Dino's (meandmyredcorvette) red FGT gets a few seconds of face time in the video.

Pretty sure that's PeteK in the hat talking to who I'm assuming is Dino.

Great show. Had the pleasure of going earlier this year. Variety tops that of even Irvine C&C, IMO.

BTW - you forgot the article;

The rumor going around the car show last Saturday morning was that Jay Leno was coming. Like medieval fathers with marriage-age daughters, some of us were hopeful a deal might be struck............

To be fair, I've been to several Irvine C&C's and only the one Katie's. The Katie's I happened to go to was apparently an exceptionally good turnout according to some of my friends that are regulars. They don't get the 'first-looks' at concept and just-released cars like Irvine, but the sheer variety in Virginia was certainly greater than I'd ever seen elsewhere.

Well then, you better get in touch with ChrisA and head out to the Pasadena Art Center College's annual car show this Sunday.............if you want exotic variety that you'll never see anywhere else + Jay Leno! The last time I went, Leno showed up with his McLaren F1.

I'd love to check it out but Pasadena is 3 hours away and I'm running 1/2 mile races at the airstrip in Coalinga this weekend:)

Yup, that's moi in the hat and flight jacket chatting with Dino. I didn't get there early enough snag a prime spot--I only arrived at 6:50 a.m. or so...

The Katie's C&C tends to taper off in the fall as the weather gets less cooperative. However, this Saturday is supposed to be clear and cool, so there probably will be a good turnout again. I'll meander over there about 7. I ain't gonna get up before 6 on a Saturday just to get a prime parking spot.

Also, if you haven't seen Eric Z's custom creations, you will be really impressed (he is interviewed in the video clip). He has at least 4 of them, and they are works of anachronistic mechanical art.
