Cars & Coffee in Great Falls, VA -- April 13, 2013

A second beautiful Saturday in a row brought me back to the Cars & Coffee in Great Falls, Virginia. The early morning of April 13 was milder, and the turnout was huge. Several hundred cars and people showed up, filling up all available parking spaces in the area between 7 and 9 a.m. It appeared that other people came and left right away after not finding convenient places to park, including a number who brought some remarkable automobiles, such as a new, silver Aston Martin V12 Vantage. In any case, many other attendees managed to find parking spots. A few of their cars are featured in this gallery, most of which I photographed after the crowds had thinned out.

The biggest attraction was clearly a red and black Bugatti Veyron that a Volkswagen executive brought along. News of the Veyron's coming had been posted several days earlier on the Facebook page of Katie's Coffee House. That prior notice, no doubt, prompted the massive turnout. The day's other big draws, though unannounced, were a 2013 McLaren MP4-12C Spider, a 2013 three-wheeled Morgan and a 1910 Stanley Steamer.

Every fair-weather Saturday, hundreds of car ethusiasts in Virginia, D.C., Maryland and neighboring states wake up early to bring their toys to this 7-to-9 a.m. gathering about half an hour west of Washington, D.C. Usually, many attendees come and go, with some staying only for a short while. Many show up sporadically, some with a different car each time, so most cars tend to be different from one Saturday to the next, practically making every visit worthwhile.

For those interested in joining the fun, here's the venue's address: Katie's Coffee House, 760 Walker Rd., Great Falls, VA 22066. They serve very good coffee and breakfast items.

I shot all the Cars & Coffee photos in this gallery with a handheld Nikon P7100. All have been resized for online viewing. Note that the images and other content here are protected by copyright laws. All rights are reserved. Unauthorized use, copying, printing or direct linking is prohibited.
