips I have not been able to make it to C & C in weeks. Hope to be there in mid May when my 78 450 SEL restoration is mostly done. Bill P00 keep posting please!!!!

    The rain has certainly been disappointing! The past two weekends were washouts - err, rainouts...

    Where is spring???

    Mike,

    Tom brought the Essex out to the Fairlakes Cars and Coffee a couple of weeks ago which is held on Sundays from 8 AM - 10 AM. He's a really great guy!!

    I sure enjoyed getting in my first C&C since my surgery. I still have no idea how early you have to get there to get a space up front. Crazy. Absolutely backed by 7:15.

    Yeah, I've heard that it's packed by ~6:30!
    Truly my favorite weekly event; you never know what you might see!

    I love that pre-war Bentley that's been there the past few weeks.
    My highlights from last Saturday (July 30th) were definitely the 1914 Pierce Arrow driven from New Jersey (!) and the vintage Triumph motorcycle (not sure what year but I'm guessing late '40s-early '50s).

    There was a nice white 599, too, anybody know if it's owned by an FChat member?

    Someday I have to put some of my photos through Paint Shop Pro to get them small enough to post. I'd post a Flickr link, but I've already reached my free account limit on Flickr. :(

    I've never had a problem finding a spot up front between 8:30 and 8:45. ;)

    Try Pixresizer. It's a great little piece of freeware for resizing pictures in bulk or one at a time. You can download it here:
