Please keep posting this event! I was there today and words don't describe the cars that were at this event. Someone told me the next meet is in 2 weeks on a Sunday?

I listed every upcoming date for this in post #19. Look back at that for the next ones.
Awsome day today, and the turnout was so big that they ran out of spaces for folks to park. The funniest part was that the guy with the Ferrari 250 GT that always shows up had to park his car which is worth anywhere from 1.5 million to almost 3 million, depending on who you talk to there, had to park it next to the dumpster all the way in the back of the lot.
I was talking to the guy that organized this event and he thought that was pretty funny.Apparently they have been meeting there for 3 years, but it has really caught on this year.

Planning to be there on the 23rd. I'm going to take the '65 beetle. Brought my red '99 C5 last time. A few weeks ago there was a Stanley Steamer and a 1917 Detroit electric totally battery powered. Amazing what shows up at this thing.

Diddyio, nice photos. Very sharp, clear, and great color. They capture the special nature of some of these cars. Nice to meet you too Vinny.

Wow, that was a fast posting. Great shots. If I may, I'd make one suggestion. If you capture that #14 Daytona coupe again, get it from the back. The radical chopped rear (I think they call it a Kamm back) is a distinguishing feature of the car not seen on too many others. It was nice meeting other forum members Ralph and Diddyio in the flesh. Some meets last year, mine was the only Vette. No longer. I think there were more Vettes than any other make, except for Ferrari and Porsche.

Are you kidding me? I got there around 9:30, and was there until about 11. Had my tan Ford Explorer.
I'm still working on finding my next Vette, but I feel like I'm getting closer to finding it. I can't believe I didn't see you Fred. You should have let me know you were gonna be there.

Ralph,
I arrived a little after 9 and left around 11:30. When I got off SR 24 there were 4 cars I was following and I knew they were headed for the meet. Didn't have to use my GPS at all.
I stayed late to watch all the exotic cars pull away. I noted one set of three matching Italian numbers with the same vanity plate. Who gets to drive the other two?
I had two favorite cars...... the E Type which is pictured and the 1949 Triumph dual cowl with rumble seat, which is not. Imagine a Triumph with three in the tree shifting.
