    This Saturday is the Rockville Car Show. I went for the first time last year and there was a terrific mix of cars and bikes.

    This is always a terrific show.

    Once again, we will likely do a drive after.

    I was there around 11.30 and they asked me to loop around to find a parking, after two loops they asked me to go over the curb and park the Scud on the lawn area. I try to explain that would be impossible car is too low to clear the curb and the bump to reach top of the lawn... They asked me to do another loop... I quit. Gone home. Sad because I know it's a great show, but there was only a bunch of kids in charge. Fail this year, at least for me.

    Me (in chair) and son and my Lancia in first pic. Beautiful day for a carshow.

    It was nutty for parking. I moved a golfcart one of the volunteers parked and abandonded in the worst spot to allow towrigs out of that parking area and later moved a huge City cube truck that was blocking a whole sting of towrigs and probably requires a CDL I don't have and hid it behind a maintenance building out of the way. Police are probably still looking for it.

    That was one of the best times I've had a local car event in years...amazing turnout and perfect weather.

    Wow!

    Zx, too bad we didn't get your car on the lawn. Did you pre-register?

    Shindle and Devilsolsi...we had a tailgate party from the back of the Laforza Magnum.

    I didn't think to post here beforehand but it would've been nice to meet you guys.

    We will plan better for next year.

    Sorry I missed this one. Looks like it would have been a lot of fun. I was busy with my 30th HS reunion.

    There are a couple videos if you google or youtube search '2014 Rockville Antique and Classic show'. I took only a couple Pantera pics I'll upload tonight. The black & white ones and blue & yellow ones parked together were very contrasty.

    Regarding arriving after 11, I witnessed a 1930s-1940s huge convertible full of adults trying to access the showfeild from the fleamarket and man w/ golfcart and attitude cut them off blocking the entrance saying 'this road closed at 11!'.

    Organizers need be aware that these cars can be tempermental and getting there timely does not always work. Add to that the Beltway was reduced to one lane near Tysons for construction and there was a 20 foot extending aluminium ladder in the lanes on American Legion bridge that morning.

    Geezer in a golf cart! A few of us witnessed a senior act like a jerk because somebody parked to close to "his section".
