No registration is required. We are cleaning off the lot. This is our first cars and coffee and honestly I had no idea how many people to prepare for. Hoping for a great weather and a great turn out. I have been asked by a few people to "reserve" spots for them. Unfortunately I cant do that, i have a few very high dollar cars coming and those are the only ones that i can save spots for. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

356 wet the bed a bit (leak at the fuel line) so I'll have to test out tightening the clamps closer to home on short trips instead of beltway flame-throwing 356 option

Thank you to the dorkis that came and said hello. Quite a successful event, we raised $1890 for the Homeward Trails Animal Rescue. Our count was about 120 cars and from the food folks it looked like we served almost 200.

Lost the brakes on the way home in the 914, crazy scary but got it to a stop and had it towed to ASG for diagnosis/fix.

My Porsche rep called me and said "is that your broken 914 on the side of the beltway"... He collected me and AAA scooped it up!

Thanks, Casey! I had a great time, and it was nice to see a lot of people I hadn't seen in a while, and put a few new faces with familiar names. I'm glad we were able to raise a few bucks for a great cause. As always, we'll show up for any event we can make!

It always amazes me that people take an interest in my cars in a sea of cool/interesting cars.
