I never made it up there last year, but it's on my list this year!! Have you been out to Fulton yet this year? Do you know if that Saturday Morning C&C is still going on? I left it off my list because I haven't seen anyone mention it. I don't know if it ever got popular enough to continue...

You are welcome!!

Pops Racer

Great idea....great job......Thanks!!!!!

68ragtop69

Thanks! I added them to the list in the first post!!

bigterpsfan

Thanks for putting this together! Maybe I missed it, but I don't think I saw the maple lawn Saturday morning meet up there.

68ragtop69

No, you didn't miss it. I was wondering if it was still going on; I haven't been out that way yet this year.

Have you been going to that C&C on a regular basis? I last went to it back in September of last year. I was just getting ready PM airbrush1 because I know he goes there a lot. Has it grown any?

EVIL_C5

these would be good if you could drag ur **** from the bed on the weekend mornings....lol

vette getting alignment done today, planning on hitting burtonsville one sunday soon, or even marley on saturday night when they start.

bigterpsfan

I was there 2 weeks ago and the turn out was about 30 cars. I believe a bunch came over once katie's finished up.

airbrush1

I go to Maple lawn every Saturday I can... Its still going on for sure, and a hardcore group of us kept coming out all winter as well, we just move the meet indoors to the coffee shop when the weather isn't so favorable.

I'm a bit worried that with the new hunt valley cars and coffee, maple lawn will break up a bit, I know a bunch of us are planning on attending hunt valley this coming saturday. I really wish that the meet times were staggered a bit so people could attend both, but the hunt valley meet will directly compete with maple lawn c+c... There might have to be a discussion about moving maple lawn to later in the day if Hunt valley takes too much attendance away.

I for one am torn, Hunt valley makes more sense for me to attend, it's closer, and I don't have to pay the tunnel toll to get there... but I love the guys at Maple lawn, and I'd hate to see that group break up and split between Katies and Hunt Valley rather than attend maple lawn.

We shall see... I'll be at something every saturday morning though!

airbrush1

In addition, I'd like to invite you guys to an open house a friends shop is having this saturday! It's mostly an import focused shop, but they do maintenance and installs on just about anything, and they're very good at what they do

here's a link to the facebook event page
http://www.facebook.com/events/399840070030711/

the shop is located at
2315 Bel Air Road, Suite C1
Fallston, MD 2104

and the open house/meet is from 11am-4pm... A bunch of us will be cruising over after hunt valley's inaugural c+c

68ragtop69

Thanks for the update! I stopped by a few times last year but I guess I always would pick slow days. It's a perfect C&C for when I decide to sleep in and skip Katie's!!

Zelicious

Has anyone been to the Centre at Glen Burnie recently for the Friday night cruise-in? Just wondering what the turn out is like. Haven't gone up there in a while.

jb_va2001

Agreed, the Saturday morning C&C at Katie's is worth crossing the Potomac. Huge turn out, great cars, and if you use Rt 193 the scenery in Great Falls is nice as well.

Zelicious

Hey Wayne! Nice hearing from you. Things are well. Looking forward to getting out and about with the car again.
