Cars and Coffee is great fun, if a bit early in the morning. I took the Elise there the last Saturday in May, and we had over twenty Lotus in a long row on the side parceling lot! If you have an exotic or classic car to bring along, getting there before 7am will get you a good parking spot. I got there about 7:30, and couldn't actually park with the other Lotus, but as I pulled in, another guy with a Chrome Orange Elise parked right next to me, so that worked out!
The white E30 M3 in yur photos is owned by a former BMW CCA Local chapter president. There are a fair number of BMWs coming out now, including some M cars and 2002s, even a Z8.
If you all want to see even more pics, check out e Lotus Talk thread by my friend Bob... He has an Ardent red Elise, and is there every Saturday morning. He even showed up in February... in the snow! Bob's thread is becoming famous, and Katies pulls in exotic, antique and unique cars from owners all over the DC area. Their coffee drinks are not bad either.

Sometime, ut would be cool to get a dozen or so One series cars and park over on the side lot all together. It would be neat to see so many of them in one place.
