Apologies to everyone whose cars I took pictures of, I did not have time to wipe your license tags off the pics.
The traffic was bad going and coming back. And the rain cut the show short a bit.

Here's the group with our trophies, including 2nd in Car Club attendance.


and here are the chargerforums folks, the Custom Chargers from Richmond, Virginia Beach, Hampton, who came up and got no. 1 for Car Club attendance. It was nice meeting GeekGirl, 1bad4dr(noreplacementfordisplacement) and others. See you at the next show, yes there's more coming!

Not sure whose Magnum this was.

Sly.

Next time I'll get the owners to pose in front of their cars.

Thanks!

Yeah, that Cherokee is a bunch of fun, but to be truthful, the Cherokee SRT8 belongs to my wife, the black Charger SRT8 next to it belongs to me.

Great pics... wish I would've made it out there now. Can't wait to see the rest Sly.

A few more Pics. Most of pictures with the exception of these were of "Rims" and "Grills" because these will be my first mods. I was more focused on this than anything else yesterday. I've got a lot of catching up to do. I need a Grill and some Rims !!

[rickgonz]

nice pics Sly. Let us know when you plan to put in your grille. I'll come if just to kibitz! From watching you I'll learn what not todo! harhar

well I'm off to KC. I expect I won't be posting much over the next week unless the hotel has free internet. See you all on Sat!

If so, I may need some advice from you when I do mine.

Good to meet you too! I bet next time you pay attention to the people at the front gate!!

I should have pulled in next to you since there were no Silver Steel Metallic cars there. We still would not have had the biggest group, but we would have been closer. This show was a learning mode for me. I will understand more next time.

The guy that bought my car for me has a garage in Woodbridge. I took it in there and their mechanic "helped." What "helped" translates to, is that he did most of the work so I wouldn't be in there all day! It really wasn't hard. There were instructions that came with the new grille. It would be best to have somewhere inside to do it since you have to take the front end off and you wouldn't want anything to happen to it whille it was off.

Where is Bryans Road, MD? Do you plan on going to the mini-meets they have at the Chik-Filet near Dulles Town Center?

Nice pictures Rickgonz. thanks for posting them.

Do you know the judging categories? What awards were won by who???

I can't believe that we came in second in any category to the chargers. The judge should have said "Well the NOVA 300 group does not have as many members here today, but since their cars are just so incredibly nicer looking than any other group, we're going to give them first place!"

"Good to meet you too! I bet next time you pay attention to the people at the front gate!!"

You are so right, But it turned out to be ok since me not doing so helped the club take second place in most club attendance.I also learned a lot yesterday, mainly "I need a grille and some rims" without a doubt.

Bryans Road is located about 10 miles down 210 (Indian Head Hwy exit 3A, second exit across the woodro wilson bridge on th Maryland side) . I plan on going to all the events that my wife will put up with. I know she is going to throw the towel in sooner or later though, so I'm going do as much as I can until she does.

But I really don't expect too much of problem as long as I bring her every now and then. When i get at least a grill, I will try to get to most of the mini events too
