Fair Lakes, 08/31/14
A great turnout, as you would expect on a good-weather holiday weekend. Bob Andretta and I brought out our XKs.
That's XKE-owner Cheryl Fitzgerald in the '57 Chevy she just bought.
A lot of police activity on the lot, but it was off to the side, and involved somebody that was parked on the Kohl's lot long before anybody got there for C & C. Whatever it was, it involved several police vehicles, the guy was cuffed, his car was flat-bedded, and his dog was taken away. We're hoping that a visible police presence can discourage the couple of people who can't seem to resist infantile demonstrations of speed. (The rest of us enjoy meeting here every week, and don't appreciate the kind of attention that behavior garners.) If we all act more-or-less like adults, we can continue to enjoy this venue.

The Lotus guys used the Fair Lakes event as a starting point for a drive out to Purcellville on Sunday. A few of us got to the lot early, to grab breakfast and talk to friends before moving over to the Dick's Sporting Goods lot, to stage for our drive. Here are a few pictures I took before we left.
The last 4 pictures are at the winery in Purcellville,Va.

Great weather - clear, and just a bit cool, meant a big turnout was a certainty. Bobert and I brought our XKs out - his XKR convertible, my XK Coupe.
The Bugatti replica, based on a VW bug frame and drivetrain, was interesting. Everyone was intrigued by the Superlite. I had not seen a Cosworth Vega in, probably, 10 years. Then, two cars in two weeks at Fair Lakes!

Few people lust after Vegas and nowadays they're as rare a sight as, well, Pintos. Wouldn't surprise me if a majority of the ones still on the road are Cosworths at this point! At any rate, while it's not my personal taste, I tip my hat to any man maintaining any relatively forgotten car.
