rcollum Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Father's day at Fairfax Circle (Cameron's). We only had a total of about 12 cars there this morning, but it did include 3 NoVA Lotus members (though not all at once...) Greg Smoak brought his VW bug, and Bob Scates drove his Esprit. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 A small but enthusiastic group showed up on this beautiful day. Good variety - a Lamborghini, an Audi R8 Spyder, a Shelby Mustang, etc., etc... --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 I'd say that the Fairfax Circle C & C is 'back'. We had about 20 cars there today. I met Mark Franke there at 8:00AM. (Cameron's, the coffee/chocolate/bakery there, doesn't open until 8:00AM, so this is not an ultra-early event.) --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 It rained last night. Quite a lot. Good: At 70F, it was 9 degrees cooler this morning than yesterday morning for Katie's. Not as good: The roads were a bit damp, and it was humid. Still, the faithful came out. We had a pretty good turnout today - very diverse. You can't much complain about having a Lamborghini Murcielago, a painfully-original VW bus, a genuine '32 Ford roadster, a bagged vintage Caddy, and a Beck Spyder, all at the same place. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 A pretty good turnout at Cameron's this Sunday. Annie made it out with her beautiful Esprit. Quite a variety of cars there. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 A nice turnout this Sunday. Bob Scates brought his Esprit. A really nice resto-mod Camaro was there. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Three Lotus attended today's Fairfax Circle C & C - my Seven, Bob Scates' Esprit, and Annie's Esprit. (I did not get any pictures of Annie's car, because she arrived right after I left)... --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 A cool, crisp Sunday morning at Cameron's. This is a much smaller get-together than many, but the quality of people and cars is very good. Unfortunately, mine was the only Lotus there today. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 A pretty good & varied turnout today, including (again) two Lotus - Jim Hurd showed up with his Evora. A really nicely-restored MGA (with an MGB engine in it) showed up. --Bob Collum http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13229&stc=1http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13230&stc=1http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13231&stc=1http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13232&stc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 A cool morning at Fairfax Circle, with the quality and variety we're coming to expect. Greg Smoak drove his Elise, joining my Seven for another 2-Lotus Sunday at Fairfax Circle. The 1946 Plymouth is owned by the son of the woman who owned it back in the 70's. --Bob Collum P.S.: Please RSVP for GYLO, being held Sunday, 9/17/17: http://www.usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?11671-Gylo-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 The turnout was a bit short of the normal today, mostly because of a car show at NRA headquarters, about 3 miles away. Still, we had several regulars show up. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 The first day of October, and it was 44F when I left the house. No Lotus there (besides mine), but we had a guy show up with what he said was a McLaren MP12C. After an accident, he had it severely customized, with a McLaren P1 nose, and some other-model McLaren parts. Note the exhausts exiting from above the rear bumper. Nicely done! --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 I've been away for a couple of weeks, but it's good to get back to Fairfax Circle (Cameron's) this Sunday. It's not a huge gathering, but the people are great, and the cars are gorgeous! The black car that looks like a Ferrari 308 is actually a Fiero-based kit car, including real Campagnolo wheels. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I love that yellow Shelby GT350, probably because I bought its twin last week. What a great car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 A cold Sunday at Fairfax Circle - 29F, but overcast and no wind - not too bad for mid-November in Northern Virginia. A small but enthusiastic gathering, with a good variety of cars. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 A really mild Sunday morning, for late November - 40 degrees and clear. This is a fairly small get-together, but a really nice group of people, with a good variety of cars. A couple of families came by, with 5 kids. Several of us invited the kids to sit in our cars, which they appreciated. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 It was cold but calm weather this morning, so turnout at Fairfax Circle was light, but enthusiastic. It was me, Mike, Chuck, Howard, Laura, and Bob S. and Ed. I'm having battery problems with the Elise, and the Seven was blocked by two other cars, so I was Lotusless today. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 There were only two of us at Cameron's on Christmas Eve - at least, only two of us were there for the 30 minutes I was there, before leaving for Christmas with the family... Paul's '32 Ford looks great next to our Elise. --Bob Collum http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13712&stc=1http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13713&stc=1http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13711&stc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 The ice and snow on the roads kept most of us away from the last Katie's of the year, on Saturday, 12/30/17. A few of us couldn't tolerate an entire long weekend of no car stuff, so we went to Fairfax Corner on a frigid last day of 2017. Chuck drove his Porsche Macan, and Mike D. arrived in his Porsche Cayenne. I drove our Subaru Legacy. Hmmm.... Who is the pretender here? I am driving the only car of the three with a horizontally-opposed 6 cylinder. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamericano Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Bob, I noticed that all your meets include Mr. Paul's 32 Ford. My first car was a 32 or 33 roadster hot rod, with '51 Mercury V-8. Wish I had it back. It's nice to see a hot rod in with the sport-car crowd. Pretty much the same thing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
