I'll be there tomorrow - picked up my dash number this morning. Last year's event was a record breaker - and supposedly there's more registration this year.

Pictures from last year:

Round Rock is 20 miles north of Austin. If you're driving on I-35, the venue is off exit 252B heading North, 253A heading South - on the east side of the interstate off Highway 79. It's on a city park called Old Settlers. The park has a good sized minor league ballpark called Dell Diamond. If you're on 79 heading East, you won't miss it.

Also keep in mind:
Leander Cars and Coffee September is tomorrow as well @ Old town Leander - 25 miles north of Austin off US183.
Austin Tri-Marque German Concourse and Car Show @ NTB-Mopac - it's for German brands I know .... but still
Georgetown Airfest is today and tomorrow @ Georgetown Municipal Airport

Well, I almost made it. I'm delivering a BMW I purchased for a client in Florida. Unfortunately, I had to end the day in Ozona, about 200 miles outside of SA. By the time I'm going through, it'll be tomorrow....next time...maybe. Hope the show was good.

Default The show was good and mine took first place!

Steve - sorry to hear that you could not make it.

The show was good - even better now that my car took first place in its category. Have lots of pictures - will post as soon as time permits. I also get to see one of my favorite - the Morgan Aero 8, that's one fun-looking car!

Default British car show - sample pictures and YouTube link

Sample pictures. I broke my D-SLR while hiking @ Glacier National Park in Montana and have not purchased a new one. Instead, I bought a sub-$100 Sanyo pocket point-and-shoot from Walmart - it's got 14 mega pixels though so should make up the quality a bit.

The Leaper shot is my favorite.

Here's the YouTube link - took it w/ the same point-and-shoot camera:

I apologize for any mis-pronounciation. English is not my native tongue.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the pics, the leaper is my fave too

14 MP just for $100 ? I should be crazy spending that much for a 10.2 MP Sony SLR lol
