Default Great Falls (Northern Virginia) Cruize In Today>>

Bring beautiful weather and they will come...in the hundreds.... pretty amazing collection of cars and by far the largest gathering (250+ cars).
To make sure this survives in the C6 section I will start with my car MR BLU sitting next to an original Fiat 500 (manufactured from 1957-1975)>>>


Would say over a dozen Vettes of all C types were there.... here is a fairly new C6 with a Lingenfelter set up engine>>



This is an overview of ONE bay of the gathering>>>



Over in another bay of parking about 25+ Lotuses/Loti showed up>>




Rarely do you see two Lotus 7s at the same time>>


Have many more pics, but thought this was pretty funny... a Ford GT driver thought his car should occupy two spaces so he parked at an angle which is really not a cool thing to do at a car gathering... well a fellow with an original Fiat 500 decided to share the half space with the Ford GT>>>

I'd love to check that out sometime. In the future would it be possible to find out ahead of time when and where? Is this posted somewhere?

Absolutely... is every Saturday (subject to weather since many of the cars are collectors) from 7 am 9:30 am BUT due to popularity of the event (cars are coming from PA, Delaware, Maryland, VA) if you are not there by 6:30 to 6:45 am you will be parking in one of the side parking bays...which is OK.

Location is at the Great Falls Town Center at the intersection of 193 (Georgetown Pike) and Walker Road in front of the Old Brogue Tavern



Easy shot for you... just come down Leesburg Turnpike (east) and at the intersection with 193 make left turn and just keep cruising until you come up to the point shown on the pic above.
