    Three very different BMWs today...

    A few comfortable British family cars...

    A less comfortable British non-family car...

    A British non-car...

    And some irrational stylistic exuberance from Fiat -- can't remember what this 1500-based model is called,

    (Edit: Fiat Ghia. Duh!)

    but this may be the nicest example of one in existence...

    And a fair number of other cars that are repeats of previous months.

    Thanks for the pictures, I've followed your postings on the Whidbey gathering. I need to make it up there for it sometime this summer. Since I've got family in the San Juans I could kill two birds with one stone with a (very expensive) ferry ride while I'm up there. The San Juans in the summer is one of my favorite places to be, absolutely beautiful.

    Everyone is welcome, and I encourage anyone with an interest to come out. Just realize that this is a very small scale event, with probably not more than 15 cars on any one Saturday. Don't expect Irvine...

    I think you probably had more cars at Whidbey than Irvine last Saturday. It rained in Southern California!!!

    I went to Irvine last summer. It was fun except for the part where I was late because I had to get a rental car in the morning and had to leave early to get parts. If you're going to do a really crummy head gasket job in a hotel parking lot over the weekend, SoCal weather is hard to beat. Boy, that was a really, really long weekend to go check out a car cruise for an hour or so!

    If we come up from Portland, we'll probably come on the bike...although, it might be fun to bring the 122S (wagon) so we can bring the dog along.

    Gary, rain is no deterrent around here. We've had one meet when it was snowing, and about then half of us headed over the back roads to be in the Langley Christmas parade. The guy with the TVR Tuscan was a little white-knuckled by the time he got there, but no casualties.

    Bryce, bring the wagon (and the dog). We haven't had one show up yet, and I'm sure people would like to see one.
