cars and coffee in Great Falls, VA
Mike told me about a cool car event on Saturday mornings, so we drove up there yesterday in my Z (he's taken his a few times already).
Snapped some pictures, thought they might be of interest: http://s431.photobucket.com/albums/q...fee%206-19-10/

Re: cars and coffee in Great Falls, VA
I did not know about this gathering, but based on the pics it is at the Great Falls Village Center off of RT193 (Old Georgetown Pike) at Walker Road... the one pic that shows the Ferrari 512 in front of the Old Brogue Irish Pub...'X' marks the spot>>
Now that I know about it I will be going...The Old Brogue is an old watering hole for me...

Re: cars and coffee in Great Falls, VA
It's off Georgetown Pike, not sure the exact address but it sounds like Michael recognizes it. We got there around 7am and it was fairly empty, but it filled up fast. Also, you get to see the cars driving if you get there before them.
The SLS is hideous.

Re: cars and coffee in Great Falls, VA
Well just found this from my own Northern Virginia Corvette Club site>>
The official start of Katie's Cars & Coffee will be the first Saturday in April. It will run through the last Saturday in October. Invited are all classic car buffs in the greater metropolitan area. Scheduled time is from 7:00 am to 9:00 am, weather permitting, every Saturday in front of Katie's, which is located at 760 Walker Road, Great Falls, VA. (If you are not familiar with Great Falls, Katie's is located behind BB&T Bank and the post office off Georgetown Pike, next to The Old Brogue Restaurant.) Katie's Coffee Shop will reserve all the parking spaces directly across from their entrance, for use by Cars & Coffee participants. There will be signage identifying the reserved spaces. For those new participants, the concept behind the gathering is threefold: first, it's a pleasant destination on a Saturday morning; second, it's a chance to spend time with other car guys and gals while still being able to get home in time for weekend activities; and third, to have a good cup of coffee and view some really cool cars. Stay as long as you want and, if you care to head down the road with others for a longer morning drive, that's great too. The more the merrier, so feel free to share this information with friends and members of area car clubs who might also like to participate. Everything from antique trucks to rare Ferraris are welcome. Local Triumph, Jaguar, Corvette, Austin Healey, and Ferrari clubs, for instance, might be interested in learning about the event. If you have a contact at any of these clubs, please pass the information to me so that I can add them to our database. Try and join us as many Saturdays as possible to make this a weekly event in Great Falls. Some of us will be there beginning this weekend, since the weather promises to be terrific, so feel free to stop by.
