It's March, and I say it's time for better weather. It seems like we've had rain practically every weekend since the middle of last summer. Who do we contact to fix this?
Cold and misty today, but (as often on bad-weather Saturdays), German cars came out in numbers. Lots of BMWs, including a new BMW 8 Series.

We had snow last night, but the streets were dry when I left home, and the temperature as above freezing - 34F, in fact. This is what passes for good weather here, lately.
It seems like, when it's cold & wet & snowy, almost all the cars that show up to Katie's are German. We did have a couple of F-Types there today, though...

I grabbed a quick shot of the XK, as he drove thru - that was the only Jaguar I saw. I don't know what possessed the guy in the Z4 to do the "mods' done to it.
That last car is an oddity - a Lotus Omega. In the spirit of the Lotus Cortina, Lotus transformed a fairly ordinary sedan - the Open Omega.
When it came out in 1990, one of the fastest 4-door cars in the world. Twin-turbo inline-6, 377hp, ~180mph. A great 'sleeper'!

It rained through the night last night, but stopped 20 minutes before I left home to go to Katie's. As a result, Cars & Coffee got a late start, and was limited to not much more than a full front lot. Only one Jaguar there today - Bobert's F-Type. Still, there were some nice vehicles there!

A beautiful sunrise at Katie's, this morning.
At Katie's today, a guy we know - ZR-1 driver Phil, collapsed inside Katie's. The Great Falls Emergency Squad (luckily, right across the street) came right over. Seems like a heart incident. He was conscious and coherent when he left - a good sign - and they took him to a local hospital. Two good things accompanied this frightening event -
1.) Fellow Corvette guys talked to Phil before he left, and volunteered to get his car home and safe. I know that took one of his worries away.
2.) I was VERY happy to see that no one was parked along the sides of the entrance road to Katie's from Georgetown Pike. People had been parking their cars on both sides of this road in recent weeks, and it makes it difficult to get traffic in & out. Thankfully, the ambulance and fire truck had a clear shot in to pick up Phil, and get him to the hospital.
