I finally made it out to Katies on a Saturday morning again! And of course the weather was terrible. Temperature was alright, but soggy, soggy, soggy. I debated not going, debated turning around when I was halfway there, debated turning around when I saw a bright green Uracco leaving the general direction of Katie's parking lot, but pushed on nonetheless. Glad I did, because 'Murica.

Also, in case you were wondering, yes, the carpet does match the drapes.

The turnout was mostly Mustangs, but the classic Rolls Royce/Bentley club also made an appearance, with six or seven Corniches/Silver Shadows lining up next to each other.

Further highlights were a gorgeous BMW E9, an amazing looking air cooled 911 Turbo, a nicely patina'd/neglected Pontia Firebird, a Corvair, R8 V10, Lotus Elise (with speed holes!), and a Merc 300 TD wagon!

And now for the pic dump:

Best turbo badge evar.

There was actually a full backseat on the back seat in this M3 (Whatup Xzibit).

Bunch of asshats...

... So I had to follow suit.

E9! E9! E9!

Speed holes.

Disclaimer: Sorry for the picture quality. It was definitely potato weather.

WOW, thanks Porsche owner. I don't know if I could have lived not having my suspicions that your car was indeed a 911 confirmed by that graphic on the windshield. The parking job should have been all the confirmation I needed but it wasn't. I salute the dedication it takes to buy one of the cheapest 911s and park it like it's a 918 Spyder.

Hey, you can at least say you've got a 911, then mumble incomprehensively if they ask if you've got a turbo.

I passed up a chance at a beautiful blue '97 Bentley Turbo R with 40K miles for just $25K about two years ago. I still don't think I'm ready to bite the Bentley bullet.

Maintenance might hit the $25K mark too, I'm sure!

It sprinkled a bit, but it wasn't too bad when I was there. It was raining near my house, but it was much better in Great Falls.

You made me look into Corvairs.

This is tempting. 1966 Corvair Monza7300.

I'm late to the party, but thanks for the picture of my car! (it's in the background of the 335i pic.)

I think I'll frame it...
