Planning to head down to Katie’s for the first time tomorrow. Anyone here planning on going?

Can't go since I live too far away, but that is a sick pic of a sick automobile!

Love that you have the "Exige" plate too. I have the AZ edition. I still have the sticker that says 'Exige' just above it just to make sure people know. They still don't...

Katie's is my go-to cars and coffee. It won't disappoint you. Get there before 7:15am if you want a decent parking spot. I can't make tomorrow though. Have fun!

Wow you were definitely right about that, I showed up at 6:15 and it was already packed!

When I went a couple of years ago Bob told me there were two times to go early or later. Mom was 15 minutes away so left to go to the early session. I was within sight when the road was completely blocked by cars that has crashed on either side of the road. By the time I got there after rerouting up 7 I barely made the late group. Was an interesting C&C

Looks great - hope you had a good time. I was out of town, but friends sent me a pic of a Seven I didn't recognize. Hope you come back soon! Seven owner, are you on here?

Yes that 7 was nice looking! Unfortunately I couldn’t locate the owner.

Katie's cars and coffee is consistently a good time and worthwhile for the DMV area. The only other cars and coffee that compares was the Hunt Valley C&C, even tho that is north of baltimore. I'm patiently waiting for that to come back....

I live 10 minutes from Katies and try to make it every week, it is consistently a great display as its located in the heart of super rich Great Falls in the richest county in the country. I missed it this weekend as I was on track at Gridlife NJMP.
Bob is a regular and a great ambassador for us as he takes pics and recruits the uninitiated to join the Nova Lotus club. I will try to make it out there this weekend, please do let me know if you end up going again.
Bob keeps a record of the Lotuses that show up here: Katie's Cars & Coffee | NoVA Lotus Club
He gets a shot of me each time I come through

We passed you on the foggy mountain road, as we left LOG today. I know you have extreme tires - hope you are OK.

Awesome we saw you as well! We almost made it home without any issues, 2 minutes before I pulled into my driveway we had a deer jet out in front of me on the road. Thankfully I was able to slow down in time, but a good scare nonetheless.

Well, At least Joseph & I brought Lotus to Katie's this morning!

Ironic isn't it. I was dreading a deer incident the whole time while otherwise enjoying those fantastic Lotus-friendly twisting WV mountain roads at LOG41. Didn't happen. Until almost 6hrs later and near home, no contact but closer than comfortable. I think those creatures were put on earth to make us drivers nervous.

One of these days I'll make it out to Katie's...that's only a 3hr +/- drive. 😉

We had 4 different Lotus models at Katie's this morning - my Seven, an Exige, an Elise, and Jedifar's Evora 400!
